In a recent Rasmussen poll, only 38% of Americans believe that this “wise Latina” should be confirmed to serve on our nation’s highest court. Justice Clarence Thomas (who the left loves to attack at every turn) had the support of a majority of Americans during his confirmation process.
Fortunately, the left understands that we are all stupid and will save us from our own ignorance. She is, after all, “the most qualified nominee in the last 100 years.” In this way, we may be treated to years of Justice Sotomayor crafting new law without ever going to the bother of running for a legislative office.

I know it’s splitting hairs, but technically it’s still only a plurality that are opposed to having her confirmed. Not that it makes a tremendous difference, the 38% for her is the more significant number.
