One of the major issues lately has been the choice of President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. Republicans are railing about the fact that she has a record of siding with the democratic point of view in most of the cases she has decided. Most republicans want a nominee who they think will support the pro-life party.
Regardless of who is picked to be the new justice, I think that person will have to walk a thin line and be careful of their performance for the first few years. The potential for a nominee to be typecast is a serious one and will not help the situation at all. I hope that both parties will agree to select someone with a middle of the road record and settle for whatever happens next!
