Why Not to be Excited about Sotomayor's Nomination
| By Doug - Jun 3rd, 2009 at 3:31 pm EDT |
Sonia Sotomayor would be another Supreme Court Justice with the background of being a corporate lawyer. She isn't likely to write opinions that break up companies that are "too big to fail" in anti-trust cases.
And, she isn't expected to be a justice in the mold of Thurgood Marshall or Earl Warren who made rulings that caused sweeping changes.
No one expects any Democratic U.S. senators to vote against her nomination but progressives should hope for more liberal nominees for the highest court from President Obama in the future.

These people oppose Sotomayor at their own peril as President Obama has many other possible nominees he could name that are much less corporate than Sotomayor.
