UPDATE 5/26/2009 – According to Fox News, Precedent Obama is to announce Sonia Sotomayor as his Supreme Court nominee this morning.This news should bring a sigh of relief to those who were worried that Obama would end up nominating a snarky, ‘empathetic’ far-left liberal of questionable intelligence to our nation’s highest court. (sarcasm quite intentional…)

Somebody needs to tell Sonia Sotomayor that the US  Court Of Appeals is not a policy-making body.

Obama’s leading Supreme Court candidate said in 2005 that the “Court of appeals is where policy is made”. But it gets better, because she said it on tape. But wait, it gets even better, because she knew she was being taped and postscripted her comment with “…and I know this is on tape and i should never say that..”

Sotomayer is, apparently, not known to be among the brightest in her field, but to say something that is just so….counter to what the job of a court of appeals judge really is goes to demonstrate both her lack of respect for the judiciary and the degree to which she is unfit to sit on the Supreme Court.
