Peggy Noonan offers some excellent insight into what the Republicans in the Senate should do about Sotomayor. Notably it isn't what we've been hearing and reading in the conservative media.
Talking Points and Cautions
Mature and probing questions regarding the judges background on the bench will reap more support for the future than the thuggish behavior we've come to expect from our most esteemed legislators. It isn't about her ethnicity or gender, it isn't about her empathy or sympathy. It is essentially about her judicial reasoning.
If her legal rationale stands up to scrutiny then she should be confirmed. If it fails, then support for her will erode and even Democrats will be forced to respond.
I'm thinking that this approach, suggested by Ms Noonan, has merit.
