Any senator who believes that a nominee will not uphold the Constitution is obligated to vote against her. Frankly, I don't expect her to uphold the Constitution, I expect her to do what she can to pervert the Constitution to support her political and social goals.

Stand on principle, if nothing else. Show some spine! Conservative politicians may lose the Sotomayor vote anyway, but at least they can show which side they actually stand on, instead of being go-along-to-get-along. Besides that, when did the SocDemLibs ever go-along-to-get-along with us conservatives? Politics is supposed to be a two way street. All I've seen lately is a one-way sign, going the wrong way. Amen!
