Judge Sotomayor has so much more patience than I could ever dream of having.

[Bleacher Creature]

To have to put up with the ridiculous questions from hypocrites like Sessions, Cornyn and Kyl and not snap is impressive, to say the least.

Matthew Yglasias had a great quote earlier today:

"I would pay good money to hear Sonia Sotomayor say, “Senator Sessions, I think it’s ironic to be facing these questions from a man whose judicial nomination was rejected by this very committee on the grounds that he’s a huge racist.”

5. Many of the questions were easily predictable (and some provided to her in advance). If a lawyer &

judge can't answer questions calmly in a factual way, they shouldn't be in those jobs. There's no point in letting the idiots get to you. Just answer (clarify if necessary), and move on. If the question cannot be answered, state why. If the questioner is asking irrelevant and/or idiotic questions, answer them to the extent they can be answered.

6. One Thing I've Learned, Being White Male Is The Default Perspective

If you are not white male, then the burden is on you to demonstrate that you are not biased due to your gender or race. I have to thank the Republicans for being so honest in advocating that point of view.
