I think that is a good thing. One almost has to be squeaky clean for these important jobs. I certainly hope she has no tax problems.No children, thus no Zoey Baird-style nanny problem.

Times are different in the political arena now. I think there is a deeper scrubbing when it comes to the Supreme Court of the USA.Why do you think they will be interesting? She's already been confirmed 2x.

Yikes, I totally remembered it wrong ... Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood were both failed nominees for AG. Lani Gunier was a failed assistant AG nominee. Did Clinton have a Court nominee withdrawn? I can't find evidence that he did.
The disassembled Republican machine won't put up any fight on Sotomayor--sure go ahead and alienate ONE more minority group, the Hispanics--they''ll quickly be seen as the party of just the crusty, fat, white men.[/quote]
Wow, the Repblican party is in such shambles that even I can now predict what they will say and do next...here, Newt Gingrich calls Sotomayor a "racist'..yes, folks Newt is now screaming reverse racism! Bwahhhahahahold, fat white men can't get a chance!:funn:>>>White House Smacks Gingrich For Calling Sotomayor A Racist
