Daniel Larison, on Sotomayor and her critics:
The continuing objections to Sonia Sotomayor as a racist and practitioner of identity politics simply baffle me. Her record on discrimination cases alone seems to show that the latter charge is bogus, and the other charge is so absurd that I can’t believe it continues to circulate... Conservatives write things like this, and then they wonder why minorities flee from them in droves.
