Why don't we use some Sotamayor quotes to form our opinions? From Reuters....

"Conservatives argued that she would use personal feelings to decide cases, pointing to her 2005 comment that federal appeals courts are where "policy is made" and her 2002 comment that a Latina judge "would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.""

In the same article, the liberal position - very positive of Sotamayor, did not reference any quotes.....things that make me go hmmmmmm.
