Sotomayor is very likely more conservative than Souter.

We had this same debate when she was nominated, at least some of us did. I think most were blinded by the fact that shes latino and a woman. But she clearly was not very liberal. Everybody came to her defense though once the republicans started attacking over the "wise latino" remark. I geuss thats all it takes. If conservatives don't like you for whatever reason it doesn't matter where you stand on the issues, thats enough for liberals to give you their support. Pretty stupid, but thats the way it is. My guess is the same thing will happen with Kagan.
