Reply #23: I'm not seeking an argument. Sotomayor was chosen because she is a thoughtful justice as you said. [View All]

I'm just explaining that if we are seeking a balanced court then we need a super liberal to balance out the super right wingers on there.

Sotomayor was chosen because she was a moderate. I don't want to look up all the discussion from back then right now. But she was selected because she couldn't be called a wild liberal. She fit the profile you described.

I'm just tired of Democrats taking the high road and choosing moderate people when the GOP has stacked the court with extremists like Scalia, Alito and smiley Roberts.
