More reaction from the right

Looks like the right is going to focus (unsurprisingly) on painting Sonia Sotomayor as an “activist.”

Here is what Bill Kristol wrote this morning about her over at the Weekly Standard.

“Where policy is made.”

That’s how, in 2005, reported Supreme Court pick Sonia Sotomayor characterized the Court of Appeals, where she now serves. It’s undoubtedly even truer, in her eyes, about the Supreme Court. The debate over her confirmation could be an interesting “teaching moment”–a politically important teaching moment–for constitutionalists who would beg to differ from Sotomayor’s vision of the appropriate role of the federal judiciary.
