Flipflops on abortion rights are de rigueur, making it impossible to predict what the presumed new Justice Sotomayor will do.

The AUL probably faces a tremendous pressure from the Republican Right/Neo-cons to change its view. Ideological conformity has become the norm of the right's strategy to oppose Obama and his nominees in every turn. We should not be surprised that this is happening. Expect a down and dirty fight up to the last second. I predict a strict party-line vote for Sotomayor's eonfirmation, although given the Dems' super-majority advantage in the Senate, she will still prevail in the end.
