Great blog you got here. It would be great to read something more concerning that matter.

Some senators will regret their nomination hearing performance is recorded--particularly the male Ban-Abortion law-makers. Roe v Wade gave us 27 years without government enforcement of church laws banning abortion. Canon Law still bans abortion and suicide, but our tax-funded courts no longer obey the pope and interfaith Pro-Lifers. I want Obama to use taxes to pay for reproduction information in fifth grade, and for free contraception and abortion and voluntary sterilization. I want every city to have enough women's clinics so everyone can reach and use them. Ban-Abortion law exists because Pro-Lifers believe each conception has the potential to become a tither who will pay the ENORMOUS TEN PER CENT LIFETIME TITHE. It's $160,000 if the person pays forty years on a steady yearly income of $40,000. Too long, churches have amassed material goods (tithes) by forcing people to have big families of tithers. Pro-Life attacks homosexuals because they are not likely to produce big families. Down with tithe-seeking churches. Up with excellent public health facilities.

And so the meme is perpetuated.
I assume this blog post is based on the much-derided TNR blog post that gleafully transcribed the anonymous, personal, nasty gossip from a few former law clerks who worked for OTHER judges in the same circuit. And so the wheel turns -
Robert, when you're someday viciously and publicly maligned by all your anonymous enemies, and then that meme is passed along by others such as yourself, I'm sure you'll have no problem with that. Because, after all, they won't be saying anything nasty about you directly, they'll be reporting on what someone else said, who in turn, is reporting what someone else said, who in turn is publishing what his unnamed anonymous sources are telling him about you. Clean hands!

as a swing vote is probably the second most powerful person in America, after the president.
I do not believe he is childish about siding with or against the personalities of his fellow Justices.
As for Sonia Sotomayor, I think you will find her usefully thoughful on a panel of nine, not somehow obnoxious.
