Sotomayor hearings: A protest -- then a punch line

In the middle of a somewhat austere colloquy between Sen. Charles Grassley and Judge Sonia Sotomayor over property rights, yet another anti-abortion protester leaped to his feet. A stocky man in a business suit issued a warning to Republicans if they support Sotomayor: "The GOP is done!" he screamed. "Baby killers!"
Officers struggled to pull the man out of the hearing room.
"People always say I have the ability to turn people on," the low-key Grassley joked to loud laughter.

The election and appointment of publicity-minded and subjective-minded judges in America is destroying the credibility, independence, and impartiality of the judiciary. Just take a look at any family court across America now, there is less rule of law and more puffery and subjective non-sense. There is a huge amount of information exposing some of the issues with Judge Sotomayor at http://exposecorruptcourts.blogspot.com. I don't know, she seems like a bad-choice to me.
