A rule for judging Supreme Court nomineess

After Sonia Sotomayor and Harriet Myers, the following should be very clear:

Whenever an adminstation's Supreme Court nominee is announced and people within that President's own party begin saying that there not qualified and not even that smart, take it as a sign they shouldn't have been nominated (and it's usually an indicator as in these two cases that they are a de facto affirmtive action nominee).

David Frum and many other couragious conservatives warned us that Bush nominee, Harriet Myers, was totally unqualified and Jeffrey Rosen and fewer liberals warned us (mostly when her name was floating around as a possibility) that Sonya Sotomayor would be unqualfied and not at the level of a Anton Scalia to say the least. If only the left had listened to Jeffrey Rosen when he warned them in the New Republic a latino activist (and memember of the racist LA RAZA) whose only desire as a judge is not to interpert the constuition but to advance her racial group's intrests and stick her finger in the eye of white as much as possible wouldn't now be sitting on the Supreme Court bench.
