I disagree with you completely. But what I'm really interested in is this: Did you make the same argument when Clarence Thomas was nominated?

<div><font size="2" face="Arial">I'm very sorry to be the one to burst your little
bubble but, while the nomination of your 55 year old latina
is unquestionably politically savvy, she is far from the legal communities
most prominent shining light. Her nomination will, no doubt, score OBL a few
short term brownie points with a certain segment of the electorate but will
leave scant impression on American jurisprudence. While her story is touching
and all, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who honestly believes that she
has the intellectual firepower to make any headway with legal minds
the likes of Breyer or Ginsberg much less Alito, Roberts, or Scalia. She
is pretty much destined to be little more than a liberal "me too." In other
words, affirmative action as it's most commonly practiced.</font></div>
