Comment: Being totally 'incompetent' to answer this question, I'm going with I oppose the nomination. My 'incompetence' is based on the fact I can usually tell whether or not a person gives off "honest" vibes or not. Something is fishy at the bottom of the apple barrel. from Mary Esther, FL. by Tom

Comment: I want someone who unhold the law, not make law. from Pensacola, FL by Antoinette
Comment: Sotomayor is not using unbiased judgment. Her statements regarding men/women or latino/white have not left me with the impression she will be the best choice for court decisions. from PENSACOLA by SUSAN
Comment: Her defenders claim Sotomayor is not racist, but if a white male judge had made the same type of comments she had, he'd be crucified by the mainstream media. Her insistance that the Second Amendment individual right to bear arms does not apply to the states, after the Supreme Court's 2008 Heller decision, renders her unqualified by itself. from Pensacola, FL by Joe
Comment: Sotomayor is extremely well qualified to be a supreme court justice. Her 'wise latina' remark is probably very true. Those who claim to be 'deeply troubled' over the remark are some of the trouble makers that should be voted out next time around. I'm tired of these politicians that hinder progress just because the opposite party is for it. from Pensacola, Fl. by Mason
Comment: We don't need another supreme court justice who bases her rulings on her "feelings" and not on the law.z from Pensacola, Florida by David
