Attacking Sotomayor with the Hillary Arsenal

So the Republicans will no doubt attack Sotomayor as a far-left activist judge who looooooves affirmative action, and who kills babies with her gay-ish bare hands. But more insidious will be, as I noted earlier, the sexism.

Knowing how they treated Hillary Clinton for so many years, they've already begun the crazy ballbusting woman attack -- echoing unsourced rumors in an article by Jeffrey Rosen for The New Republic in which she's repeatedly defined as "temperamental."

In other words, the attacks from the far-right will be quite familiar: Guard your balls, boys!
