Barack Hussein Obama likely selected Sonia Sotomayor for two reasons. One, she reflects similar ultra Liberal views that Obama does. Two, because Sotomayor is an ultra Liberal Hispanic, Obama is banking on the Republicans being politically correct instead of truly challenging the Sotomayor selection. The Conservatives of the Republican Party must finally take a firm stance, regardless of how they are portrayed by the media, Democrat Party itself, and the " Moderates" in the Republican Party. The future of the country could be riding on this.
