I am not nearly as concerned by her comments, in and of themselves (in their minds, I'd guess, most judges actually believe that, for one reason or another, they are better suited to be judges than many others.) I find it more disturbing that Judge Sotomayor would have the lack of restraint, temperament and simple common sense to actually give voice to her grandly delusional feelings at a public forum. Incredible.

I am sure she'll be confirmed -- but I'd love to be a fly on the wall in the meeting room at the Supreme Court when Sotomayor, Roberts and Scalia get going.

My guess is that she'll turn out to be the Clarence Thomas of the left. She'll be a reliable liberal vote (as Thomas is a reliable conservative vote) -- though, like Thomas, not much else. She'll vote on ideological grounds, never write any major opinions (as her opinions to this point show that she's really not much of a giant of legal thought), and will occasionally write a dissent that no one else will join.
