"In 2001, President George W. Bush nominated former Justice Department lawyer Miguel Estrada to a seat on the federal courts of appeals. In that instance, as today, the nominee was was a Hispanic with a compelling story and impressive qualifications. And some of the very people who are today praising Sotomayor spent their time devising extraordinary measures to kill Estrada's chances."

The party divides always have been and still are responsible for tearing us apart as a nation. These d-bags on Capital Hill need to start working for the people and not for their little d*ck measuring contest.

It was only the Federal Court of Appeals.
