NBC: Would Republicans dare vote against first Hispanic?
Yes, they would if the Hispanic has a record like this:
Judge Sotomayor is a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own personal political agenda is more important that the law as written. She thinks that judges should dictate policy, and that one’s sex, race, and ethnicity ought to affect the decisions one renders from the bench.
She reads racial preferences and quotas into the Constitution, even to the point of dishonoring those who preserve our public safety. On September 11, America saw firsthand the vital role of America’s firefighters in protecting our citizens. They put their lives on the line for her and the other citizens of New York and the nation. But Judge Sotomayor would sacrifice their claims to fair treatment in employment promotions to racial preferences and quotas. The Supreme Court is now reviewing that decision.
She has an extremely high rate of her decisions being reversed, indicating that she is far more of a liberal activist than even the current liberal activist Supreme Court.
Why would Republicans not dare to vote against her? Is she the only Hispanic out there? Doubt it!

This is a horrid nomination. BHO is proving himself to be at least bad as many of us feared.
It used to be nominees would be criticized as being capable of bias and activism based on their records. Not only is this klown on the record as such, she is the first one I have ever seen who openly herself stated it was true for her, reveled in it, and mocked the Constitution.
Shame on anyone who supports her. She is what the Court does not need.
