I think the NRA waited and sat on the fence way too long before they came out against her. By the time that they came out, many had already agreed to vote for her.
I agree except that she was a bad pick. She isn't nearly as bad as made out, and not as bad as it could have been (think, Deval Patrick). Coming out against her isn't going to win any friends and will simply alienate Hispanics.I suspect that the NRA knew it would make little difference. Sotomayor was going to get the knod regardless of what the NRA did or didn't do, so it was a moot point. She was a bad pick, but she was a liberal replacing another liberal. The end result was no gain, but no net loss either.
I realize this may just be like "jousting at windmills", however, I think it is time that we all concentrate all our efforts on soundly defeating anyone, Republican or Democrat that votes against freedom, against our representative forum of government, that does not hold our founding ideals sacred and who would promote socialism.
Years ago I would have not believed in "litmus tests", but we have come a long way, in the wrong direction, since then.
A vote for Sotomayor is a vote for totalitarian socialism. She is totally and completely unsuited to sit on the highest court in the land. Once our current problems ever turn around, any of these folks still in government need to be routed out and unseated.

Oh,
I think Sotomayor understands the Constitution, but following it, is another matter.
You are free to disagree that sugar is sweet. But you better have something to back it up.
You'll have to provide some evidence of your belief.
As to the second point, you totally misunderstand the issue.
