Of course President Obama is going to nominate a liberal to the Supreme Court. On life issues, Judge Sotomayor’s previous rulings have suggested she is not, at least, a pro-abortion fanatic, as many of his other likely choices would be. (She went easy on some abortion protesters.) In fact, according to at least one pro-life leader, she would probably be an improvement over the Republican-appointed retiring Justice Souter. From Pro-life Catholic leader roots for Sotomayor:
A prominent pro-life Catholic says he will be quietly rooting for Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be confirmed to the Supreme Court and said she may even be an improvement over retiring Justice David H. Souter – as both sides of the abortion issue try to discern her position.
William Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said Judge Sotomayor’s record has more bright spots than conservative Catholics can reasonably expect to get from an appointee of President Obama.
As a matter of fact, pro-abortion activists are worried about her. They apparently fear she might become THEIR Justice Souter.
