Sam Smith Sums Up Sotomayor

"...The truth is that Sotomayer - except for her ethnicity - is an absolutely mundane, even boring, centrist judge from whom no surprises should be expected. Like her appointer, she has been elevated to sanctified status simply because the elite - many decades late - decided it was okay to have someone of her background in such a high position. And she seemed safe.

"She has thus benefited from a form of atomized affirmative action that fools a lot of people into thinking there's been a real change.

"But as the cops say, that's it, folks. You can leave now. Clear the area. There's no story here."
