I'm long on record as supporting gun control but saying it is best accomplished through the amendment process.
As for Sotomayor, I see nothing to indicate that she'll be a star of the court but nothing to suggest she'll suck. Seems pretty middle of the road in terms of qualifications. I have no real problem with her Latina statement since it is self-obvious even if impolitic when taken out of context.
But we often don't know ahead of time who will be good or bad, or even how they'll end up leaning politically.
