Justice Kagan was qualified even if she had not previously been a Judge and has demonstrated that. Sotomayor isn’t precisely because she was chosen to fill a demographic. Clarence Thomas and Sandra Day O’Connor were chosen for similar reasons. Despite his longevity, Clarence Thomas has not ushered in a revolution in jurisprudence. I am not sure that he has ever authored a 5-4 majority opinion on a controversial topic. Justices Scalia and Kennedy as well as Chief Justices Rehnquist and Roberts did not trust him to keep a majority because his views are so eccentric that nobody signs on in whole. I have a feeling Justice Sotomayor will end up the same way. |
