    Merits of the case

    This is a case that has bothered me from the first time I heard about it. As a lawyer, I can see both sides and they both have merit. There was no way I would have even tried to predict the Supreme Court's decision, since it is so easy to argue either side.

    Nonetheless, this will give the Republicans another opportunity to gripe about Sotomayor. As if the Republicans really needed any reason to gripe. They will gripe even without a reason.
