SCOTUS pick announced

So, it's Sotomayor. I don't have much to say on this yet. It's probably a good pick and no matter who it was, the opposition is going with "liberal activist" judge.

Meanwhile, the GOP 'accidentally' released their talking points to the press. Smells like a fix to me. The language is too mellow for it to be a real internal memo, IMO. Looks like a sneaky way to capture the momentum of the news cycle. The bigger question will be down the line. Will the GOPers filibuster, or will they remember this?

Update: The buzz has finally hit Memeorandum. Probably crashed the server. There's almost a full page of chatter.
