Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) said Thursday that Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s past statement that the “court of appeals is where policy is made” would be a problem for her if she were nominated for the Supreme Court.
“That's a problem,” Hatch said during an interview on Fox News after being shown a clip of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals judge’s comment.
“She would have, I think, a more difficult time if she was nominated because of statements like that, and, of course, she has a whole raft of opinions that I think would have to be scrutinized very carefully,” he said.
…The Republican senator said that in his conversations with President Barack Obama, he has been assured that the president will pick someone “in the jurisprudential mainstream.”

By the way, I read that Obama has TomTom installed on his teleprompter. That is so wise of him. That way the same thing that tells him what to say, tells him where to go. If only I worked for TomTom, I could tell him where to go. :)

Everytime I see him speak I keep thinking someone is going to do like in Anchorman, and he will say something totally crude because the teleprompter told him to.

That is what would get slid on to Obama's teleprompter if it was me that could pull of such a thing. I bet he'd finish reading it to the press before he realized what he said.
