Sotomayor Tells Senators She Will Follow Rule of Law

That would be nice :)
The function of the Court is to determine whether a law is constitutional, NOT to legislate.  That's why we have 3 branches of Government.

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor met with leading members of the Senate on Tuesday and reportedly confirmed that she will follow the rule of law on the high court. Potential opponents of President Barack Obama's nominee have been concerned that she will be a judicial activist.  Well, she has said that the court "makes policy".

Sotomayor arrived on Capital Hill this morning (Tues) for a meeting with leaders of both political parties, including pro-abortion Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who showered her with praise.

I love Lettermans top ten facts about Sotomayor!! She is an activist judge and the Republicans need to reveal this to moderate Democrats in order to block her nomination.
