Sotomayor has also faced scrutiny today over her judgment in a case involving New Haven, Connecticut's decision to reject results of a firefighter promotion test since few minorities qualified for promotions. Despite the legitimate concerns over her ruling in Ricci v. DeStefano, some conservative commentators have misinterpreted the case and deemed Sotomayor as a “reverse racist.”
Thus far, it appears as if the Senators (particularly on the Republican side) have yet to go as far as some of the smear tactics used against Sotomayor. There’s still plenty of time for that to happen, however, as they could employ Stephen Colbert’s advice on how to “kill” Sotomayor’s nomination:
