Colbert’s advice on how to "Bork" Sotomayor

Questions and answers have been the order of the day in this second day of hearings for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. She admitted that he infamous "wise Latina woman" remarks where “a rhetorical flourish that fell flat" and backtracked by noting that no “ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judging." She has been grilled on various subjects by the Judiciary Committee on issues such as gun control and abortion.

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:
