Everybody has a story - her's is good but not extraordinary

I grew up around extraordinary people with extraordinary stories.

War heroes, People who were destitute and rose above it, people who were disabled and made life work in spite of it all.

I appreciate Judge Sotomayor's life story. It's a good one. It's just not better than many I know personally. Many from my own family.

So, let's get over the hype, how about talking about her qualifications and viewpoints. What does it take to be a member of the supreme court. Does she have it. Is she a problem in jurisprudence. I'm not impressed with the story above her ability or lack of it.
