the indignities, connivance and dirty tricks of Democrats (including VP Biden) toward another person of color, now Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. It was awful what they tried to do to him. Truly ( as Thomas himself described it) it was a new form of "lynching". Let us not forget how the press interpreted what happened back in 1991.
If Republicans even breathed in this manner toward Sotomayor, the press would be all over them in rebuke.
Media bias still lives.
If anything, she must be attacked on her liberal record, not the way Democrats tried to personally attack Clarence Thomas.
