That pretty much confirms our suspicions about her

Supreme Court justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor, meeting with South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint, manages to not answer a direct and simple question concerning the Second Amendment:

"She was unwilling to say the Second Amendment protects a fundamental right that applies to all Americans, which raises serious questions about her view of the Bill of Rights."

We would hope for general agreement on the idea that someone who holds the opinion that any or all of the amendments in the Bill of Rights doesn't apply to all Americans (regardless of which of the ten we're discussing) should immediately be disqualified from serving in the institution that serves as the court of last resort for upholding and protecting those very rights.
