If Obama Loses: The Courts

16. Who are the more qualified candidates you refer to?

I'm asking this sincerely. Because I know what both Sotomayor and Kagan's qualifications are and they are both, imo, extremely qualified and I'm very impressed with both of them, so far.

I'm asking this as someone who is more on the "very angry about a fair bit of stuff this administration has or hasn't done," but two of the things I've been pleased with are these two nominations. My biggest worry is that they may be hiding in the minority (if you know you're going to be in the four, you can just tuck in with the other three non-precedent setters) and that even if we could somehow turn the fifth justice, that will be the point at which they change colors.

I don't know, though. I've approved of most of the sides they've chosen, and at least wrt the cases I've listened to (I've listened to a bunch - I like listening to SC argument mp3's), they both ask probing, insightful questions.
