Rosen on Sotomayor, reconsidered

Earlier today I pointed readers to a Jeffrey Rosen piece that raised questions about whether readers should cheer Barack Obama's nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.

Soon after, a reader pointed me to Glenn Greenwald's rather withering response to Rosen's column. And I was sufficiently chagrined to have linked to Rosen's piece without discussing his critics and their objections that I've now removed the original post.

Go ahead--read Rosen. But make sure you read Greenwald and follow his links, too.
