An associated press article from over the weekend takes "the measure of Sotomayor's courtroom manner." The article talks about the rumored "temperament problem" of Sotomayor--reportedly, complaints listed by anonymous lawyers in the Almanac of Federal Judiciary.
But the article identifies the main problem as intense and vigorous questioning of the lawyers before her. And such talk always begs the questions of whether temperment should affect the consideration, and whether temperment would enter the debate over a male justice.
