One of our reporters inside the hearing, Larry Margasak, asked on @AP_Courtside if you've had enough of questions about Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comment. The response on Twitter so far? It appears the court of public opinion is still out:
chef4cook: @AP_Courtside No, not really LARRY! I think it speaks to her character.
vcolon: @AP_Courtside Yeah, we R all really tired of it. In fact, someone should tell them that we are all disappointed with the line of questions.
DonnaAddis: @AP_Courtside re: wise latina remark....no not tired of hearing it. it is important to get to the nitty gritty of how she thinks.
YourPeter: @AP_Courtside Re: Getting tired of wise Latina. Yes, but it's an old communications trick that if you say enough people will believe it.
LelandYiyuan: @AP_Courtside I'm sure Libs are tired of it, but truth is it says something about Sotomayor's character. That is legitimate questioning.
And Larry's response from @AP_Courtside: @vcolon @chef4cook @LelandYiyuan @YourPeter@DonnaAddis "Wise Latina" is valid inquiry. But how many Republicans have to ask about it? LM
