Sonia Sotomayor is to Harriet Miers as:



Here's something I've been taking notice of lately.

It seems that most of the complaining, attacking, noise making and general
political criticisms of the "other" party, in both the media and here in
rec.boats, are lefties bitching about righties.

I thought you won. Why are you fighting and complaining? What are you
afraid of?

It's good to know your "foes" by their incessant squawks.
The alternative is even less attractive:

I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe;
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with my smiles
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree

(Poison Tree - William Blake)
