Dome looked long and hard for a North Carolina connection for Sonia Sotomayor.
At last, we've found one.
The Supreme Court nominee participated in a forum at Duke University's law school on Feb. 25, 2005, which may soon be notorious.
During the forum, Sotomayor made a remark about the Court of Appeals:
"... they're looking for people with court of appeals experience, because it is -- court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know -- and I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don't make law, I know. OK, I know. I'm not promoting it, and I'm not advocating it, I'm -- you know. OK."
Conservative advocacy groups have already begun using that clip to argue that Sotomayor would legislate from the bench, while liberals have said the remark is being misconstrued.
