The spectacle of the Senate Judiciary Committee interrogation of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is proof certain that old white men don't get that they are making fools of themselves by claiming that they don't operate on the basis of their race, class, and yes, gender.
Some of the bloggers who are following the grilling of this highly disciplined woman are doing the kind of analysis those of us with full-time jobs can't. I'm listing some so that you can check in during the day as the next round of public hearings continues. To keep updated, you will have to hit the refresh button on your internet browser every once in a while.
The New Yorker (observant of the gender and ethnic dynamics)
Talkingpointsmemo.com (Andrew Pincus is really smart and has himself argued nineteen cases before the Supreme Court, so he knows what he is writing about.)
New York Times (each day a variety of reporters chime in with their observations)
The Daily Beast (watch their fifteen best moments of the confirmation hearings and you won't have to waste all of your time waiting for the most sardonic exchanges)
