This is awesome, as is usual for Russ.
When you go to Feingold's Senate Site you will see 2 different ways he is letting layman citizens and lawyers/academics give their opinions about this nominee – via his listening sessions and via a special web page set aside for the purpose.
I don't remember him doing this with other nominees, not the web page thing, anyway. I think one good thing that has come about with Obama is it has caused other pols to ramp up their use of the net – of course, as we already know, Russ was pretty net friendly to begin with, but I can see where his net outreach has improved. This is a great thing.
So, if y'all got kudos/complaints about Sotomayer, let Russ know. I don't know enough to say much about her one way or the other with any certainty, but I have a nagging feeling she is not really liberal enough to counteract the RATS.
