Taylor is a columnist for National Journal and has been quite critical of Sotomayor, who he called a "devotee of identity politics." Check out our latest podcast here.

Who is Stuart Taylor and why would anyone care what he thinks?
Has he ever tried a case or been a judge?
Taylor is a columnist for National Journal and has been quite critical of Sotomayor, who he called a "devotee of identity politics."
Has he ever read any of her decisions? Or the cases she's been involved in? Taylor is as bad as Jeffrey Rosen.
