The public air wars over Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor kicked off Wednesday as a liberal coalition announced the first television ad backing President Obama's high court pick.

The Coalition for Constitutional Values is launching the ad, titled "Justice," with what they call a “significant” six-figure budget on national cable and broadcast news.

The advertisement uses President Obama's own words in touting Sotomayor's qualifications, running through her academic and judicial résumé while calling her a “tough prosecutor” and “distinguished judge” with a “practical understanding of the law.”

It is the first but certainly not the last time the coalition will weigh in on Sotomayor's side. The group is a collective of organizations including the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the Alliance for Justice and People for the American Way, among others — the leading liberal organizations that will spend money to advocate for President Obama's judicial nominees.

2. maybe H8 will dissipate by then.

Where I live there are already ads against a Lt. Governor saying he refused money to help the unemployed. I think these hate mongerers need to realize they live in a new age: that of accountability.
