I'm very interested to read that but I'm waiting until someone transcribes them so I can read it.

I think it is no accident that Ginsberg seems the most pleasant of the three -- apparently devoted to her late husband, and children, her career aspirations in her earlier years took a back seat to her family. Contrast that with the celibate Sotamayor or the lesbian Kagan, feminist career-women in the worst sense.
I have a lot of respect for Ruth Ginsburg (and Anthony Kennedy, who's the Justice for my Circuit which is great).
On the other side, Elena Kagan (and Samuel Alito) are two people who in my opinion have no place in SCOTUS. They're not Justices, they're copycats who'd sign off anything which corresponding with their political agenda.
Sotomayor, I haven't yet read any ruling she delivered. I'm sure she did some, but I have no interest in reading farm land or casino cases, so I'm still waiting for one.
Nevertheless the female Justice vote seem to be crucial in this case.
