A fair number of Republicans voted in favor of her nomination at the time.

Could you link to any original writings or analysis of her position on privacy rights? If she really is a strong supporter, I'd be very pleased, because taking privacy rights seriously is a good foundation on which to build libertarian policies. Privacy is fundamentally about the idea that the government should have no say in the private sphere, and thus I would expect that a strong supporter of privacy rights would regard, for example, minimum wage and anti-descrimination legislation as violating privacy rights.
By all means, GOP, go after her with everything you've got... then wonder why what's left of your support among women and/or Hispanics dries up like a puddle in an Arizona parking lot.

If the GOP calls her a Latina whore in the Senate, Latino voters will abandon them for two generations.
Great choice. Obama is ready for the fight that the GOP will lose.
And she loves her mother, brother and step dad.
