Watching Sonia Sotomayor this week — even through the curtain of a traditional Senate hearing — I believe we were witnessing a Gold-Green at the peak of healthy Goldness. The first clue seemed to be the verbal slow pace, extreme comfort with processing and re-processing all ideas regardless of their importance or inanity. She seemed to be firmly in control of the room, the camera, and even the outcome by being very well prepared and practiced. Being called a bully in the workplace might be translated more kindly as being a real boss — demanding respect, completed work, total focus, i.e., she has little or no tolerance for lack of discipline and probably does not welcome lightheartedness unless it is well deserved or she engages in it herself. I had wondered if she might be Green early on, but her long legal track record does not appear to reflect a Green’s ongoing inventiveness or desire to make differences.
