Why Sotomayor should be confirmed

Along with the fact that she is very qualified (graduated from Princton summa cum laude, editor of the Yale Law Review, decades in experience, etc.), I think this passage from the New York Times profile on Sotomayor proves why she deserves to be confirmed by the Senate and become our next Associate Justice in the Supreme Court:
At other times, it involved more derring-do: if the firm had a tip from the United States Customs Office about a suspicious shipment, Ms. Sotomayor would often be involved in the risky maneuver of going to the warehouse to have the merchandise seized. One incident that figures largely in firm lore was a seizure in Chinatown, where the counterfeiters ran away, and Ms. Sotomayor got on a motorcycle and gave chase.
She chased counterfeiters on a motorcycle. Can she be on the Supreme Court and star in an action movie at the same time?
