Ana Marie Cox hasn't read Sotomayor's writing, but accuses her of "not performing at grade level"

Ana Marie Cox, in today's washingtonpost.com discussion:
Successful judges tend to be good speakers and even better writers (Scalia probably writes the most entertaining decisions of the SCOTUS, tho Roberts is also good); Sotomayor's "Latina line" makes me think she's not performing at grade level on either.
Wow, that's a pretty harsh assessment. How did Ana Marie Cox reach her conclusion that Sonia Sotomayor's writing isn't at the "grade level" of a successful judge? Not by reading Sotomayor's writing:
That said: Like 99% of the people weighing in on her nom, I haven't read her all of stuff! Or most! Or any!
What "grade level" does suggesting someone's writing is subpar without actually, you know, reading it qualify you for? Third?

He did the same with Barry...
If you think the 2 statements are equivalent, you aren't looking at the context. Figures.
