"a liberal judicial activist of the first order who thinks her own
personal political agenda is more important than the law as written."

Wasn't that exactly what was in the President's requirements for the job?

Rule of law, schmool of straw....SCOTUS needs people with empathy and a sense of fairness!!

I believe, rather than think, that someday, conservatives will once again recapture control of the government. When we do, we need to move with the same speed and determination Obama and his thugs are moving to wipe out these socialists.  One of the things we will need to do is impeach every last Federal Judge who has admitted substituting foreign law for the Constitution and US law in rendering their verdicts.  Sotomayor will go with that lot as would Breyer, Kennedy and Ginsburg.

"I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging," she said in a speech in 2002. "But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage."

This is a direct quotation from Sonia Sotomayor, who is presumed to be the nominee for the Supreme court.

Can you imagine if John Roberts or Samuel Alito would have said, "I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging, But I accept there will be some based on me being a white man?"

appointed by a RACIST AND a BIGOT!

Do the New Haven Connecticut Fire Fighters ring a bell?

She ruled that the fire fighters who worked hard and passed a test to be promoted could not be promoted because no black fire fighters passed the test, and her conclusion...THE TEST WAS UNFAIR AND TOO HARD AND HAD TO BE THROWN OUT!

Yes there was a Hispanic on the list of those WHO WORKED HARD AND PASSED!

The Supreme Court is now deciding this case! Will this affect the votes on the Supreme Court?

This test was Constitutionally sound and these Fire fighters should be promoted and

This RACIST BIGOT, should be OVERTURNED!

A filibuster can be successful!

She is ignorant of the Constitution and for that reason alone she should stay where she is! 

I am sick!

The Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have to stand up and say NO to this nomination.

A liberal is one thing but a Marxist Racist Bigot is another!

JUST SAY NO!

Just another blossom from the seeds planted by that great conservative intellect George H. W. Bush. Phew!

Some sources still maintain Sotomayer was the one who put that pubic hair on Anita Hill's Coke can.

The firefighter decision should be the one Republicans investigate in her confirmation hearings; it is the most odious item in her resume:

"Ricci v. DeStefano is a major reverse discrimination case now being heard by the Supreme Court. It concerns a suit by some New Haven Connecticut white firefighters who passed a mandatory promotional exam. Because there were no black firefighters who scored high enough to be promoted, the exam was tossed out, the white firefighters were denied their promotions and a number of black firefighters were promoted instead.

Judge Sotomayor attempted to summarily dismiss the case and toss it out of court, something that didn't sit well with the other members of the appellate panel that heard the case. As a matter of fact, she was formally reprimanded on the record by fellow Justice Jose Cabranes for her conduct during the trial, something that almost never happens publicly."

Yes, that case. That case was very poorly handled and an example of liberal judicial activism, and that point was made long before Sotomayor came up as a USSC nomination.

Honestly, I have come to believe that President Obama is a LOT smarter than we give him credit for. I think that this is a tactic being used in an overall strategy. Just LOOK at what's happened since he became president.

His overall strategy is the destruction of the foundations of conservative America. Considering that America was FOUNDED by Christian, religious conservatives fleeing an oppressive government... that means that he's out to wreck the foundations of America. He's already said that the constitution is "An Imperfect Document" that needs updating.

So, what does this have to do with anything? Consider the speed and depth of all of his decisions. You barely have enough time to process his first decision before he's made another. It's a flood, a frickin' avalanche. Nobody even looks at things he did two months ago (Except for GITMO, but that's because it's coming to a head.), because we're too busy taking in his latest policy changes, political miscalculations and blunders to even remember what he did a couple weeks ago that so outraged us.

On top of that, this pick does a NUMBER of things that help him out. Anyone still remember the birth certificate fiasco?? How do you think having Sotomayor in the Supreme Court is going to effect the ability at getting at it now. Think about it, if Sotomayor gets confirmed, and it later comes out that the birth certificate deal is REAL... all his decisions -INCLUDING nominating Sotomayor to the Supreme Court- are made null and void.

On top of that, he now has a supreme court justice that thinks the same way Rev. Wright and Alinsky do. He can go far with a Judge that hates white America as much as he does...

An important Doc_Navy FACT:

"Doc_Navy once bet NASA he could survive orbit and re-entry without a spacesuit. On July 19th, 1999, a naked Doc_Navy orbitted the Earth 12 times then re-entered the earth's atmosphere, streaking over 16 states while reaching a temperature of over 3200 degrees, and impacting the Earth at speeds that exceeded Mach 3. An embarrassed NASA publically claimed it was a meteor strike, and still owes him a beer."

I'd be surprised if Obama said something nice about our country. I'm not in the least surprised that he would green light a puppet to his socialist cause. "All for one and one for all" ... sounds great until the bullpen has been cleared and you need an outfielder to pitch the final pitch of the world series. 

Just remember which party is currently in charge of interpreting the "patriot act." 

By the way, great political tactic to sideline the N. Korean nuke story. 

Obama and Sotomayor are fellow travelers in the cesspool of liberal public policy, both are swimming upstream to spawn. These two are not the catch-n-release variety, but round-mouthed browns, "suckers", that need to be stomped on the riverbank!!!

This guy is going to get us all killed!!!!

...who has a prarticular problem with white males.

...but her confirmation will sail right through, as most republicans will support her.

Most republicans voted to confirm the far-left, pro-pedophilia kook Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

After all, RINOs only have two responsibilities once elected:

1) To get re-elected.

2) To go along to get along with those who are rapidly destroying this country.

The mayor of this <100,000 podunk town called in from Mexico to say he won't be coming home.  Seems his partner couldn'tget a legal residence approval.

Yeah, those of us who didn't know, certainly suspected he was gay, but that didn't make much difference to us through four elections in this redneck town.

But this does raise an interesting point.  If his predilictions were towards women, the mayor would have had the choice of marrying her.

I'm against gay marriage, but I think a case can be made for bestowing rights on partnerships.

Elections have consequences.

On the bright side, this isn't a pick up for the libs, it's replacing one lib with another. We just better hope none of the non-libs on the court retire soon, or it's lights out, folks....game, set and match for anything the libs want to do.

Scary times, folks, and it's only going to get worse.

Once again, the White House is screaming for a quick approval; just like the stimulus, the budget, cap-n-trade, health care...

How about we call for the same expediance to the abolition of nuclear programs in third world, rogue nations, huh Bambi?

You gotta love the priorities of this administration...

When the Constitution was written and approved by the States, political power resided locally and with the States.  The Constitution spelled out what the Federal Government could do.  It was a limiting document.  But some things were deemed so important, so essential, that a Bill of Rights was created to insure that the States or local governments could not strip those rights from it's citizens.  That's why the Bill of Rights exists, so that everyone in the United States is guaranteed freedom of the press, freedom of expression, freedom of religion, due process, and the right to bear arms.

But in some form of twisted logic, Sotomayor, in the written opinion from Maloney vs. Cuomo, stated:

"It is settled law, however, that the Second Amendment applies only to limitations the federal government seeks to impose on this right."

So it is Sotomayor's opinion that any State or any locality can say that the 2nd Amendment doesn't apply to them.

What about the 1st Amendment?  Or the 4th? Or all of them?  Talk about turning the Bill of Rights on it's head!  This is insanity.

I would not refer to Perot as a 'third party' because there was no party there. Any wackball can run for President as an Independent; every election a handful do. It takes an enormous amount of work and an army of people on the other hand, to really put together a whole new political party. It would then take that party several election cycles to build credibility and donors and a base while under attack from the principal two parties. The new party would not have a purity-detector mechanism to ensure that those that run are pure enough for the organizers. What is to say it won't fill up with XINOs?

Had Perot won by some magical alignment, he would still have been stuck with a democratic Congress to work with. Not all that much would have been different between he and Billy-Jeff, other than we would have been spared Billy-Jeff's disgusting personal failings.

Come on, folks, would you expect The Messiah to nominate anyone more to the right? Besides there is a more important, more pressing international incident at hand?!??!?!

The nomination of this "judge" ought to be problematic for anybody with half a brain.

Let us turn to analogy to bring the point home.  The Constitution may be likened to the MLB Official Rulebook.  The players are like citizens.  Is this sufficient for a game though?  No, because the players, because of their own self interests (winning), are not objective -- they are subjective.

Enter the umpires -- they are, shall we say, a "necessary evil."  Judges ought to be much like umpires.  They call the play in what ought to be an objective manner, that is, the call should be the same by any neutral observer (e.g., instant replay), and it should not matter what team the umpire personally likes.  Does experience enter in?  Of course it does -- an umpire with real world experience becomes good at making objective calls.  Are umpires perfect?  Is the Pope Baptist?  Does that mean that we let them off the hook, though?  That, say, some guy who grew up an Indians fan can now go ahead and call the close plays in favor of the Indians (because, after all, they are historically underdogs)?

Now, for the first time, we have an "ump" come along and proclaim that "no ump is objective, therefore I'm gonna make the call according to my identity, which, as a die-hard Indians fan, I would hope that I could make better calls than a Yankees patron."
