Sotomayor: Just Great

No matter your politics, we're about to get an intellectal lightweight and likely ideologue on the Supreme Court. Is there no end to the damage Obama is willing to do to this country?

And all because she's Latino and female. How repugnant.

yeah, she ain't no Harriet Miers.

[Troll Hunter]

LatinA, Dan. Latina. Wise-ass Latina.

Someone A] Tell Thlide that contherfatifs were the oneth that thcuttled Harriet Mierth, not Wiberalth, and B] Batck In The Tube, Pal.

[IslamoLlama]

Lols. They're slotting out Souter with a female, hispanic ideologically similar replacement! Our system of justice is upended! The end is nigh! Quick, to the bunkers!

You'd think there weren't three other "intellectal lightweight[s] and likely ideologue[s] on the Supreme Court" that Dan didn't utterly despise already.

Save the spittle-flecked outrage for a Scalia / Thomas retirement, and maybe people will take you seriously Dan.

[Slide]

oh... and lets not forget that mensa candidate Clarence Thomas....He wasn't selected because he was black now was he? How repugnant.

[Anon]

However much anyone dislikes Scalia, you can't compare him to Sotomayer or Thomas or even Miers, he is undeniably qualified to be on the Supreme Court.

[Roy Mustang]

An empty suit nominates an empty robe.

[anon]

I predict she will turn out just like Thomas..never deviate from the standard liberal view, won't ask questions and won't write any major opinions. I guess we could say that the court is now balanced out by a totally unqualified, intellectual light weight on the left to go with the one on the right. Sad.

[North Dallas Thirty]

The funny part is that the empty suit is completely imploding.

Today's claim? "Stimulus? I never said it was a stimulus package."

Liberalism: an ideology that produces people like Sotomayer and Obama who believe that they can completely contradict themselves on a regular basis and nothing will happen because they're black/Latino.

[Troll Hunter]

Ooooh! It'th llama being tho mean. Tho tho mean to you, Dan!

Cr^p. Sotomayor is so dumb and inarticulate she makes Bush look brilliant. That's a tough "accomplishment", but it's all hers.

[Lala]

Sotomayor claimed that she didn't have access to Classics.

Here's the high school's requirements -

Let's all just "Pray" that no one else retires in the next 3 1/2 years.

If you have a problem with prayer then "hope" may be the word for you.

The women is a liar and a sneaky one, JUST LIKE MOST ALL DEMOCRATS.

"That one" is a liar as well, and also a sneaky one but the true colors of "that one" are coming to light.

IT...is the worst thing to happen to AMERICA since Jimmy Carter.

It is not a racial matter in either of these two. Obama is half black and if he was doing good for this country it would be different. His race has nothing to do with his ability to govern this country. He is just not qualified to do so. If he was not such a socialist and so egotistical it would be a different matter. There are a lot of black folks that have good sense about them. There are a lot of Latino's that have good sense.

BUT...These two are two peas in a pod !

[Karen]

And they make fun of Palin!

She needs a good dictionary beside her at all times when she speaks just as the president needs his teleprompter. If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.

[John Cunningham]

On balance, I would prefer that Sotomayor be confirmed. her abrasive personal manners and her lack of eloquence will be much preferable to a far brighter leftie like Cass Sunstein or Kathleen Sullivan. As Beldar said a while back, if the Messiah had appointed Sunstein, within six months he would be leading Anthony Kennedy around on a leash.

Are you still pedaling that unsourced ridiculous Rosen hit job? Even Rosen has disclaimed it! What shoddy, shoddy blogging.

So, exactly what part of top grades and law review at an Ivy League suggest dumb? No, I am not talking "C"s like legacy W got. I am talking "A"s. And all grading is anonymous. So which of Sotomayor's opinions did any critics actually read to come to the opinion that Sotomayor is anything less than brilliant? Um, none. Whereas almost all lawyers who have ACTUALLY READ her opinions, she is a very, very good writer and legal analyst. And this hitjob comes from Riehlworld, a website that worships someone who can't cite a ONE single itsy bitsy Supreme Court case!

But Sotomayor is a latina, so the rightwing world can say that about her because of its underlying belief that affirmative action lets dumb people rise to the top. You have no data, no real world examples and no specific evidence but if you keep saying it enough times, it must be true. And you get to do it because racism and misogyny is okay in the rightwing media and blogging world.

[Mark E]

That is brutal.

[Slide]

wally you so hit the nail on the head.

[North Dallas Thirty]

"And all grading is anonymous."

Really? If so, then how do you assign grades to people, if you don't know what work is theirs?

Answer: By skin color. Leftists like Wally Sandaver believe that Latinos and blacks should receive extra bonus points for skin color and that, if not enough blacks pass a test, the test is automatically racist and should be thrown out.

That ultimately leads to situations like this:

"White and Kinney both testified Kilpatrick used the F-word in describing them while urging his security detail to get them off the porch. They said the mayor also made racial remarks about her and White.

"You're a black woman,'' Kinney quoted the mayor as telling her. ``You should be ashamed of yourself being with a man with the last name white. You should not be a part of this."

White is white. Kinney and Kilpatrick are black."

Endorsed and supported by Obama, of course.

wow..... the logic of ND30 is indisputable I'd say. Lol

[Anon]

There is no consensus anywhere that Sotomayor is a "brilliant" jurist or that she's a great writer, in fact, as far as I can tell, nothing in Rosen's piece has been found to be false. She certainly did not impress me as "brilliant" or particularly insightful or articulate.

As far as real world examples of less qualified people getting jobs/promotions/admission to schools on the basis of affirmative action, they are all around you....they are in the Ricci case, crystal clear, they are in the bus drivers I see in my own city who CANNOT SPEAK English, they are in the sullen, incompetant government workers I encounter, they are in graduation rates and testing data.

She may be more qualified than Thomas, but that isn't saying much.

[seekeronos]

John Cunningham makes a VERY good point.

Better a mediocre liberal jurist who will more or less keep to her own counsel... than an out-an-out totalitarian socialist and judicial activist like Cass Sunstein who'd much more easily sway the centrist justices with his arguments.

[anon]

I agree, on balance, Sotomayor won't be much different than Souter and there is a very, very slight chance that she will be a bit tougher on criminal defendants than he was, but its hard for me to believe that Obama would appoint anyone who wasn't in truth a doctrinaire liberal.

Like I keep saying, pray that Kennedy hangs on, if he retires, we're finished as a country, there will be no undoing the damage that another 30 or 40 years of a liberal court will do.

Look at the horriifc damage the Warren court did in its short time.

"wally you so hit the nail on the head."

Sounds like it's time for these two losers to get a room!!

Looks like Slime is finally going to get that sex he wants so bad, and he doesn't even have to pay this time!!

The only question is who's gonna be the pitcher and who's the catcher!!
