Under The Bus: The Sotomayor Edition

It's pretty sad that Sotomayor is going to advance to the Court, even though reviews from those usually friendly haven't been very good. Consistency and high standards don't mean anything in the liberal's worldview. It's all about a misguided notion of alleged fairness based upon identity politics for them. It's a shame they have so much power right now and intend to use every bit of it they can, while happily misleading the public with purposely misleading quotes and such. Even big media hasn't been able to ignore it.

As pointed out by John Hinderaker and others, Sotomayor disingenuously contended that she merely was agreeing with a statement by former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor about "wise men" and "wise women" reaching the same conclusion in a case. In fact, as I posted prior to the hearings, in her "wise Latina" comment Sotomayor actually expressed disagreement with O'Connor, and used the "wise Latina" construct to set herself apart from O'Connor. Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post reached this same conclusion at the time:

I long for the day when powerful Obama wraps his arms around me and takes me from behind!

So Dan Riehl has taken to personally deleting my posts and then replacing them with these vulgar ones basically calling me gay? What a pathetic and cowardly maneuver.

And the irony of a 50 year old unmarried man calling anyone gay is amazing.
