It's funny watching the wingnuts scramble trying to find something to
smear her with. What I have witnessed today are a bunch of right-
wingers scrambling to find something to oppose this pick on without
making it look like what it is .... politics as usual. I even heard
one wingnut mouthpiece claim that Sotomayor was only appointed to the
Federal bench by George Bush as some sort of political gesture of
goodwill to the Democrats, the obvious implication being that she
wasn't really qualified for the job. I mean, how can she be
qualified .... she's a WOMAN for Chrissakes ... and a Latino!

The irony is that had Obama appointed some old pasty white guy, as is
the norm, all the Repugs would be crying, "Where's the change you
promised? Same old politics as usual!"

It's early in the game, but I haven't yet heard one person give a
valid reason to oppose her. No doubt, the Repugs will try to dredge
(or is that Drudge) up some out-of-context remarks she made in some
decision years ago in an attempt to smear her, but I suspect her
confirmation will go fairly smoothly, assuming all her tax returns are
in order.

She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Princeton.
The wingers screaming above couldn't get into Princeton on the back of
a garbage truck.



Or the turnip trucks they keep falling off of, as the case may be.

Sucks being on the outside, doesn't it?

I believe I can handle it w/o getting ugly or hysterical. As a believer in
individual rights & reponsabilities I often differ with the heard.

Sounds like Brer Rabbit to me. If the GOP moves to the center, esp on fiscal
and defense matters, you can just say whig. On the other hand I don't think
the "values" issues are a real winner for the party of Lincoln.

Exactly, if the need is there, it will be met.

No need for out of context remarks: google Didden v Port Chester. Sotomeyer
and her co-justices did a hellofa job here.

There have been 110 Supreme Court Justices in this nation's history.
Only two have been women. If there haven't been any gays, well,
they're due.

You haven't noticed that they all wear gowns?

NTTAWWT!

Why is it that conservatives like Thomas and Alito, who lean so far to
the right that they're practically horizontal are considered
"patriotic," rational people who will calmly uphold the letter of the
law and anybody to the left of them is invariably described as a
hyperventilating, extremist, ultra liberal? Why is it so hard to be a
right wing extremist and so ****ing easy to be a left wing one?

Because we all know it's payback time on whitey! And to me Whites
voting for minorities that are considered to be lefties will get what
they deserve one day. When that day arrives, God help us all.

Seriously,
who really gives a crap what the right-wingnut think

anything?

It could hang out on the margins indefinitely.

The problem is there's no viable party to take it's
place. The last
thing we need is a one party system.


If the people feel it necessary to start a new party or

existing alternative to the GOP, they will do so.

The Democrat party is its own opposition party.

There is no "Democrat party."
