Judge "I know more than a white man" Sotomayor

again, the nobama spin doctors are trying to backpeddle and tell us what la judge really was really saying. i have lost track of all the occassions nobama's spin doctors have had to do this for his picks; not to mention his VP. if in fact nobamas picks actually know what they mean when they are saying the stupid things they say, why are we (the American people) even having these conversations. we are in a pit heading straight to hell with this administration...freedom is positioned to becoming just a word.

To Bork or not to Bork ?

Prepare to be smoked out of the Star Chamber Your Honor, or should I say ,Your Coyness .

Pray that Sarah Palin 2012 will be victorious

Dear Fellow American

Please pray this prayer with me

Dear Heavely God the Father, I pray unto Thee that Governor Sarah Palin will be inaugurated the 45th President of the United States of America on January 20, 2013, and reinaugrated President on January 20, 2017. I pray also unto Thee that Governor Sarah Palin will beat Barack Obama in 2012. Above all I pray that Sarah Palin will be the greatest President that the United States of America will have ever had from January 20, 2013 to January 20. 2021. These 3 prayer request I pray unto Thee Thou Heavenly God the Father that Thou wilt answer them both. And I pray this unto Thee in the name of God the Son , the Lord Jesus Christ , Amen

Thank You,

John Warren

Sotomeyer

She is a bad choice to be a judge let alone a supreme court justice! If she believe as she as siad that cases should be determined by race and she thnk a latina woman is smarter than white men, then she is in fact a racist! It is wrong to allow twisted La Raza thinking into the higest court of the land. Her own peers she her as lacking intelligence and depth. Mr Obama you lost my vote. You are not chage I can belive in.

Empathy no, impartiality yes. Any candidate who has made the statements she has made does not deserve the right to serve.

It is not enough

to know only of a potential Justice's past record or personal background. They ALL (liberal and conservative alike) cite that it would be improper to give hints in advance about cases that might come before the Court.

BALONEY. I hope that Judge Sotomayor will come out crystal clear about her own predisposition on the privacy rights of individuals so that all citizens know exactly what their Senators are voting on.

If she will not, she should not be confirmed, period---just move on down to Diane Wood (or whoever) and go again.

But it's "improper"! No, being coy and elusive is what is improper. This all goes well beyond Roe and every American that worked hard to elect a liberal president has an IRON-CLAD RIGHT to know whether they are or are not getting a liberal judge for life.
