SCOTUS

She said with a smile.
This should get him the Hispanic vote.
I don't care if you are Democrat or Republican, judges should not legislate from the bench.

Judge Sonia Sotomayor is sparking fears among pro-abortion advocates on the left who fear that she may be a closeted pro-life advocate, according to The Los Angeles Times.

On gun control, one Sotomayor ruling suggests she believes that state governments have broad rights to limit the possession of weapons.

John McCain answer to a question: They are lifetime positions as well as the federal bench. There will be two maybe three vacancies.
This nomination should be based on the criteria of proven record of strictly adhering to the Constitution of the United States and
not legislating from the bench.


Speaking at Berkeley's Law School in 2001, Sotomayor asserted that "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Can you imagine if a white male said that " a white male
would be better than a black, or Latina person"
He would be ridiculed by the left and in the media.
But Sotomayor will get a pass.

Sotomayor's decision in the Ricci v. DeStefano case, is currently in front of the U.S. Supreme. Writing in the Washington Post, George Will provides a one paragraph précis of the case:

In 2003, the city [of New Haven, Connecticut] gave promotion exams--prepared by a firm specializing in employment tests, and approved, as federal law requires, by independent experts--to 118 candidates, 27 of them black. None of the blacks did well enough to qualify for the 15 immediately available promotions. After a rabble-rousing minister with close ties to the mayor disrupted meetings and warned of dire political consequences if the city promoted persons from the list generated by the exams, the city said: No one will be promoted. Sotomayor ruled against the firefighters, a decision that her colleague and fellow Clinton appointee Judge Jose Cabranes, writes The New Republic's Jeffery Rosen, denounced as containing "no reference whatsoever to the constitutional issues at the core of this case."

But Obama wants her voted on soon.
The same Obama that voted against every GW Bush's nominee.
And even thought about a filibuster against Sam Alito.

BTW, did anyone notice N Korea claimed it had an underground nuclear test.
And launched an additional short-range missile from its east coast Tuesday night

And did anyone notice: TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday rejected a Western proposal for it to "freeze" its nuclear work in return for no new sanctions and ruled out any talks with major powers on the issue.
Iran has sent six warships to international waters, including the Gulf of Aden, to show its ability to confront any foreign threats, its naval commander said on Monday.

Let's see what Obama will do about this.
Maybe send them a threatening letter.
I see they take him seriously, NOT.
I'm sure Obama will some how blame Bush.
Maybe he will go on TV(again) and talk about it and himself.
His last speech he said "I" once every 33 seconds.
Now he can't vote 'present' like he did as a state senator, 130 times.
I still don't understand how someone with "no legislative accomplishments"
could become president.
This is what we get with a nation of zombies.
They fall for the slick talkers with few real facts.
Like, who and how are you going to pay for all of your social ideas?
He has no answers. Just more Debt, and people don't care.
Just Plain Stupid.
