SaveFarris,
What Oliver said.

That’s a good thing.

The silence of the Democrats in the face of all this “leftist” talk is liable to set a media standard of what (Sotomayor) is BARELY acceptable in a Supreme Court nominee, even though she’s probably a little more conservative than Souter. If President Obama nominates a genuine progressive next time, the airwaves and newsprint will be filled with howling about how unsuitably liberal that person is.

Face it zygote zombies, she’s in.

We know she’s in, freD. We also know that if any Republican politician or any Supreme Court nominee appointed by a Republican presidenthad the same record and background and had said the same thing she did, not once but seven times, you guys wouldn’t shut up about it till the day they closed the lid on your coffins.

Media Matters would be doing the same somersaults, back flips and contortions to bitch about her as they are now doing to defend her.

If you denigrate Sotomayor you denigrate Dubya’s dad which means you denigrate Dubya who’s in league wit’ ‘em good ol’ boys who denigrate Sotomayor.

Face it zygote zombies, she’s in.

That’s exactly what she said, Farris. Stop trying to curve time and space.

I guess it really upsets these idiot crackers in Alabammee that some ‘mesican’ is going to be on the SC. –Burned

Wow, Burned, I thought ‘cracker’ was considered an ethnic slur. Careful, or Chris Parry might read this and write an article in the Vancouver Sun about this being a racist blog.

Or do whites have to call each other that term in an endearing way for it to officially become an offensive slur if a black person says it?

White male Republican Sam Alito specifically stated at his Supreme Court nomination hearing that he would take his “ethnic background” into consideration for all of his cases.

Republican Alito specifically stated at his Supreme Court nomination hearing that he would take his “religion” into consideration for all of his cases.

Republican Alito specifically stated at his Supreme Court nomination hearing that he would take his “gender” into consideration for all of his cases.

And all Republicans Senators voted for Republican Alito for Supreme Court Justice.

For Republicans, a white male Republican making such statements get a free pass, but less offensive statements by someone who isn’t a Republican (white male), well, that’s against the rules…

And everyone knows that the Republican’s First Rule is that Rules Are For Other People

She’ll be confirmed despite what the asshole from Alabamee thinks. You can just feel his contempt for her, doesn’t she know her place in society?
Too bad for him and his toothless constituents…I guess it really upsets these idiot crackers in Alabammee that some ‘mesican’ is going to be on the SC.

Get used to it, losers. She’ll be on the bench a long time and there will be more SC retirements soon, so save some of your slobbering, impotent rage for the other rounds. Like it matters, because elections have consequences, remember?

Remember when white male Republican Sam Alito said that as a Supreme Court Justice he would take his “ethnic background” and his religion and his gender “in to account” for his judicial rulings?

Only even if they were one and the same quotes, which they’re not, Alito didn’t make the same comment seven times and then claim, apparently all seven times, that it was a rhetorical flourish that fell flat.

Good grief.

I’m assuming that a more experienced Doctor makes better decisions than a Doctor that doesn’t have that experience.

I assume that a more experienced mechanic makes better decisions than a mechanic without those experiences.

I assume a military General with more experience than a Private without those experiences makes better judgements.

I understand that “experience” and “better” judgement are alien concepts to the right wing who assumes that only ignorant racist white males like Republican Jeff “KKK” Sessions know what they are talking about.

After all, Republican Jeff “KKK” Sessions clearly stated that a 5-4 decision was magically a 9-0 decision based on right wing Orwellian magic.

Clearly right wing magic shows it strength by warping basic math and mangling simple facts.

After all, in right wing world, Ignorance IS Strength.
