What do you think of Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court??

[skiracer]

give a man in power enough rope and he will either hang himself or the people he is governing will take care of it for him if he doesnt do the right thing. its just a matter of time before he is recognized for what he is. and we all know who and what he is and who and what she is. two peas in a pod and the people of this country gave him an overwhelming majority in this last election. it doesnt say much for the general publics intellect or understanding of the candidates up for election.

I need to see her in a bikini, before I make up my mind....

Anyone who interprets the Constitution of the Unites States to say that states have the right to deny gun ownership to law-abiding citizens has a serious reading comprehension problem. This woman is a legal hack and may be qualified for dog-catcher. But supreme court justice? Not even close in my opinion.

You're probably right Rob...Harriet Myers was a much better choice!

How can people stand by while the hard working citizens' taxes go to the people who don't offer anything but another mouth to feed?

People aren't just standing by. Nancy Pelosi, for one, is buying the irresponsible people in America birth control to fix the mouth feeding thing.

Frankly, I am completely frustrated with the namby pamby baby kissers that are in the position to make and intrepret the laws of this country.

This whole adminstration is a joke... a cruel joke on the people. Government's role in our daily lives is getting way out of hand. We have too many systems and regulations and none of them work. They are for people who make the laws, and also encourage other people to use it to their advantage. When has this thought of "government works for the people" been switched around to "people at the mercy of the government?" Too many people are standing in line waiting for a handout rather than going out and making something of themselves. Nobody, not even corporations, are accepting the responsibility of their own actions. How can people stand by while the hard working citizens' taxes go to the people who don't offer anything but another mouth to feed?

Our current system is in need of a serious adjustment and letting in this pinko facist will only be another nail in the coffin for the US.

Where's John Galt when you need him?

My wife can carry a hose while it's pumping full blast...if you think Sotomayer is a bad pick, have you heard about Brian Deese, the new car czar? Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ForSfC4EV0 (I'm not a big Glenn Beck fan, but he tells the Deese story objectively, although with a very satirical tone)

He's the 30 year old kid that is overseeing GM right. I am not saying a young guy can't do the job but, we have a 30 year old kid that will be taking over our company when our 78 year old President retires. If we were a publicly traded company, I would tell everyone to sell their shares because profit has been going down since the kid has been running the show for the last year and a half. Luckily, I have my own separate relationship with our factories.

I was a fireman at the St. Croix refinery. I wasn't very good though. I was one of the few people who could carry the hose by myself when it was pumping water full blast.

Aha, and all this time I have been wondering what all that pumping iron was good for

What she did with Frank Ricci and the rest of the firefighters was a disgrace. She's a racist. She's the perfect selection in Barack Obama's new America, both beneficiaries of affirmative action.

Frank Ricci came in 6th out of 77 in his exam, QUALIFYING for his officer promotion. Too many white males QUALIFIED, can't have that.

i hope they question her strongly enough to see exactly what her real views are on all the issues. i know she is a liberal and leans far to the left. and being ethnically very hispanic can her instinctive feelings be kept out of her decision making processes as per the constitution had meant it to be. during her career she has made several statements which i dont agree with but dont really know specifically what her intent was at that moment. but i would want all of these questions answered before i made her a supreme court judge and everything that goes with it.
pete, i cannot believe you see anything interesting there.

Ski ya goota admit ......she does look better than Harry "The Skieve" Reed! LOL

These are the instructions that trial judges give to jurors in the Ohio court systems:

Consider all the evidence and make your findings with intelligence and impartiality without bias, sympathy and prejudice so that the plaintiff(s) and the defendant(s) will feel their case was fairly and impartially tried.

You must not be influenced by any consideration of sympathy or prejudice. Sympathy is a common human experience and the law does not expect you to be free from such normal reactions. However, the law requires you to disregard sympathy and not permit it to influence your verdict. You should treat each party with equal consideration[, whether that party is an individual or a business].

It is your duty to weigh the evidence carefully, to decide all the disputed questions of fact, to apply the instructions of the judge to your findings and to render your verdict accordingly. In fulfilling your duty as jurors, your efforts must be to arrive at a fair and just verdict.

Based on this and her position on empathy, she wouldn't even make a good juror much less a supreme court justice. The latest decision of hers being reviewed was blocking firefighters who took a test for a promotion because 18 whites and only 1 Hispanic were eligible for promotion and therefore is unfair since minorities are under represented. I'm sorry, but if my house is burning down, I don't want firefighters selected by the color of their skin saving my house--I want the best trained firefighters trying to save my dogs, whether they are white, black, red, orange, magenta, or otherwise.

Our government has already made a mockery of our constitution in the past few years. The good news is I can still own a gun to dispense some instant justice if I'm ever a victim of a crime. I've lost faith in the justice system and pretty much every violet crime you read about in the paper was committed by someone who should have been in jail for previous crimes, but was released because of empathy.

The guys who wrote the Constitution owned slaves. I'm just sayin'.

It was written a long time ago.
