Ok, so we know she spends everything she makes and that she'll throw the law under the bus at a moment's notice to strike a blow for minorities and liberal activism.
Still, with the Doofusocrats in charge in both houses, one would expect she'll get appointed.

I just want to know.. DID SHE PAY HER TAXES. HIRE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and not pay benefits. Do all her own school work.. Not kill kittens. I could care less about OBAMA appointing her on his views. HE IS ENTITLED. I did see that ROMNEY called her "troubling" which makes ME NERVOUS. and Can we get anyone from any where besides NEW YORK,CHICAGO or CALIF. There are other parts or the country. NEXT ..do we need the top court to have a INDIAN GAY person appointed to be politically correct? I think there is too much being read into someone if they go past the same credentials as any top official should have. Like do they read liberal books on thurs. nights.. Do they watch only the NETS... Do they eat anything besides TACOS... We need a better press... A BETTER CONGRESS

Until Mitt Romney comes out and promises he doesn't believe in any of that wacko Mormon nonsense (like the magic underwear), I don't really care what he thinks. Might as well be a Scientologist. This man's sanity is suspect.
Now, if he's like any *sane* Christian -- those who pick and choose what they believe in and reject all the hooey like virgin births, assorted "miracles" and resurrections -- I'll give him a pass.

Interesting that no one here wants to note the readily available fact that Sotomayor was made a judge based on her qualifications by some guy named Bush. Bush was Republican though that will not satisfy today's "Republicans".

About the Bush 1 appointing her to a LOWER COURT ..
LOWER COURT. NEEDED DIVERSITY. REPUBLICANS ADD and keep MINORITIES
Now she was qualified and got a promotion. Now think along lines of the real world.
Do all promotees get to go higher up in the world? No.
They are judged at their new position WITH TIME and EFFORT and QUALITY of their work determining ANY FUTURE ADVANCEMENT.
NOT RACE,GENDER, (POLITICS) or how POOR THEY WERE to start with.
NOW she should be judged not by who and when ...but by what SHE said,wrote and advanced the LAW...not any political platform.
I dont want MY life determined by those thinking the poor shall get more...or that RACE determines what benefits society shall give them.
I would hope you want your life to be fair and JUST.
A Supreme court judge is MORE IMPORTANT than a PRESIDENT.. Congress...or military person.
An activist judge depending on emotion ..rather than the law would be DANGEROUS.

Anybody Obama nominated would immediately be attacked as an "activist judge" just out of reflex motion.
"Activist judge" has just as little real meaning as "liberal" or "conservative" in today's political landscape. It's just a code for "any judge who won't advance the political agenda of the Republicans".

pure BS.
any Body WITH A BRAIN knows that abortion and gay rights are driving this selection.
Anybody with a brain knows that both those things need a JUDGE to advance their agenda because VOTERS wont.
Add gun registration,and conservatives have a valid agenda to WORRY ABOUT.
and we haven't started with GLOBAL WARMING ...TORTURE...phone tapping's..
so MG tell me why liberals want activist judges appointed and not conservatives...or those that FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION,not make up opinions has they go along.
anybody a REPUBLICAN president appointed...is asked those very same questions.
Not how smart they are...what race they are ..nor how poor they were when they started.
THERE is a litmus test for REPUBLICAN appointees..
NOT DEMOCRATIC ONES.
now spin away...

Follow the constitution, eh? Good one. I'm going to spend the rest of the day laughing.
Tomorrow, I'll turn to scouring the document for ANY mention of abortion, gay rights, global warming, torture, phone tapping, etc. etc.
You, on the other hand, should ponder what it is you mean by this, you bigot.

You can argue semantics all day about any topic if you want to avoid the real issues.

You comments are typically not worthy of a reply.

Well, I guess that explains everything then. Why do you post at all if you don't have anything to say other than some vague comment about "real issues"?

any Body WITH A BRAIN knows that abortion and gay rights are driving this selection. I will point out that Judge Sotomayor has sided with the anti-abortion side in 100% of her decisions regarding abortion cases. Actually, I am very distressed by this pick. I do not want a mainstream jurist who is smart and judges cases on their merits like Sotomayor. I want a screaming liberal activist judge who can put Scalia in his place. Oh well, next time...
