John Cornyn’s pop-up timer has deployed. His days in the Senate are numbered.
Did they accuse her of racism, or did they point out that she has said racist things?
And, if these unelected people were gushing about her empathy and charisma, I doubt he’d be complaining.
I agree, Cornyn has gone WAY off the rails. Are there any good conservatives left in Washington?
That was his first mistake.
And that goes double for getting a bigot put on the Supreme Court where the legal dunce can carry out the liberals form of reverse racism.You see, jurisprudence is not what is wanted, it's the reverse racism.
The general feeling amongst liberals, “white guys are too comfy in their jobs, family and lives to seriously fight for anything” — Yes that is a direct quote from a bunch of Washington liberals, who didn't know I wasn't one of them at the time.
This is why reverse racism isn't racism at all to progressives, like Cornyn.
Cuz he was so right about Sen Spectre
Sotomayor’s remark WAS racist - what the hell is wrong with these people??
Cornyn I will certainly let Gingrich or Rush speak for me any day of the week. You sir are a disgrace to Texas and need to grow a set.
Now, this. The Members should focus on her judicial activism, "making policy" via the bench, her view that a Latina woman is intrinsically more able to come to the correct legal decision than a white male, the Ricci case, and her judicial temperment.
The talking heads can do whatever - hopefully, they do not stoop to the level or the MSM, Kennedy, etc.
Yo, Senator. What exactly do you think “La Raza” means?
Her “white man” comment was racist on its face, and she needs to fully explain herself. Until then, she’s a racist.
We know that he is right don't we?
And that everything WE say is evil and wrong!
Welcome to the tidal wave of Alynski phylosophy that we are being deluged with!
Welcome to the new Amerika!
It amazes me, to this day, why conservatives have never learned to respond to the Alynski playbook.
We are always afraid to get down and dirty into the fight and always willing to sacrifice our own for the sake of virtue but giving into the plays of the other side who were using those same virtues against us to achieve THEIR own goals. And succeeding with astonishing success.
The stakes were very high this time and the best we could do is walk away from the fight when we got a little bruised.
Career politicians are only concerned about their careers.
What will come of you America?
Sometimes I think we are so screwed with this bunch in office (our party).
It’s a shame. Cornyn has been so reliable in the past.
But why not accuse the woman of being a racist. She is an obvious racist, has shown herself to be and there can be no denying it.
Many black and hispanic people are racists. More black than hispanic, I think, but is it immoral, illegal or fattening to state that obvious fact.
Republicans need to get over being afraid of the press. They will crucify conservatives no matter what they say, so why bother?
It’s during times like these that you find out who the true conservative ideologues are and who are just politicians with a conservative bent.
Words and deeds, John. Yours, Sonia's, Barack's. Hope and change brought to you by force and fraud.
Lawyer John Cornyn and others like him have infiltrated/co-opted all branches of government. Judicial activism/tyranny knows no bounds. Legal plunder is in full force.
The Law...(excerpts)...
For there are two kinds of plunder: legal and illegal.
I do not think that illegal plunder, such as theft or swindling — which the penal code defines, anticipates, and punishes — can be called socialism. It is not this kind of plunder that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Anyway, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the command of these gentlemen. The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. Long before the Revolution of February 1848 — long before the appearance even of socialism itself — France had provided police, judges, gendarmes, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds for the purpose of fighting illegal plunder. The law itself conducts this war, and it is my wish and opinion that the law should always maintain this attitude toward plunder.
But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder...
But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.
Then abolish this law without delay, for it is not only an evil itself, but also it is a fertile source for further evils because it invites reprisals. If such a law — which may be an isolated case — is not abolished immediately, it will spread, multiply, and develop into a system.
Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on. All these plans as a whole — with their common aim of legal plunder — constitute socialism.
But, unfortunately, law by no means confines itself to its proper functions. And when it has exceeded its proper functions, it has not done so merely in some inconsequential and debatable matters. The law has gone further than this; it has acted in direct opposition to its own purpose. The law has been used to destroy its own objective: It has been applied to annihilating the justice that it was supposed to maintain; to limiting and destroying rights which its real purpose was to respect. The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, in order to protect plunder.
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

Sotomayor belongs to the Mexican KKK, “La Raza.” That’s enough right there to support the claim that she’s a racist.
He could have stopped in 1998 in the primary for attorney general, but primary voters would not nominate the conservative choice, Tom Pauken.
Wrong. When you say that judicial decisions are made based on skin color or gender, YOU are the racist. Sotomayor has in my mind disqualified herself based on her statement alone. Judges rule on cases based on LAW. LAW. LAW.
