By my count, this gives Cornyn 1 less ball than Lance Armstrong.

I see Cornyn is filling the RINO vacancy left by Spector.

“This is not the kind of tone that any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent,” Cornyn said.”

Wondering if Cornyn could take a little of his valuable time away from knocking Newt and Rush to explain “responsibilities of advice and consent” to Democrats.

She is a racist. She’s now apologizing for the comment she made in 2001 whereby she indicated that a hispanic judge’s decision is better that a white judge’s. She’s admitting to racism. PUBS don’t have anything to do with this woman who’s a racist.

You cannot appease Democrats. You must annihilate them.

They should rename themselves the GOC. The party of Gophers, Ostriches and Capons

Good Lord, can’t the Republican Party of Texas come up with someone intelligent? Or at least someone with guts?

“I think it’s terrible. This is not the kind of tone that any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent,” Cornyn said

Right. Let’s all get some manners as the venom-spouting, supercilious, SUPER RICH WEALTHY leftocrats march all their enemies into the ideological boxcars....

Not to put too fine a point on the matter, but by what criteria has “Hispanic” become a race? What is the definitive characteristic that defines “Hispanic?” Consider the wide ranging socio-cultural features that characterize residents of Caribbean islands, various Central and South American nations, etc, and of course the Mexicans, many of whom are racially derived in varying degrees from ancient “Indian” tribes, all of them lumped together as “Hispanic” for no better reason than their linguistic commonality.

The Republicans are a bunch of spineless, weak-willed cowards (at best).

What’s worse is that it’s (ugh) Newt Gingrich who now is publicly saying things like this, and no one else will.

Newt sure is on TV a lot lately, pontificating on just about every subject....It’s pretty obvious that he’s putting himself out there as a potential presidential candidate (...shudder...).

"This is not the kind of tone that any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent," Cornyn said.

I've always liked Sen. Cornyn, but he is extremely slow on the uptake on this one, and I'm disappointed.

The Dems set "the tone" a long time ago. The Republican problem has been, and still is, how to respond to them.

Sen. Cornyn didn't have a bit of trouble speaking out very forcefully against fellow Republicans who are pointing out what this SCOTUS appointee has said, and calling it what it is. Sen. Cornyn no doubt would have been quick to call it what it is if a Republican had said it. Why is he so quick to condemn two Republicans who "aren't elected officials", yet he is very willing to accept the "tone" of this woman who would take that attitude onto the SCOTUS?
