WASHINGTON -- The nation's lawyers and law enforcement leaders gave Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor ringing endorsements Tuesday, even as Republicans tried to rally opposition.
With Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearing less than a week away, the American Bar Association announced that the 54-year-old appellate judge is "well qualified" to serve on the nation's highest court. The unanimous recommendation is the association's highest grade for a potential judge.
"The only way she can get derailed is if she performs poorly next week," acknowledged Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a Senate Judiciary Committee member. He said he was still undecided, but added, "I honestly think I could vote for her."

Let’s see:
Knowledge of Constituional law = 0
Frequency of decisions upheld by SCOTUS = 20
Liberal Minority connections = 100
Liberal gender connections = 100
That gives her 220% OUTSTANDING!!!! Good show Soda-Major!!! Good show gentlewomen and castrati of the Bar!!!!

Soto-mayoor can be rattled by good questions. The Kenyan’s weak and GOP needs to display some onions for a change.

I’ve been thrown in jail before when I know I wouldn’t have been if I wasn’t white. Sotomayor isn’t a good choice. Bad for white folks, bad for America.

A lie right out of the box - the American Bar Assn has no “law enforcement leaders”
The Fraternal Order of Police and the National Sheriffs’ Association have also endorsed Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. That’s what the article means by “law enforcement leaders.”

The question is, who will be the first GOP senator posing for a photo op with the racist after she’s confirmed.

If there were any doubts that the ABA is nothing but a left-wing front group......this should put them to rest.
