This : "Every judge is trying to do the best that he or she can to enforce the law as he or she believes it is written."

Or, that : "The duty of every judge is to see that law is uniformly applied to all citizens without exception, in accordance with the intent defined by its authors and ratified by the representatives of the People at the time."

One is the voice of an activist ... the other is mine. If a law falls out of favor, it is the responsibility of We the People and our representatives to change it. This does not fall within the scope of black-robed re-interpretation. I would expect a "wise latina" to know this.

No activism here, boss.

Some just have the knack of reading invisible writing.

Oh suuuuure...that’s why lib prezzes love to make bench appointments...

Hey, PRO, hope you are feeling better after Sun night...
Had fun with the back and forth with you...
Hope you have a great rest of the week....

Might review her 2005 remarks at Duke University for possible relevance to these statements.

Actually, in the old days, those IQ tests were anything but racist. They identified students from minority and less than ideal backgrounds who had intelligence skills. It was a smaller percentage of the disadvantaged than from affirmative action, but they were truly capable.

You too FRiend, hey NFL camp is just months away :-)

[Tigerized]

Unh huh. And it’s purely coincidence that a “wise Latina” and Elena Kagan were appointed to the bench.

Out of ALL the qualified candidates in the country, THEY were the very best two picks base purely on their judicial accomplishments and objective understanding of our constitution.

Yeah. Right.

[Georgia Girl 2]

This from a woman who has the intellectual depth of a Pea Hen.

[Ray76]

The “wise latina”

[FlingWingFlyer]

The Kenyan’s contribution to justice in America. Holder, Sotomayor and Kegan. No wonder the judicial system has ceased to exist in this country and America is now a lawless nation.

[TADSLOS]

Says the wise latina who practiced judicail activism her whole career and still does.

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"Wish liberals would be honest about what they are doing."

They can't be honest, or they'd have been stopped a long time ago.

[al baby]

Not all people with high IQ know right from wrong

[Lumper20]

She definitely needed help. I highly doubt she passed the LSAT.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor: No Such Thing as Judicial Activism

Right because in Justice Sotomayor's mind, there's no such thing as the Constitution as the Law of the Land. In her and her Leftist friends' minds, the decision of five out of nine Justices on the Supreme Court are the Law of the Land regardless of the Constitution. Justice Sotomayor believes in the tyranny of the Rule of Man which, in this case, is the whims of five sitting Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court.

It's time for the American People to say NO to that rubbish and take back the Constitution, the Rule of Law and ONLY legal protect of freedom against tyranny and insist the federal government get put back in its constitutional cage.

The starting point right now is state nullification of unconstitutional federal acts and if a Convention of States can successfully ratify AND ENFORCE amendments that cuts out the huge part of the feds that is unconstitutional, even better. But state nullification needs to start NOW.

[RedHeeler]

Good.
