ination to the Supreme Court made by President Barack Obama, the White House is surely gearing up for a strategic nomination and epic battle for the future of the highest court in the country. Obama needs to move forward quickly with a transformative nominee who stands a chance of success on Capitol Hill. Diane Humetewa, U.S. District Judge for the District of Arizona is perhaps the most likely person to advance through Senate confirmation during Obama's final year in office. Nominating her would transform the federal judiciary, bring Native Americans into the highest echelons of political society, and actually stand a chance of succeeding.
Who is Diane Humetewa? And what makes her a difficult nomination for the Senate to obstruct?
Judge Humetewa is a Hopi lawyer who began her career as a victim-witness advocate for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Arizona.

Yes, it does. I posted it exactly as it appeared at the original link.
Agreed.
I wouldn’t be shocked if 0bama nominated Kim Jong Un or Mullah Omar ...
I don’t care about a nominee’s gender, race, ethnicity, religion or any other identity component.
I care about the one quality that Scalia was described as - A STRICT CONSTRUCTIONIST.
I don’t want someone who applies their own unique perspective, experience, values or whatever. I want someone who interprets laws based on what the founders wrote and that only.
Ain’t gonna happen on zero’s watch.
Having a Native Born American as the tie-breaker could bring an interesting dimension to deliberations. Can’t see how the ‘pubs could get everyone to oppose the nomination.
In fact, patriot FReepers could probably do a better of deciding Supreme Court cases than institutionally-indoctrinated justices can.
3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition. - United States v. Sprague, 1931.
Advice from this guy? Seriously?

Demographic as a qualification. What bunk.
The court issues the left want to win are:
1. your guns gone
2. campaign finance (no one should ever be able to raise enough to beat Hillary)
3. unconstitutional scofflaw naturalizations blessed
4. plus all the other stuff remains in their trophy bag
Saw today that Diversity reigns supreme in Houston. They now have a Black mayor who has appointed a female Hispanic as interim police chief. If she’s also a lesbian that would be a real father in the cap of the city which is total sanctuary.
Hmmm. Would a Hopi support the federal government over reach after the federal government has violated just about every single treaty with the Native Americans? Will she support bigger government with the stellar record of how well the federal government cares for Native Americans?
Silly me. A liberal is a liberal uber alles.
Three words -- Gold King Mine.

Well, Trump Hopi Siouxs Cruz
I read the entire article and didn’t see even one word about her qualifications for the position. It’s all about the politics of nominating her. Pathetic. Liberals disgust me.
...left-handed, of course.
With a sinus condition!
Is L’il Kim still around? She was Arapaho.
Yes, L’il Kim was Arapaho... and very popular with the Utes.
