To call a blacvk woman a closet member of the KKK is ludicrous.
"has been excoriated as a closet member of the Ku Klux Klan who, at least according to the Senate minority leader,"
this would be laughable if not for the fact that Reid is serious. This from the party that lets old Grand Wizard Byrd in their party.
yeesh
she would be a perfect person to replace ruth bader ginsburg.
FR THREAD for above photoshop:
Must filibuster Justice Brown

These idiots are completely over the top. If Brown has problems (something I doubt, but for the sake of argument), then DISCUSS them. They would be reasons not to confirm her by majority vote, not to require that 60 votes be needed to confirm.
I'm disgusted by all this. Let's just move forward with the vote on the rule.
"she would be a perfect person to replace ruth bader ginsburg."
My cat would be a perfect person to replace rith bader meinhoff ginsburg.

She penned a dissenting opinion in the ruling in the Nordyke v. King and Great Western Shows v. Los Angeles cases in 2002:
=====
Alameda County might be able to prohibit gun shows on county property, assuming the property is located within the geographic boundaries of the county and subject to the county' s regulatory jurisdiction. (Cf. Great Western Shows, Inc. v. County of Los Angeles (Apr. 22, 2002, S091547) __ Cal.4th ___, ___ [pp. 4-18].) But the county did not enact a prohibition against gun shows. Instead, the county prohibited, with limited exceptions, the possession of firearms on county property. (Alameda County Gen. Ord. Code, ch. 9.12, § 9.12.120; see maj. opn., ante, at p. 2.) That prohibition conflicts with several state statutes that expressly authorize certain persons to carry firearms without restriction as to place. (See, e.g., Pen. Code, § § 831.4, subd. (b), 830.9, 831.6, subd. (b), 12027, subd. (i) [provisions authorizing non-peace officers to carry firearms in certain circumstances]; see also id., § § 12031, 12050, 12051 [provisions authorizing licensed persons to possess loaded and/or concealable firearms].) Nothing in state law suggests that these authorizations to carry or possess firearms under certain circumstances are subject to local restrictions, and if they were, then a person authorized to carry firearms who happened to be traveling across the state would have to consult legal counsel each time he or she crossed a county line or entered a city, a rule that seems neither practical nor intended by the Legislature. (See Sherwin-Williams Co. v. City of Los Angeles (1993) 4 Cal.4th 893, 898.)
[...cont...]
In short, we consider here a local restriction on firearm possession that directly conflicts with state law. The majority seeks to avoid the obvious preemption problem by the expedient of rewriting the ordinance to prohibit gun shows instead of gun possession. Alameda County might have enacted an ordinance prohibiting gun shows, but it did not, and the ordinance it did enact exceeds its regulatory authority.
=====
She was the only one of the justices to pay any attention to the pivotal argument on implied preemption made by Nordyke attorney Donald Kilmer.
Ouch, that has to hurt the libs.
California voters duly punished Brown for disregarding their will by returning her to the supreme court with 76 percent of the vote.
As liberal as California is, if 76% think she is good enough for their Supreme Court, she is good enough of the SCOTUS.
These leftists are truly evil. I hate them, I mean I really hate them. They are less than animals to me, they are disease. Everything I have read about her indicates JRB would be a fine Justice who protect ALL of our (all citizens) rights. The left doesn't want that. I normally think Ann Coulter is too extreme, but she's right, it's time to stop being nice to these people. I don't care if they're misguided or not, they are adults and adults have a responsibility to think, not just feel, like animals.
This crap will only grow if the Republicans don't enforce the Constitutional option. The only thing that Democrats will understand that if they persist on this type of behavior, we will drop the hammer. New rules should be set up in the Senate floor that time limits will be set for all filibusters.
Could be!
Nonsense.
If the Democrats want to filibuster, then MAKE THEM DO IT.
Standing.
On the floor of the Senate.
24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
The more they talk, the deeper they dig themselves.
Bookmark to read later.
Quickly will state Brown is my favorite front runner to be placed on the Court.
Ann Coulter is not extreme enough.
