well, there you have it - the gauntlet has been thrown down: the race-card has been well and truly played.

"...and won't impose his right-to-life views if he gets confirmed."

As she would impose her pro-abortion views on children in the womb everywhere.

This is exactly why I hate reverse discrimination - someone is unqualified based upon their gender or race. Nothing else is an equalizer.

Stuff it, you liberals.

"The court will then be made up of seven white men, one black man and one woman -- looking very much like a law school graduating class circa 1958. How is this reflective of the diversity of this country? "

Gee, maybe it looks like a law school graduating class of decades ago because, er, to be a USSC Justice, you needed to have graduated a top law school sometime back then.

... Jenny was hoping for a 20-something bartending lass with body piercings and dyslexia.

and btw, I dont recall any columnist saying something like "100% of Clinton Supreme Court appointments were Jewish. Is that representative of America?"

I'd like to know if Clinton nominated his 'share' of evangelical Christian judges!

"But since this court is the highest in the land, it should be reflective of the community for which it is interpreting the law."

Sigh... *wrong*

It *should* be composed of those who can best interpret/uphold the Constitution. The idea of having racial/sexual quotas is ridiculous.

If this woman got a rare form of brain cancer, would she want the best doctors available, or a group of doctors that better represented the demographics of the country?

The truth is that women and minorities do offer a unique perspective.

A Justice is not suppost to have a unique perspective, they are to uphold and interpret the Constitution.

"The 1950s is not a period I remember with fondness."

How old is this moronic women?

Was she spending the whole 1950s thinking "gee, I can't wait for the Supreme Court to make it legal to abort babies, so I can feel better."

I'm guessing she wasnt even born then. Here babbling is too ignorant, she sounds like a woman young enough to beleive the PC nonsense they stuffed in her head in College, and she was too naive/dumb to notice it was wrong.

I can see why she would hate men.

By the way, either this is an old photo, or she is having phantom memories of the 1950s.

I knew I would have to hold my nose no matter who Bush chose. I'm just crossing my fingers that Roberts, a staunch Catholic, will be a pragmatic jurist and won't impose his right-to-life views if he gets confirmed. The 1950s is not a period I remember with fondness.

WTF?! So, now we cross over into (not EVIL CHristians) but to Catholics with "right to life" views? Well, let's simply invent a quick time machine. What if it were the authors ass on the line with "modern day" views on life? What would he say then if his mother simply said "oops! f*cked up saturday night, this lil bastard gotta go!

Yay Mommy! thanks for killing me!

Nope, if his ass was aborted and he still had the ability to write, it would be "My Mom the f()(!^$ B!tch"...and he damn well knows it.

Abortion is nothing more than the safeguard for "I shoulda TOLD him to usea condom."

AND, ANY guy not married BEST be wearing a condom; else; you have no excuse.

oops! I broke..Nah, sorry, ain't buying that.

I can't wait to hear what she says when Janice Rogers Brown and Miguel Estrada are nominated.

I know I am going to get in big trouble for this, but I wouldn't mind a bit if the court was all male. Being as the founders were all male, an all male supreme court would be able to best interpret their original intent. Particularly when it comes to the second ammendendment.

God, please don't let my wife read this!

Ms. Hunter doesn't look like someone who would remember the 1950s in great detail...

Maybe she didn't care for Howdy Doody?

Her lack of logic and general poor argumentation makes a great case against affirmative action and quotas.

I mean, does anybody believe she'd be given column space if she wasn't a woman.

She is as stupid as a particularly stupid rock.

LOL.... for some reason, that sounds like a Blackadder insult.
