One thing that bodes well according to Nappy this morning- he said Diane Wood is a much stronger consensus-builder and would have had more influence on the court as a whole.

From what I’ve read so far- it appears Sotomayor is quick-tempered and idealogical and doesn’t seem to be a consensus minded person.

FURTHERMORE- and as a funny side note- the SCOTUS is getting ready to overturn one of her recent decisions ;)

I take it she was holding up Scalia as an ideal of judicial intellect.

Re-read your comment. Your meaning isn’t clear.

Why can't they show the teleprompters? Is it racist?

The Hon. Jeff Sessions is the man. An incredible and great Senator. I say that as an admirer from NYC.

Let me say folks, that you have idea how bad this pick is and this woman has shown the lack of judicial temperment you want in a SC pick. On top of that she fits the profile perfectly of Obama who would love to bring the big government, ultra liberal inner city view to the Court.

Food stamps, housing, racial discrimination, government paid abortions, this woman will be advancing all of this stuff as rights IMHO.

Not sure how she will do though in the hearings. No doubt the media will advance and protect her every step of the way. Diversity and all you know.

I question the "timing" of Obama's SCOTUS nomination.

It's a sure way to get the focus off of North Korea for now.

Sen Hatch was chariman of the Judicary Committee when she got elevated to the Appeals Court........

Snip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonia_Sotomayor

Many Republicans, including then-Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch and six other Republicans who are still in the Senate today, voted for Sotomayor’s confirmation to the Second Circuit.[19] With solid Democratic support, and support from about half of Republicans, Sotomayor was confirmed on October 2, 1998, in a 67-29 vote[23], and she received her commission on October 7.

Even the nominee didn’t need “Tele” as Obama does. I love how FNC always makes sure to get it in any shot of the President when he’s speaking. The man can’t speak from the heart because he doesn’t have one.

"Oh, 9 of 9 sitting SCOTUS judges flunk this test."

That's why we can't use the Miller case. Even our guys have a hard time understanding Miller and they probably own shotguns... : )

She's an idiot. She can't bring other votes to her side. Just like Souter (who wasn't much of a consensus builder.)

Kagan is about as bad as you can get.

Besides, she's 54 and diabetic.

North Korea’s shooting off a nuke, Iran is trying to build one, the economy’s in the tank, and the Federal government is taking over private businesses; but we’ve got a Latina woman nominee for the Supreme Court, so let’s party!

The MSM set this up as a tear jerker. They are saying pubs will look like asses if they fight this.

I was listening to Zero’s introduction speech on the radio on my way to work. I could have sworn I heard him say that the Constitution was written TWENTY CENTURIES ago. Did anyone else hear this?

The Move Idiocracy - 2006 Plot line: Private Joe Bauers, the definition of "average American", is selected by the Pentagon to be the guinea pig for a top-secret hibernation program. Forgotten, he awakes 500 years in the future. He discovers a society so incredibly dumbed-down that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
