Hmmm, a future vote to give illegals the right to vote in national elections?

She’s got the Ivy League/judge qualifications. But I think she also fulfills Rove’s suggestion that the announcement is too soon and she’s probably not fully vetted. As an outspoken judge from the Bronx, I think there’s a fair chance some missteps or misstatements may come out.

If she gets confirmed, it will also confirm that the rule of law has went bye bye.

I guess this was the “moderate” he promised.

Well, look at the bright side. He could have stuck us with Deval Patrick or Janet Napolitano.

One, the GOP won’t stand up on its hind legs and bring out these negatives - look at how they rolled over for Ginsberg.

Two, if anyone opposes her, they’re obviously a racist.

Oh, and yes, I know that the chances are that as a Puerto Rican her Ivy League-intellect is rather an affirmative action intellect.
