He had one last year. Cornyn beat him 80 to 20.

"I think it's terrible. This is not the kind of tone that any of us want to set when it comes to performing our constitutional responsibilities of advice and consent," Cornyn told NPR's "All Things Considered.

But it's O.K. when the Rats do it, right John?

So... Sotomayer IS a racist

(and a sexist)

it is just bad to actually point out the truth about her being a racist (and a sexist)

Many court rooms have the quote emblazend on the walls “We who labor here seek only the truth...”

Cornyn does not want the truth.

AmSpecBlog Sotomayor's Radical Legal Group Helped Kill the Estrada Nomination The

Spectator

President Obama's radical new nominee to replace Associate Justice David Souter on the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor, used to serve on the board of LatinoJustice PRLDEF (White House backgrounder), one of the racial grievance groups thathelped to sink the judicial nomination of Honduran-born Miguel Estrada in 2003.

Along with groups such as the Mexican-American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), LatinoJustice fought a war of attrition againstPresident George W. Bush's2001 nomination of conservative Miguel Estrada, a Honduran-born immigrant, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Democrats in the Senate filibustered the nomination and a weary Estrada withdrew from consideration in 2003.

Today LatinoJustice PRLDEF, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit,hailed the nomination of Sotomayor on the basis of her ethno-cultural heritage. "As the second largest and fastest growing population in America, with a large pool of qualified individuals to choose from, it was wholly appropriate for the president to nominate a Hispanic," thegroup said in a written statement.

According to the group's website, it gets some of its funding from George Soros's Open Society Institute.

Rush has more listeners in ONE WEEK than Cornyn had in his entire CAREER.

[csense]

I’m really beginning to despise these spineless Republicans....

[longtermmemmory]

Cornyn KNOWS Sotomayer is a racist, he just does not like people point out that Sotomayer is a racist.

He had one(primary challanger) last year. Cornyn beat him 80 to 20.

I'd bet good money that he wouldn't beat a mummy by those margins this year. He has shown what a worthless POS he is in the last year! He hid it before.

Sen. John Cornyn is what happens when Republicans insist on keeping RINO’s in the party.

But, what happens is that on any crucial vote or issue where they need to stand up; they acquiesce in favor of the Democrat party due to the lack of any backbone.

We are better off without them in the party.

“It is “terrible” that Sotomayor IS a racist!”

Seems that Corny “could” be made to agree with you since he said he disagrees, but does not refute.

"This is AREg land"

Wow...I hope that "ARE" country, the United States, is not not compromised by "ARE" illegal invaders who desire "ARE" way of life without having to do squat to earn it legally.

Some people are just too ignorant to exist...EPIC FAIL.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

""This is AREg land""

This is ARE land.

Too early in the morning...

[paulycy]

We are better off without them in the party.

At this point, yes, although they won't leave. For the time being they'll just continue to vote with the power of the moment instead of acting like adults much less conservatives.

We must assume that we will lose every single vote for at least two years. During this time we must vocally and visibly and consistently become the strong adult conservatives that the public respects and not the lukewarm socialist-lite, fearful go-alongs that the RINOs in charge are now.

If we don't stand up for our principles then they are lost anyway because of the administration in charge. Personally I see no downside to fighting the war of hearts and minds in full offense mode.

Starting with Sotomayor.

I am telling you that reid has pictures of this guy doing something that would ruin his career.

Cornyn is a shmuck.

He just feels emboldened now that he just got reelected.

I won't forget next time.

Even if it means voting third Party.

[supremedoctrine]

Sotomayor -racist
Cornyn-coward
It’s perfect equations such as that
that make each other possible
like sadists and masochists.
Whoever discovered the psychological link
and created the concept of ‘S&M’ was a genius.
The two need one another.
THis has now come to define large areas of our politics,
namely those ‘common grounds’ where the current Party in Power dances with the minority party, and where they come to an ‘understanding’ just who is “Boss”.

[Yardstick]

Well, it does get the notion that she’s a racist some publicity, at least.
