PROBABLE CAUSE FOR REJECTING JUDGE SONIA SOTOMAYOR (Ann Coulter, 10/17/1997)

HUMAN EVENTS ^ | 17 OCTOBER 1997

[fieldmarshaldj]

"A few more Senate confirmations of judges like Sonia Sotomayor and America will look like the inside of a Mexican prison."

Come to my neighborhood, it already does.

Nelson Castellanos was arrested in NYC outside his Harlem apartment, charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine. He was holding his keys and a white shopping bag containing about $10,000, mostly in $1 and $20 bills. That evening, pursuant to a warrant, DEA personnel searched his apartment and found over 1,200 grams of cocaine, six live rounds of ammunition, a .44 caliber revolver and incriminating notebooks. All this evidence was thrown out by District Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor on the grounds that the DEA agents had not provided the magistrate with probable cause to search Castellanos's apartment.

Sotomayor's the "Latino Grievances" nominee......every ruling from the bench will be ironclad to redress every latino grievance since time immemorial.

Americans will be paying with our freedoms......for those Frito Bandito commercials.

======================================

Wonder who she's communicating with? (/snic). Should be part of the nomination process----submitting her cell phone records and email messages from the date of nomination.

Sotomayor's now-famous 32 words: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Translated into white male-ese: "I'm gonna make those gringos pay bigtime for those Frito Bandido commercials."

Where it will be promptly deleted without being read...

I am sooo... tired of so-called Republican saying that we should not use words such as Racist or Liberal regarding this judge! If this does NOT tingle their aspirations to stop these kind of judges from election - nothing will. That of course means that we are lost as a country - We will have only one party to vote for - Liberal Democrats or Liberal Republicans... I’m just glad that I won’t be around to see the demise of America...

Only the non-politicians will say the truth these days - the rest are only interested in their re-election...!!

[BonRad]

I can’t believe I just read this. It seems like a parody.
Sotomayor is out of her mind. Am I reading this right in that she thinks mandatory sentancing minimums are the greatest tragedy in the legal arena? I caught Coulter on a Geraldo Rivera FOX show on I think just last night (no I can’t remember-just clicked it in and I suppose it wasn’t a re-run of a weekday show). She was on a quickie split-screen panel w/ Judge Antonio Gonzalez, the Mayor of LA, Rosie Perez. GR specifically asked her if she’s read the Sotomayor opinions and AC commented she’s reviewed many and spoke to a lot of legal technical language but it was the New Haven firefighters case that was all one really need know of. I’m sure she put it that way. Why didn’t she speak to this? Was this out by time of that taping?

This is huge. What quotes. Sotomayor is despicable.

[patriot08]

Sotomayor ordered the evidence excluded in United States v. Castellanos because she claimed a DEA agent had exaggerated his reasons for supposing he would find drags in the apartment

‘he would find DRAGS in the apartment’?
What? Drag queens in the apt? LOL

[BonRad]

oops- getting it -you see I’m tired- AC wrote this in 97.
She didn’t have a minute total in the GR show but would have thought she’d mention it.

I weep for my country.

Don’t ask me to feel sorry for the DEA.....

"...six live rounds of ammunition..."

A veritable armory. A mosque of firearms. LOL

[William Tell]

The article describes the basis for the warrant to search the residence after the arrest. What isn't described is what justified the original arrest.

If the quality of the evidence was questionable even after the money was observed, one must assume that there was even less evidence at the time the suspect was seen carrying a garbage bag to justify arresting him.

Deagle says -— I am sooo... tired of so-called Republican saying that we should not use words such as Racist or Liberal regarding this judge!

I say, Amen. We got into this mess by letting so called Republicans “find common ground” with the anti-American democrats. Face facts, the only thing anyone who cares about this country has in common with the current crop of liberal fools who run the democrat party is that we, for the most part, sit on a toilet to take a dump. Even then, the idiots on the left tried to force mini-toilets on everyone.

NO common ground, NO compromise, and NO more playing nice. They destroyed Roberts Rules of Order and replaced them with Rules for Radicals. That was a declaration of all out war on this nation, not a new approach to common ground and common good.

They destroyed Roberts Rules of Order and replaced them with Rules for Radicals.

Well put.

[Deagle]

You’re right... “Our” Republicans seem to think that if they just be nice they will continue to win election and hope office (seems to be a nice job to them). Either they start to be truthful and be factual or lose office is my ideal...
