Republican senators raised new questions Tuesday morning about Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's work with a Puerto Rican legal advocacy group, citing its stance on abortion.
The Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF) argued against parental notification for minors seeking abortions, writing in a 1980 legal brief that "just as Dred Scott v.

“Only in the case of Santeria beads,” she wrote, “does the failure to wear them, according to plaintiffs’ beliefs, result in negative and possibly irreversible life consequences for the practitioner.”
Bad karma, man.
Yep.
She’s a dingbat!
Who’s taking odds on which republican senator will be the first to have a photo op with the newly confirmed Justice Sotomayor?

We don’t want Soto. She is a CINO.
That is just the newest version of Operation Chaos.
