Congressional Republicans will carve out as much time as they can between patriotic parades, flag-waving ceremonies and church picnics over the July Fourth recess to hammer Democrats on energy, health care and the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
Still stinging from back-to-back weeks in which their policy messages were knocked off the front pages by sex scandals involving Republican Sen. John Ensign (Nev.) and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, House and Senate Republicans are hoping to use the recess to regain some of the footing they lost.

The GOP could have regained its footing yesterday had it told those 8 dirtbags, if you vote yes, you’re gone!
Is Jackie any relation to Dennis?
During her now-famous address at the University of California School of Law, Sotomayor concluded in her rambling, nearly incoherent prose: "There is always a danger embedded in relative morality, but since judging is a series of choices that we must make, that I am forced to make, I hope that I can make them by informing myself on the questions I must not avoid asking and continuously pondering. We, I mean all of us in this room, must continue individually and in voices united in organizations that have supported this conference, to think about these questions and to figure out how we go about creating the opportunity for there to be more women and people of color on the bench so we can finally have statistically significant numbers to measure the differences we will and are making." ...........
HER INCOHERENT WORDS SOUND LIKE THE POLITICAL AGENDA OF THE THIRD WORLD---TO POPULATE THE US SO AS TO GET THEIR HANDS ON US TREASURE........and I quote "to have people of color in statistically significant numbers to measure the differences we will and are making."
Does Sotomayor intend to assimilate into the US culture---or will she consider herself an eternal hyphenate? Americans are wary of these hyphenates. They setup an "us against you" Third World armed camp-----the end game is to sabotage our culture. Being Hispanic is not a criteria for seating a Supreme Court Justice. More is being made about her race than her actual judicial record.
Clearly, 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.
Sotomayor----and her crowd----are itching to decide policy. They fail to understand a democracy is based on three co-equal branches of government. That's grounds for showing her the road.
There is nothing in the US Constitution that compels US citizens to eviscerate our culture to subsidize the Third World's lack of self-esteem.
MEMO TO REPUBLICANS: Just let her talk at her hearings. Americans will be appalled. REFERENCE Sen John Cornyn (R-Texas) said Sotomayor should explain whether she intends to be a justice "for all of us, or just for some of us," at July 13 Senate Judiciary Committee hearings......and whether she believes in colorblind justice. In 2001, she said a "wise Latina" would reach better decisions than a white man...... Cornyn said it suggests a judicial philosophy that suggests a judge is better qualified or more likely to reach better legal decisions because of sex, race or ethnicity....."I simply do not understand that contention, and I would like to ask her about it," Cornyn said. Cornyn has also questioned Sotomayor's stance on gun rights, property rights, and discrimination. Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions criticized Obama, and argued that liberals are destroying the rule of law by picking judges who will bring their own feelings and politics to the bench.
“...between patriotic parades, flag-waving ceremonies and church picnics over the July Fourth...” Anybody else pick up on the contempt and cynicism the author displays for republicans and especially the 4th of July?
