26 Gun Rights Leaders Call for Sotomayor No Vote

Committee for Justice ^ | 7/7/09 | Unknown

[Revtwo]

In a letter released today and attached below, more than two dozen leaders of the Second Amendment community from across the nation urged senators "not to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the next associate justice of the United States Supreme Court," citing their "grave concern" over her Second Amendment record.

The individual signers include 14 members of the National Rifle Association's Board of Directors and Executive Council, including two past presidents of the NRA. Another five signers head the NRA state affiliate in their respective states - Pennsylvania, New York, Arizona, New Jersey and Massachusetts. The signers also include the heads of other leading national Second Amendment organizations, including the Second Amendment Foundation, the Gun Owners' Action League, and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

A waste of time with 61 Democratic senators.

The question is not, “will Sotomayor be confirmed?”. The question is how many Republicans on the committee will have the courage to vote against her nomination?

If I were a congressman I would not touch her with a Bang Stick.

This vote will stick to them a re-election time. They will not be able to hide from this.

Elections have consequences. Sotomeyer is one of them. The GOP needs to pick and choose its battles. This would be a waste of time IMO. The balance will not change anyway on the court. By the time Obama gets to choose the next nominee, the public will be so mad at the DEMS that the GOP will have more leverage.

Congressmen don't vote on presidential appointments. Only senators vote on them.

I already corrected this on next frame.

Sorry, new better.

I see this as a teachable moment. Gun-friendly Senators of both parties would be smart to take advantage of the opportunity. The federal judiciary has been abominable on 2nd amendment jurisprudence, and Sotomayor should be impeached and removed (so should Posner, Easterbrook, and many others) for their deliberate misconstruction of binding SCOTUS precedent.
