Are We About to Put a Racist on the Supreme Court?
Freedom News ^ | 8/5/09 | Tim

Are we about to put a racist on the Supreme Court? It is virtually certain that President Obama's nominee for Justice Souter's seat, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, will be confirmed. But there are innumerable reasons why she shouldn't be. One is that she is clearly a racist.

It's not just her ridiculous statement that she could make "better decisions" because she's Hispanic. Her ruling against the New Haven firefighters is clearly based on race. While it is a good thing that the court she is poised to join overturned that unjust ruling, the fact remains that she based her ruling entirely on race and the effect that her ruling would have on racial groups. She clearly can't see beyond skin color.

Sotomayor is a member of La Raza, a group whose slogan is "For the race everything, for those not of the race nothing." She has by her continued membership supported this racist policy.

Sotomayor has made it clear that she has no regard for the U.S. Constitution. She stated that the Circuit Court, on which she presently serves, "is where policy is made." No, that would be Congress.

And Sotomayor is hailed as the person who "saved baseball" in her ruling against the use of replacement players. This was just another case where Judge Sotomayor exceeded her authority.

Oddly, she is supported by the same people who circulated a memo about Miguel Estrada saying "this nominee is especially dangerous because he is Latino." What a bunch of hypocrites! Now they are suddenly pretending to like Hispanic people.

Putting this woman on the Supreme Court is a danger to our Republic. Those Senators who vote for her confirmation should be ashamed of themselves.

Yes. But the good news is that she is a massively obese diabetic, and will be unlikely to have a normal life expectancy.

Careful!

I said the same thing (only nicer) a few weeks ago and O’Reilly used my comment to make Free Republic look bad.

Remember that you’re not just talking to FRiends here. Caution is advised.

How many slaps in the face do we need before straightening out these pathetic half wits.

“Are We About to Put a Racist on the Supreme Court?
Yes. We’ve already got several in Congress and one squatting in the Whitey House.”

That place is infested with them.

Absolutely. And wait until “los lah-tee-nohs” feel the rush of power.

Yes, we are. Thanks to my senior Senator, Lindsey Graham.

Graham was the sole Republican vote for Sotomier (spelling intentional) to get her out of committee. Without his vote, her nomination would not be before the whole Senate. Therefore, he OWNS EVERY SINGLE VOTE SHE CASTS FOR THE ENTIRE DURATION OF HER TIME ON THE COURT!

When she votes to take away our gun rights, it's on Lindsey.

In a word, yes.

Unfortunately, talk is cheap and no one can undo or hide away a lifetime of action in contradiction to her present lying words.

Just the thought of a duplcitous Supreme Court Justice makes me sick.
