How such mediocrity got to the court is beyond me.
Of course, she was selected by perhaps the most mediocre president EVAH.
Just wait until Kagan starts joining in. Can you impeach a Supreme?
How can this be true?? The media ASSURED US that Sotomayor was a MODERATE.
The MSM wouldn’t lie to us, would they?
She has proven even worse than her predecessor. I can only take comfort in the fact that she has nil influence on the other justices.
The US Constitution is supposed to guide the court.
The Supreme Court’s function is not to MAKE LAW but to interpret existing law as it applies to the Constitution.
Liberals on the court must recognize that fact or they do a grave disservice to the country and the American people.
In fact, doing otherwise is treasonous.
There is no place on the Supreme Court for activist liberal judges.
We are a nation of laws and God given rights and freedoms as guaranteed in our Constitution.
Yeah that was some fear, man.

LIBERALS DON’T CARE ABOUT THE COUNTRY OR IT’S PEOPLE! We are too stupid to know what’s good for us. Just ask the Obamabots!
On the one hand, ugh. Such a mediocre mind, shackled all the more by leftist knee-jerking.
On the other hand, Obama’s laziness helped us a dodge a bullet. He wanted the two for one (Hispanic woman) and he wanted the safe shot of a Circuit Judge with double Ivy credentials and no history of worrying private sector or criminal defense clients. If he’d have been willing to take any risk at all — a white woman, a Hispanic man, a Hispanic woman not on the Court of Appeals — he’d have had dozens of better choices. As is, Sotomayor will hardly ever persuade Kennedy, and sometimes she’ll even lose Breyer or Kagan (not on social conservativism issues, but on other issues of importance).

An affirmative action justice appointed by an affirmative action pres__ent. How fitting.
It is altogether too probable that we now have a 5 to 4 Supreme Court favoring the Fundamental Transformer.
Yes
This is just the Times signalling its followers to praise the divorced hispanic whenever possible, and to cast her writings as divine wisdom.
That's not what the Wise Latina told us.
a law firm would not hire her to be a receptionist
Yes, you can impeach a justice, and it should be on the table in 2013. Violation of the oath, and adherence to anti-constitutional principles should qualify as high crimes. Treason, in fact.
One justice will have to die before the left has a working majority. They are considering ways to make that happen. Their window is closing.
I pray every morning against her and Kagan...That God would tie the hands of the crafty that their schemes would not succeed.
There was only a brief statement of the case in question. I agreed with sotomyer.
