Why not? There’s nothing left to lose at this point.

NRA: THIS IS A PASS/FAIL TEST.

DO NOT FAIL.

DO NOT PASS CONGRESSTRAITORS WHO FAIL.

THAT IS ALL.

If the NRA won’t fight this nomination, they will have lost my support forever. Sotomayor has already announced to the world that she does not see an individual right in the Second Amendment, and she does not believe that self defense is an appropriate reason to possess a firearm.

What more do you need to know?

It’s time to take back the country.

Obama and Judge Sonia had already thrown down the race card. I don’t really think that anything the NRA does can stop her being confirmed but the doofuses in the Senate. The GOPers are all facinated with Judge Sonia’s “compelling” life story. Besides, Ruth Buzzi and Roseanne Barr on the same Supreme Court bench could provide for some hilarious moments in Supreme Court history. Kind of like daytime court TV on a national scale.

It's a done deal.
Sonia could perform a late term abortion on the Senate floor and still be confirmed.

She is a liberal. She is replacing a liberal. She has the same political background of the judge she is replacing. If she were replacing a conservative judge, that would be another thing. Since she is a going to be confirmed no matter what the NRA says, then why waste ammo on her. The NRA is keeping their powder dry for the next next liberal that might be replacing a conservative one that believes in the Second Amendment.

The NRA is in the back pocket of Judiciary Committee Member and turncoat Republican, Arlene Sphincter.

Or is it the other way around. I always get that phrase mixed up.

Anyway, they probably don't want to antagonize their fiend....errrr....friend.

I talked with people at my gun club. Most will not renew their NRA memberships unless the NRA comes out FORCEFULLY against Sotomayor. The NRA is becoming a RINO organization.

What’s the point? Defeat Sotomoron and you get Elena Kagan or someone else with a brain who can convince Anthony Kennedy to side with Ted Olsen and David Boies on “gay marriage”, among other pivotal cases. Sotomoron can’t convince anyone of anything. She should have been a traffic court judge, and is totally out of her league and the other justices know it.

The NRA remains globalist, and will not fight a globalist appointee, no matter how bad their gun record is. (Souter, Bryer, Ginsburg)

It’s a forgone conclusion that she will be confirmed. The Republicans lack the cojones (Ask a wise Latina for a translation) to stop her. Thus one day, NRA lawyers will be arguing cases in front of her. There’s no value having her more pissed off at the NRA than she already is.

NRA are now political wonks. Gun Owners of America are the ones to support.

We don’t have the votes to stop the vote so everything is just posturing

This vote will tell us who to target for 2010/2012 elections. Use the heavy artillery for when it will really counts.

The NRA is smart enough to not waste capital on Sotmayor. It is a forgone conclusion that the Dhims will confirm her no matter what. Fight the fights you can win, not the ones you lose in vain.
