Over the last couple of weeks, Obama has stated that he wanted his pick for the highest court in the land to have “empathy” and not someone who’s about some “abstract legal theory.” He wanted someone who is going to be “compassionate” in deciding cases, and implied that his pick should not just stick to the rules handed down to us by the founding fathers. There’s only one problem: that’s what the Supreme Court IS about!
The real problem we face is this: what the far left have not been able to pass legislatively — because the American people simply DO NOT support a far-left agenda — they want to impose on the American people through the courts. THAT is why Obama has nominated Sotomayor: to push the Supreme Court further and further left, to advance that liberal agenda.
As proof, you only have to look at what liberals feel about her: Sotomayor is a favorite of far left special interest groups. In addition to her record as a hard left judicial activist, Sotomayor has been recommended for the Supreme Court by none other than Nan Aron of the VERY liberal “Alliance for Justice,” who stated in a 2004 memo to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Sotomayor had “been through an initial vetting and fit into the criteria that WE believe should be the standard for any Supreme Court justice.”
BUT… the “Alliance for Justice” believes that the Supreme Court should be all about legislating from the bench and imposing that far-left agenda on the American people! And THAT is who Barack Obama has nominated to serve the rest of her life on the U.S. Supreme Court!
Just heard Hatch on Hannity, he sounds as if he’s going to hold her feet to the fire. Maybe he learned something by being booed at the Tea Party.
