Here is video of Sonia Sotomayor being confirmed by the U.S. Senate as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Her confirmation was announced by Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota as he presided in the Senate Session. Sotomayor was confirmed by a 68-31 vote, and becomes the 111th person to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. Sotomayor is the first Hispanic to sit on the high court. She replaces Justice David Souter, who was always a reliable liberal vote on the court. . . . . . . . (Watch Video)

The clown approves of the bigot.

Well this sure speaks well of the US Senate, run by a land swindler.

Ha!.....A winner of stolen votes ushering in a token, race category filling liberal who couldn’t win a seat for a position in any fair election. In my estimation, this is very telling of the mindset of our enemies.

How fitting to have a comedian announce it. Does this mean once the one is proved ineligible that she will be out?

“Sotomayor is the first Hispanic to sit on the high court.”

Don’t you love farce?
My fault I fear.
I thought that you’d want what I want.
Sorry, my dear.
But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns.
Don’t bother, they’re here.

It is said that elections have consequences.
This is one of the consequences.
Be prepared for more.
