Sonia Sotomayor Sworn-In As Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court - Video 8/8/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 8, 2009 | BrianinMO

Here is video of Sonia Sotomayor being sworn-in today as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. She will be "invested as a member of the Court" on September 8 in a special session of the Supreme Court. But the swearing-in today allows her to begin her work as an Associate Justice.

Sotomayor took the oath with her mother holding a Bible and her brother standing beside her. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the Oath, holding the text of the oath in his hands. . . .(Watch Video)

Daytime court TV’s, “Judge Sonia” comes to the U.S. Supreme Court. Expect a lot of wacky moments.

So racism is now A-OK in the public square. That is how I see it, considering an openly racist is now sitting on the SCOTUS. That would be a proof that the US Senate and the President see racism as a good demonstration of character and qualification.

Of course, since Sotomayor also believes that judges make law, and that ruling based on feelings as opposed to ruling by the “rule of law” is the way to go - the US Constitution is dead.

There goes the neighborhood, or here comes the “hood”
or both.

Hope I’m wrong.

“What a racist comment!! ;-)

Sorry...it was meant to be an insult to the personally self destructive, careless and stupid fool who has a long term history of disease and that should be scrupulous about her personal health and hygiene and completely ignores it...and is about to take a wide seat on the bench of the SCOTUS...where a careful exercise of judgement should be required...I guess it was more “fatist” than racist...but point well taken, I will be more careful to be PC...

Bleh. A blatant racist added to the SCOTUS. How pathetic. And Lindsey Gramnesty(and other RINOs) gave her a “yes”. Why? To tee off those who voted for him? He just wants to be pals with the enemy as they all mingle in the DC cesspool.

Uh, it seems Gramnesty was the only RINO to vote for this wide load of liberal crap named Sotomayor. One guy defected, just Lindsey. Maybe he’s angry his parents gave him a girly name and he wants attention.

Voinobitch and Mel Martinez, Alexander also voted yes. The Maine women are not even RINO’s, they are liberal dems if you look at their record.

If I were a black/white male justice on this court, I’d always stay as far away from Sotomayor as I can. I’d always make sure that there was another “disinterested” party in the room when I did need to have contact with her. Premonition. This is going to get ugly.

Don't forget her reliance on foreign law to make decisions.

How many times do we need to hear that she is a Latina? It is about like Kerry serving in Vietnam..

Thanks. I got bad info after I posted that Gramnesty and others voted yes. I read a newer article which said Gramnesty was the sole repub defector. That just didn’t seem right. Thanks for the correct info.

I was watching something on Fox when they interrupted to show her taking the oath. I was shocked and surprised that she took the oath in English. What is she, ashamed of her heritage all of a sudden?

My comment was meant to be a good natured jab.I wasn't certain whether yours was a typo or not ("s" is,after all,right next to "d" on the keyboard) but either way it was pretty clever IMO.There's no need to be "PC" on my account! ;-)

She will rule in ways that subvert the Constitution.

Thus, any Senator who voted for her confirmation has committed treason and is unworthy of holding elected office.
