Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor wants to give jailbirds the right to vote. It's her opinion that the federal Voting Rights Act can be used to force states to allow voting by currently imprisoned felons.

Will white men still be able to vote in the future?
That’s the idea. Pass this one around.
Another story that only a tiny fraction of the State Run Media will report on.
Somebody nstart na list of her wacko decisions, statements, and philosophy.
That is absolutely insane. And what’s worse is there are people on “our” side that say that she’s a lesser evil, and we shouldn’t fight because it’s useless. I hate to be the bearer of bad analogies but this is akin to choosing to arm a murderer with a knife instead of a pistol, simply because less damage will be done. Meanwhile the rest of us sit back and wonder why we’re arming them in the first place.
There is no right to vote. Voting is a privilege. All we have is a right not to be denied the vote for a few explicit reasons, for instance race, gender, and age (once you’re over 17). If ever there was a good reason to discriminate between possible voters—and states absolutely can discriminate, just not in the aforementioned manner—having committed a felony is it.
If blacks and latinos are disproportionately represented in the prison population, that’s their problem.
Get her on unpaid taxes or an illegal nanny/housekeeper. Judging by Nobie’s cabinet picks, this WH ain’t all that when it comes to the vetting process. If Pubs aren’t afraid to dig, they’ll find something.
Folks, there is no grand strategy behind Obama’s choice for the SCOTUS.
He is a closet Marxist.
Sotomayor is the kind of judge he wants - One that will produce any ruling that is he wants.
This isn’t rocket science. She should be laughed out of the hearing room.
That's the best thing we could do. Let the Republicans play the "We'll withhold talking about what we might do, until after the hearings," while Freepers and other real Americans put pressure on Rat Senators from red and purple states.
Anybody got a current list of the Senate Judiciary Committee makeup, including state and party?
Perfect liberal logic.
The State Run Media was in charge during the hearings for both of Bubba's stooges. This time, the pajamas media will have control of the agenda.

Regarding Sotomayor's idea of forcing prisoners to vote, that be the first time most of them would have ever obeyed an order.
Apparently if they are felons...
Life is indeed precious.
To Eviliberals, the lives of the wicked are precious.
To Conservatives, the lives of the innocent are precious.
This alone should be enough to keep her off SCOTUS.
If (and that’s a big “if”) the media ever get this fact out, public opinion may turn against her. Voting is a privilege, not a right for criminals.
Well, once again this simply reveals that she is the perfect Obamanoid. The Democrats want felons to vote, because most felons vote Democrat—especially with ACORN to help them pull the lever.
Then there’s also the insane asylums and the demented patients in rest homes, two other favored groups.
The problem is this. Let’s say there’s a high capacity prison of 2000 people. If all of them vote, couldn’t they sway town elections?
This would be an infringement upon State’s rights.
One of her great attractions for Zero is that she's childless, so no nannies. Finding an illegal housekeeper is an option since she's been divorced since 1983, no Mr. Mom at home to do the cooking and the dishes. It would not be surprising if she hired fellow Hispanics of dubious documentary status.
However, the vetting process might have been more thorough than Bubba's was on this issue. I think that with her years as a trial judge, there are many hours of transcripts of her oral decisions that can be gone through. There might be an interesting divorce file on her as well. Divorce is not so slam dunk in NY as it is in the no-fault states.
Whats there not to like? She wants gun control, abortion on demand, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and she wants felons to vote. She is a perfect Democrat.
I thought they were already voting. All the dead voters just got checks back from social security. Thank you ACORN.
Hey I thought that was already allowed during the election for Obama!
Prisons are usually set up under some sort of “state institution” deal that does not allow the prisoners to become residents of towns, counties, etc.
On the GOP side, I'm looking for Senators Sessions, Kyl, Cornyn, and Coburn to be her chief worry. I expect Hatch, Grassley, and Graham to be total weenies when it comes to standing up for freedom.
But I bet she’d stop soldiers from voting.
Unless the soldiers were in the stockade...
Especially the PR brothers, eh?
‘Bread and Circuses’ is the cancer of democracy, the fatal disease for which there is no cure. Democracy often works beautifully at first. But once a state extends the franchise to every warm body, be he producer or parasite, that day marks the beginning of the end of the state. For when the Plebs discover that they can vote themselves bread and circuses without limit and that the productive members of the body politic cannot stop them, they will do so, until the state bleeds to death, or in its weakened condition the state succumbs to an invader - the barbarians enter Rome.... Mine was a lovely world till the parasites took over.

Republican asks tough question.
Sotomayor's answer: Well I don't want to prejudge that.
Republican asks us for money to fight the nomination then votes to confirm her anyway. ...
2 years later Republican says we have no choice but to vote for them or else there will be nobody to fight Obama.
You got that.
and i agree with you and this particular form of “social justice” has invaded the Department of Motor Vehicles in many states;espcially those known as sanctuary states where no documentation is needed-AND these illegals in many states especially on the Eastern Seaboard will check some sort of box about the MotorVoter Registration- I’ve smelled ACORN in this for many years as Maryland is considered a sanctuary state but i’ll bet ya’ a dime to dolla’ LaRaza washes the other hand of ACORN.
What good are the ones that don't?
BTW, welcome to FreeRepublic, n00bie.
Only if they are married to other white men /s
As long as they vote mostly democrat even dead people are counted!
Well, of course, felons would be her natural constituency.
Personally, I’m thrilled that Obummer has nominated an overweight, insulin dependant New Yawker. She probably won’t outlive David Souter.
But it won't. They are all spineless drones.
Charlie Crist must be pleased with her.

Under Sotomayer the prison population will be way down since the criminal justice system clearly discriminates against people of color.
Expect a change in crack cocaine laws since they adversely impact minorities. I mean why should the penalties for crack (minority drug) be different than for blow (rich white man drug)?
This is the wisdom we will see from a Latino woman who clearly has superior judgement than a white male.
Under the Judiciary Committee rules if no Republican votes for her, the nomination can NOT go to the floor.
It is up to the Republican committee members to stop her. But it doesn’t look like they have the ‘cajones’ to do it to a Latino woman Obama nominee who is unfit for office.
Put pictures of murderous gangsters (all races, but don't be afraid to use "minorities") on the TV along with their names, crimes, and the names of their victims and say “Sonia Sotomayo and the Democrats want this person to vote. I wonder what his victims would say about that?"
"These victims can no longer speak for themselves , but don't let their murderers silence them. Call 1-800-xxx-yyyy and tell you Senators, Representatives, President Obama, and Sonia Sotomayor what you think of this plan.”
Keep it up 24/7 until 2010. Its not like there is any shortage of material.
Also, when we fight health care rationing, we can pound it home that the government wants people like her to -— DIE!
Not straight white men. Only the other kind.
