In order to get and hold onto power, Democrats have to lie about what they believe.

The “if a white guy said it” is deadly in this situation.

IMUS didn’t get a do over. Sotomayor disqualified herself. Icing on the cake is her flippant dismissal of the New Haven firemen case.

I hope the Republicans hammer her unmercifully.

Of course they lie. The media prints it.

As for Sotomayor, anyone capable of critical thought cannot buy the “I misspoke; I should have said something different.”

1. You said what you thought, you are stuck with it.
2. We expect you to write cogent legal opinions that have the force of law. You had better mean what you say in those opinions; there are no “do overs.”

Lack of precision in expression of thought is a professional disqualification for the nation’s highest court.

Too bad we don’t have a judge who considers herself an

There is no defending it. Racial supremecism is bad always.

“I am not a champion of lost causes, but of causes not yet won.”?

The above quote was selected by Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, as her college yearbook quote some thirty years ago. Because of its author, a few have attacked Justice Sotomayor as having “socialistic tendencies”. But, if you consider the content of the quote rather than its author, does it really suggest a socialist world view?

The author, by the way, was Norman Thomas, one of the leading Socialist politicians in the United States in the 1930s.

President Obama himself addressed the bubbling controversy.......asserting on Friday Sotomayor “would have restated” the comment if given another chance.

Her comment was part of a law review article that one assumes she saw and approved. Apparently she lacks the ability to accurately express her thoughts in writing, since so many other people (like Obama) have to 'nuance' or 'interpret' them to coax out the 'true' meaning. I think it is a justifiable concern that she has or will write opinions with equal sloppiness.

She’s a racist, sexist and socialist.

Appointing Sotomayor is like throwing
a 70-yard bomb on second-and-inches from
Elway to Rice one minute into the first
quarter.

There is no way to go wrong.

Trent Lott says somethinh kind about Strom Thurmond's run for president, and he's called a racist because of Thurmond's platform in the 1940's.

Dick Durbin (?) Said something nice about Robert Byrd being good for the country at any time in history, but he's not a racist.

Is there a pattern here?

Somebody should ask her what wisdom from her experience led her to conclude that the remark was okay to say?
