If all eight GOP members of the Judiciary Committee stick together and vote “no” on her nomination, it goes nowhere.
Until the Dems change the Committe rules, that is.
Does the GOP have the guts to do this? Sotomayor is clearly unqualified to be on the Supreme Court.
The Dems skewered every SC nominee by the Republicans since Bork in 1987.
It should not be a matter of letting the President have their nominees, when they are radical, unqualified, and prejudiced. Look at the radical Ginsburg, who finally admitted that eugenices was a reason for Roe v. Wade, in her view.
Democrats are the enemy of freedom.
But during a Megan Kelly (FNC) interview of Sessions last week she asked the question - paraphrasing "If all Republicans on the committee vote no, then the nomination does not move forward, could that happen"?"
Sessions responded "I don't think that is true at least it is not the way the committee has operated over the last few years."
Just Damn!
I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know all 8 of the GOP members, but I do know they are not all conservative, a couple of Rhinos on the panel. I adore Jeff Sessions though. He’s been good to Alabama.
All 8 should vote no. A bumper sticker theme needs to be established and repeated, non stop. It time for them to eat their own crap.
And Ginsburg was confirmed by the U.S. Senate with a 96 to 3 vote."The Dems skewered every SC nominee by the Republicans since Bork in 1987.

"Democrats are the enemy of freedom."
The republicans are totally off base when they “respectfully” and routinely vote for dem nominations en mass to show non partisan “qualities.”
I call wrong big time on that practice.
It needs to go down in the history books that unfit nominees are voted against by Republicans.
If someone is nominated that could be described as in the next paragraph, they should be voted against.
They should vote according to the dictates of the constitution, and vote against any agenda driven activist anti-American, anti-Constitution anti-rule-of-law radical leftist nominee
It's pretty simple.
I bolded the only "litmus test" that our elected officials should consider in voting for a future Justice of The Supreme Court:
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.
