VIDEO: Sotomayor: Partial-Birth Abortion Case Is "Settled Law"

i’m not up on all law issues...(hey i have a family, a life, and i am not a lawyer.) but everything i have seen or heard about this lady makes me think she has been phoning it in while she has been on the bench. she seems to just go along with whatever anyone else has already “settled”. maybe she is not smart enough to actually read and interpret the law, or perhaps she just is not interested in doing so, but it sure looks like she is a parrot.

And Plessy v. Ferguson was settled law...until Brown v. Board of Education. You could not have a minimum wage or child labor laws...until another Supreme Court changed its mind in the ‘30’s. All of the New Deal exceeded any prior reach of the Commerce Clause, until another Court changed its mind.

When it comes to the Supreme Court, precedent can change, sometimes for the better, usually not. Just because there is precedent for something doesn’t mean it isn’t wrong. The Court has repeatedly revisited issues and found earlier decisions to be wrongly decided. It would be great to see the Commerce Clause cases rolled back, that would significantly narrow the scope of Federal government activities, but that isn’t likely...but it COULD happen.

I believe more accurately she said it is settled law until it isn’t. (As she said was all settled law.)

Why wasn’t she asked: Then how is the Second Amendment not settled law?

Also, don’t forget the 2nd Amendment/Joyce Foundation angle:

Senator,
A vote AGAINST Sonia Sotomayor will be a vote FOR principle.

Regardless of her testimony and responses, she is a dangerous leftist. And the argument by the increasingly silly and irrelevant Lindsey Graham that she is no worse than Souter is akin to a doctor telling you that your lung cancer is cured – but you have leukemia. I heard Graham remark that “The President has a right to get the people he wants.” That “logic” says that if Obama WANTS to abolish an elected legislature for a politbureau of his fellow Chicago thugs – which he is in the process of doing with his “czars,” — you should simply roll over, move on and let him have it. Good grief!!

Should you be tempted to vote FOR her to curry favor with Georgia’s large Hispanic population, you will be making a HUGE error in judgment. Thousands of them are non-citizens, here in violation of immigration laws and, in light of the recent idiotic Justice Department ruling that Georgia may NOT require voters to show ID, ACORN (or whatever they are calling themselves today) will drag them to the polls on election day anyway. And if you think they will vote for you because you supported Sotomayor, you had better think again: ACORN WILL INSTRUCT THEM VOTE FOR THE DEMOCRAT OR THEY WON’T GET THE PROMISED 20 BUCKS, PACK OF SMOKES OR WHATEVER.

VOTE “NO” ON SOTOMAYOR!
