NRA Statement On Judge Sonia Sotomayor's Nomination To The United States Supreme Court

...she deliberately misread Supreme Court precedent to support her incorrect view.

Some would say she lied!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

It’s the reading by a “wise Latina.”

The NRA is incredibly slow in their responses to events but they aren’t a singlularly owned company.

True. Why does our side always wait until these things are a done deal before anything is said? Say what you want about the Democrats, but when there is an issue that they feel strongly about, they are all over it right from the start, and they don't let up until they get their way.

Out of respect for the confirmation process, the NRA has not announced an
official position on Judge Sotomayor’s confirmation. However, should her answers
regarding the Second Amendment at the upcoming hearings be hostile or evasive, we will
have no choice but to oppose her nomination to the Court.

Careful. One of her first acts may be to demand that everything be done in espanol.

If any of you gun owners are not a member of the NRA or another gun rights group, please join. There are strength in numbers and we need every one to help support the second amendment.

[Tzimisce]

Too little too late.

And the NRA is racist for not backing Sotomayar. :(

Of course, she doesn’t even speak Spanish, so she’d be doing it to “help” those that haven’t learned English (because, you know, actually helping them to learn English would be soooo “intolerant”).

[Danae]

Exactly. Libo-speak... mislead, misread, can’t recall, its all otherwise known as lying to the normal everyday people who call a spade a spade instead of allowing socialists dehumanize and decriminalize and otherwise tell us wrong is right.

Say NO to Political Correctness. It’s nothing short of brain washing.

[anniegetyourgun]

Yeah - that’s nice. I wrongly put my hope in the NRA to bring down this nominee. All are neutered.

[50cal Smokepole]

Thanks a lot NRA. You were right on top of this, weren't you? Sheez. Talk about closing the barn door.....

[Cboldt]

I'm glad the NRA is opposed, but I wish they would have taken the time to educate the public that the Maloney Court not only failed to consider incorporation, it also read the Presser case for the opposite of what it states.

If the public knew how twisted the entire federal court system has been, for decades, it would rise up in righteous anger. "Presser," says the modern court, "means states are free to prohibit keep and bear arms." That is completely FALSE. Presser expressly says that states are FORBIDDEN from such action, even if there was not a 2nd amendment.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"just wish they would have done this sooner, louder and more often"

Why does it matter? There's been no vote yet on her confirmation.

What they are basically saying here is that they oppose her. If they would have come out and opposed her before even hearing her testimony that would not have seemed fair to Democrat Senators. Now, the NRA have heard her testimony, come out against her and my guess is they are letting it be known that this will be scored on the Senator's precious NRA ratings. Democrat Senators like Conrad, Reid, Specter, Casey, Baucus, Tester etc.. rely on those A NRA ratings to help them get elected.

I'm an NRA member and I honestly think the leadership in the NRA needs a shake-up just like our government.

[sanchmo]

The second I first heard that she claimed this absurd view of the 2nd Amendment is the same second I started calling her Sonia Soto-Liar.

[1010RD]

Good analysis and correct. The dog that didn't bark gives the best clue to those conservative Democrats who need cover. Smart politics on the part of the NRA.
