Sotomayor is revealing herself to be the most liberal, most radical justice ever......perfectly in-keeping with the man who nominated her.

How such mediocrity got to the court is beyond me.

Of course, she was selected by perhaps the most mediocre president EVAH.

Just wait until Kagan starts joining in. Can you impeach a Supreme?

How can this be true?? The media ASSURED US that Sotomayor was a MODERATE.

The MSM wouldn’t lie to us, would they?

She has proven even worse than her predecessor. I can only take comfort in the fact that she has nil influence on the other justices.

The US Constitution is supposed to guide the court.

The Supreme Court’s function is not to MAKE LAW but to interpret existing law as it applies to the Constitution.

Liberals on the court must recognize that fact or they do a grave disservice to the country and the American people.

In fact, doing otherwise is treasonous.

There is no place on the Supreme Court for activist liberal judges.

We are a nation of laws and God given rights and freedoms as guaranteed in our Constitution.

Justice Sotomayor has completely dispelled the fear on the left that her background as a prosecutor would align her with the court’s more conservative members on criminal justice issues.

Yeah that was some fear, man.

On the one hand, ugh. Such a mediocre mind, shackled all the more by leftist knee-jerking.

On the other hand, Obama’s laziness helped us a dodge a bullet. He wanted the two for one (Hispanic woman) and he wanted the safe shot of a Circuit Judge with double Ivy credentials and no history of worrying private sector or criminal defense clients. If he’d have been willing to take any risk at all — a white woman, a Hispanic man, a Hispanic woman not on the Court of Appeals — he’d have had dozens of better choices. As is, Sotomayor will hardly ever persuade Kennedy, and sometimes she’ll even lose Breyer or Kagan (not on social conservativism issues, but on other issues of importance).

This is just the Times signalling its followers to praise the divorced hispanic whenever possible, and to cast her writings as divine wisdom.

I pray every morning against her and Kagan...That God would tie the hands of the crafty that their schemes would not succeed.

There’s nothing to guide: the four liberals are pre-committed before hearing a case. And too often it is five liberals, not four, thanks to Ronald Reagan and GHWB.
