When Sotomayor was appointed, some defendants' rights advocates, including Kirshbaum, speculated that she might take a hard line on prisoner appeals.

He said she's adopting a much different approach. "There seems to be real feeling behind these opinions," he said. "They give the criminal defendant's perspective on these issues."

So, when will Mr. Souter be accusing HER of "lying" in order to get a supreme court appointment (like he did with Alito and Roberts)?

God forbid....if barry has the opportunity to make another supreme court nomination...those weasily RINO’s BETTER vote no. I mean it.

Do we need to come surround the U.S. Capitol again? Cause I’m ready. My patience with RINO votes is wearing thin. We’ll march against them sooner than against democrats.

We don’t need feelings, jackwagon. We need laws.

The wide Latina can weep all she wants, but she needs to apply the law of OUR land.

Screw the criminal defendents’ perspectives, if they’re guilty. It they actually innocent, that’s different. But I’m sure all of these (or 99%) are just protesting legalisms.
