Sonia Sotomayor’s greatest hits (with video)

Courtesy of our friends at Verum Serum, who have plenty more to say about Sonia Sotomayor. Not only do we have Sotomayor essentially admitting that she sees lawmaking as the purview of courts, but a speech given in 2001 makes Sotomayor sound like the kind of identity-politics hack that most people saw in Lani Guinier when her appointment in the Clinton administration went down to defeat.

Um, all of the legal defense funds out there, um, they’re looking for people out there with court of appeals experience, because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know, I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don’t make law, I know. Um, um — [laughter] — I know. I’m not promoting it, I’m not advocating it, and, I’m … you know.

OK another moronic decision from Obama. But what did you expect from the guy? We get another third rate rack appointed to government “policy making” post and she could be in their for life. We have reaped what we soed. Now I wonder if all the Romney hater like what they get with this SCOTUS pick. And we could get others. Yes Romney (or any other Republican) might have lost as well but he had a much better chance against Obama.

Do you really think Romney would have appointed a choice this awful? This woman is the worst of the worst. I don’t’ know if Republicans can do much about this.

Pound on the people you know who appointed Obama. Let them know how stupid and foolish their decision was. This is terrible news and we are going to get more terrible news from the California State Supreme Court in about 5 minutes

Only an incompetent empty suit would name as his opening pick for SCOTUS someone who was video taped saying they legislate from the bench.

We all know that's the way Obama was going to go anyway, but on video tape?

She is a sexist and a racist. She stated that a female Latina woman would be a better decision maker than an white male judge.
