White House press secretary Robert Gibbs issued a pointed warning to opponents of Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s Supreme Court nomination Wednesday, urging critics to measure their words carefully during a politically charged confirmation debate.
“I think it is probably important for anybody involved in this debate to be exceedingly careful with the way in which they’ve decided to describe different aspects of this impending confirmation,” Gibbs said.

That is a threat.
“Y’all have NO idea where this finger has just been!”
Schumer started this crap. We are to hold our tongues or suffer the consequences.
I’ve never been one to cower in the face of threats.
JUST LIKE FREE REPUBLIC!!!!!
In 2001, then-White House press secretary Ari Fleischer drew criticism in the press for suggesting Americans “need to watch what they say” in the overheated aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
So the above is the last paragraph in the article. Somebody splain what it has to do with anything.
Which dunce is the finger pointed at — Obama or dodomayor.
The judge is a legal dunce.
That is a political threat.
we can just use her own words and decisions,
thats plenty
What does he have to worry about? The Republicans are going to bend over and won’t even ask for a reach around.
here's two careful words for ya... La Raza
Perhaps they’ll dive-bomb us again with Air Force One.
good luck with the spineless pubs
Fox Uniform, Skippy.
Colonel, USAFR
Go f yourselves I’m getting real sick of this.
Stuff it Gibbs. She’s an activst Judge who has spouted rascist, judicial activist dogma, and whose ruling on the Firemen is a travesty. Just the kind of nomination I would expect from the marxist ideolog Obama...but not someone who should be allowed anywhere near the Supreme Court in any sane and reasonable reading of qualification and demeanor for that court.
I've got a pretty good idea. The same place your head's been - right up your boss' *(%&^.

Well....I just asked a question during the Senate Hearings of So-what's her name...and WHAM!!! THE O-IRS swooped out and decended in a vengence upon me!!
My initial reaction is to tell “the white house” to get &%$#ed ... but since when do the Democrats need to warn Republicans to act like spineless pussies who can’t stand up for their own principles while having racist socialists ride over them ...
F___ off, you metro-putzes. The didn’t treat Clarence Thomas or Miguel Estrada that way. To hell with being nice to these people. I say antagonize at every chance.
