Congratulations on Senator Martinez’s race based vote.

[NeoCaveman]

Let’s hope she turns into the wise Latina she thinks she is.

[TheFourthMagi]

What is the complete list of Republican Senators voting to confirm Sotomayor?

[TheFourthMagi]

I’m sick of the war on white men. It’s gotten so that a white heterosexual man has to work twice as hard for twice as long to get half as far as anybody in a “favored” group.

Quite true. And why are white men losing that war? Because most aren't fighting it.

[Jim Noble]

The forces which support the Republic need +20 seats in the Senate, at least.

[Theodore R.]

Voinovich has always catered to Democrats because he believes in “democracy”, and he knows the fury of OH voters which cou8ld be unleashed against him, except he will no longer be on a ballot, some good news just from that.

[Theodore R.]

Toomey is trying to take the sting out of ethnic opposition to him — won’t work. Only Strom Thurmond was able to accomplish such a feat.

[Drill Thrawl]

And he is losing votes to get those votes.

[Theodore R.]

Wasn’t he a Rhodes scholar? Always corrupts them to get such an “honor”

[P-Marlowe]

first Hispanic justice

I guess Portuguese does not qualify for "Hispanic"?

[Pyro7480]

Uh, you don't remember the left screaming when Alito was nominated about the Catholic issue, or when they upheld the partial-birth abortion ban? Take this for an example:

[Theodore R.]

No, MLK was a class-based quota type person. HHH said he would eat his hat if the 1964 law was interpreted that way, but that’s how NIXON interpreted too.

[originalbuckeye]

My sentiments exactly. Everytime I hear how historic this vote is I think ‘yes, for the first time in our history we have a proven bigot sitting on the Supreme Court’. I think I'll send Zero and Harry Reid a couple of hammers and pair of chisels so they can remove the blindfold on Lady Justice. She doesn't need it anymore.

[Theodore R.]

She is not even smart enough to realize that the truly wise do not consider themselves as such. And so with her Senate lackeys.

[suzyjaruki]

Dr. E, I wonder how these percentages correspond to the total number of attorneys in the U.S.

Do certain professions draw certain idealogies?

[upchuck]

...a small band of Republicans joined Democrats in confirming her...

We need to insure these prick traitors do not survive their next election.

Bastards!

[Darksheare]

Unfortunately, if her record is any indication, she’s only going to become even more brilliantly STUPID.

[upchuck]

Treacherous Grahamnesty ping!

Ah, yes, the queer RINO, played by Pandsey Grahamnesty

  Lindsey Ping
  "Republican by day, Democrat by night."

  Add me to the list. / Remove me from the list.

[Ancient Drive]

comic relief.. rofl

[soycd]

>I love america, where a mediocre intellect can become a Supreme Court justice because she’s a radical racist of the proper color.

Don’t forget that she is a left wing loon to complete the quota.
