What the Supreme Court needs is less of Sonya Sotomayor
and the other unlawfully appointed justices.

“All Of A Sudden....Seven Short Years Have Passed!

Before Obama there was virtually no outlandish presence of Islam in America....

• All of a sudden, Islam is taught in schools. Christianity and the bible are banned in schools.

• All of a sudden we must allow prayer rugs everywhere and allow for Islamic prayer in schools, airports and businesses.

• All of a sudden we must stop serving pork in prisons.

• All of a sudden we are inundated with law suits by Muslims who are offended by American culture.

• All of a sudden we must allow burkas to be worn everywhere even though you have no idea who or what is covered up under them.

• All of a sudden Muslims are suing employers and refusing to do their jobs if they personally deem it conflicts with Sharia Law.

• All of a sudden the Attorney General of the United States vows to prosecute anyone who engages in “anti-Muslim speech”.

• All of a sudden, Jihadists who engage in terrorism and openly admit they acted in the name of Islam and ISIS, are emphatically declared they are NOT Islamic by our leaders and/or their actions are determined NOT to be terrorism, but other nebulous terms like ‘workplace violence.”

• All of a sudden, it becomes Policy that Secular Middle East dictators that were benign or friendly to the West, must be replaced by Islamists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

• All of a sudden our troops are withdrawn from Iraq and the middle east, giving rise to ISIS.

• All of a sudden, America has reduced its nuclear stockpiles to 1950 levels, as Obama’s stated goal of a nuke-free America by the time he leaves office continues uninterrupted.

• All of a sudden, a deal with Iran must be made at any cost, with a pathway to nuclear weapons and HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars handed over to fund their programs.

• All of a sudden America APOLOGIZES to Muslim states and sponsors of terror worldwide for acts of aggression, war and sabotage THEY perpetrate against our soldiers.

• All of a sudden, the American Navy is diminished to 1917 Pre-World War I levels of only 300 ships. The Army is at pre-1940 levels. The Air Force scraps 500 planes and planned to retire the use of the A-10 Thunderbolt close air support fighter. A further draw down of another 40,000 military personnel is in progress.

• All of a sudden half of our aircraft carriers are recalled for maintenance by Obama rendering the Atlantic unguarded, NONE are in the Middle East.

• All of a sudden Obama has to empty Guantanamo Bay of captured Jihadists and let them loose in Jihad-friendly Islamic states. He demands to close the facility.

• All of a sudden America will negotiate with terrorists and trade FIVE Taliban commanders for a deserter and Jihad sympathizer.

• All of a sudden there is no money for American poor, disabled veterans, jobless Americans, hungry Americans, or displaced Americans but there is endless money for Obama’s “Syrian refugee” resettlement programs.

• All of sudden there is an ammunition shortage in the USA.

• All of a sudden, the most important thing for Obama to do after a mass shooting by two Jihadists, is disarm American Citizens.

* All of a sudden, the President of the United States cannot attend the Christian Funerals of a Supreme Court Justice and a former First Lady because of previous (seemingly unimportant) commitments.

All of a sudden, I am sick to my stomach.”

The only law degrees on the Supreme Court are from Harvard and Yale with Harvard dominating. Scalia included.

That works. I was thinking more diversity of common sense, so hopefully she would set the example and quit, so she could be replaced with someone that has some.

Son-Ya probably knows a black lesbian from Skokie who could fill Scalia’s shoes

Diversity already there. Black, Jewish, Hispanic, Female, Male, White, Lesbian.

She's right - the Ivy League lock on the judicial branch is very damaging.

They also own the Executive branch. The last non-Ivy League president was Reagan - it's been nothing but Ivy League asshats ever since.

Two of three branches of our government are completely controlled by former students of a few hundred hardcore globalist leftist professors.

Isn’t American Idol finally ending. How about putting those judges on the Supreme Court, they would be better than Sotomayor and they certainly know more about the law.

Of course it does.

Question. What percentage of white people is acceptable?

Selective history for the ‘Progressives’. It’s as if Robert Bork never happened.

No. What the SCOTUS really needs is pink slips. Let the American people decide how we want to live. The current problem with SCOTUS is that there is already TOO MUCH “diversity” and it always leans to the left.

They can appoint me. I’m protestant. I didn’t go to any Ivy League law school. I will exercise judicial restraint, and follow the letter of the Constitution.

But you might not like all of my decisions. Some of the current controversies before the Court I would have no problem dumping back into the lap of the United States Congress with the admonition that they stop acting like spoiled children and start doing their job as defined by the Constitution. It’s not up to the Courts to impose their judgments on policy decisions that should be made in Congress.

It would be nice to have a justice that could read a law and not rewrite in in their image. This country was not built on unpredictable political change like recently but steady work mostly in the same direction. Lately every politician has to pull the levers and push the buttons to their own end not for the best of the country.
