Hopefully the Senate Republicans can make some hay of this.

Heh, I would love to hear Sotomayor’s answer to this question at her hearing:

The Supreme Court found that there had been discrimination and there was a violation of Title VII in the Ricci case, would you care to comment?

under Obama…I’m going to cry forever.

…the genius of this Wise Latina Woman.

she’s an affirmative action pick.

Sonia Soutemayor is the most racist, sexist Judge in modern times. The fact that Obama wants her as SCOTUS tells me all I need to know about him. I think Obama is a racist too, because he fired Rick Wagoner and Gerald Walpin, both whites, without following the necessary steps to fire them. Just my opinion.

I was concerned that SCOTUS would uphold Sotomayor’s decision because they would want her easily confirmed. I was wrong, and I am VERY happy to say so. Anyone who couldn’t see this case was pure discrimination had to be blind. Finally SCOTUS made the right decision.

Folks here might get a kick out of this Onion-style parody, which satirizes the basis for Judge Sotomayor’s lower court decision, which the Supreme Court reversed: http://optoons.blogspot.com/2009/04/lawyers-advise-fire-departments-to.html

Now, if the president can manage to stay off TV, and keep his mouth shut, I may have a most excellent day!

dissing a members Court decision. After all “wise Latina women” know things dumb males don’t. Throw them Arizona as a consolation and promise them a couple of free riots in our streets.

The Ginsburg opinion should stand as a permanent monument to the almost inexpressible ugliness of liberal judicial corruption.
The “no vested interest” part and the no harm done stance is vomitous
in it’s exposure of the corrosive and unhinged desire to rule and order as you will with no concern for law , only the exercise of arrogant will.

The lady has some explaining to do and so does Leahy.

would have made a difference to the Cap & Trade vote on Friday?

Do you think Republicans that side with left causes will get a clue?

As noted above she is one of the 4.

But, besides the actual decision, it shows her complete lack of thought on constitutional issues. She saw white guys and dismissed them out of hand. It never entered her mind that there were important constitutional arguments — on either side — that could be made. She had no desire to craft a thoughtful decision to support her viewpoint. That is my major problem with her.

Dislike Ginsburg and Stevens, but they at least try to justify their positions. Scalia and Kennedy do it for their positions (I prefer Kennedy’s well-laid out opinions to Scalia). ANY Supreme Court justice should be able to write a decent opinion with just a little thought and effort.

The fact that Sotomayor cannot even attempt to write an opinion on such an important issue as discrimination exposes her shallow intellect. “White = bad” what more does she need to say?

The questioning must go to this point, repeatedly. Just as Thomas’ questioning all centered around an incident THAT NEVER BLOODY HAPPENED, so should her questioning center around the opinion she could have but didn’t write.

Well, I’m happy that the sane side won, but any decision authored by that pompous, Constitutionally-challenged gas-bag will

• be needlessly complex
• be unhelpful to lower courts in the future wanting to adhere to the ruling
• leave the larger matters unsettled, meaning it’ll have to be revisited some time in the future

I so don’t look forward to hearing the particulars of this one unwrapped in the near future.

That wise Latina woman had made a poor decision.

Socialism doesn’t work. It looks nice on paper, but it’s been tried and it’s failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).

Sotamayor is not one of them.

really… I’ve always known there were a good degree of folks asleep and the switch and looking to pull the JackAss lever so they could claim to “Care” and then go back to coasting by…. But I’ve gotta tell ya with the last Election I practically wept because of the realization that these folks are beyond lazy and asleep and just plain DUMB! Time goes by post election and we get more and more insult upon insult coming out of DC and so many Americans just prove they are just beyond STUPID! That Baracklash may not be coming, I fear for my Country really for the First Time! The SoSo purely Racist/Classism/Sexism appointment, and that many will still fall for it and say “sure, let’s let someone who just had their hand slapped for stupidity in a ruling” by the existing SCOTUS be seated upon it. There are a whole lotta folks that deserve the pain the have coming to them, but the trouble (of course) is that the rest of us have to suffer too for their stupidity (it is no longer a question of Ignorance, but wanton desire to remain Deaf, Dumb, and Blind).
