Obama Nominates Sotomayor to SCOTUS

From what I hear was they didn't have any black firefighters. Just one Spanish dude and a lot of white guys. So they didn't promote anyone even though many of these men were qualified and they has a postition to fill.

Typical liberal BS. She wouldn't even be nominated if she wasn't a Puerto Rican and a woman. It's the same as Obama. If he had been Barry Whitebread from po-dunk AL, Hillary would be the president.

You're such a beacon of wisdom, it's good to have you on this board...err...no...I was thinking of someone else.

You assume we're all on equal footing. I haven't seen the test either so I can't make an argument for it or against it. I will say this though, if the test was all physical the result would be different.Interesting take, I haven't seen the firefighters in New Haven so I can't comment :)

Perhaps but lets be honest, she is merely disagreeing with other judges and it's hard to imagine a judge that hasn't disagreed with other judges. That line of attack is easily rebutted and pretty worthless if you don't mind me saying so.Agree with you, not saying it's correct, but it will be thrown out there

The Constitution places no limits upon what they can or can't do beyond conducting themselves ethically.That's why Congress has the power to create legislation and the Supreme Court has no power to enforce its rulings.

this has to be one of the most ignorant things posted on this board

Coming from you I'll take that as a compliment. I didn't say anything that Bill didn't. So go take it up with him.

What a stupid comment. Let's see, Sotomayor: a) was a summa cum laude graduate of Princeton University; b) was editor of Yale's law review (one of the single most prominent educational accomplishments in the US educational system); c) was an NYC prosecutor; d) is a seventeen year veteran of the federal judiciary, having served at both the district court and court of appeals level.

The most recent appointee to the US Supreme Court was Samuel Alito, a white male. He also graduated from Princeton, and also went to Yale, where he also served as the editor of the law review, and also served as a state prosecutor, and also was elevated to the US Supreme Court from the court of appeals level. Based on your assessment, he never would have been nominated, but somehow he is a current justice.

Sorry to have scuttled your point with facts; clearly, your preferred vantage point is pure ignorance.

This country will be fortunate to have Sonia Sotomayor serving as a justice to our Supreme Court. Congrats to Judge (and soon to be Justice) Sotomayor.

Yeah whatever. I've been listening to the liberals. We need another woman! We need a minority! We need someone who will feel sorry for the gutter snipes.

Don't give me that crap! Like you're all offended. The last time I checked they spat on Alito at his hearing. All they did was sit up there and lecture the poor man and pontificate about abortion. The poor man's wife had to leave in tears.

Bush had a good education too, yet for eight years he was portrayed as a stupid redneck from Texas. I went to an Ivy League school too, and from what I see most of them are nothing but over-priced liberal sewers I wouldn't let my dog go to.

Oh, and that great woman thinks that she's superior to Caucasian men because of her race and gender, and the fact she crawled out from a NY sewer. So go take it up with her, because she's on record. Here's what I think of that sewer rat and you, Mr. I'm so morally superior. :vomit:
and that's from the heart.

OK trample, the ball is in your court. but wait, it must be the liberal medias fault. some way, some how

I don't care what the color of the ladies skin is or if she's a lady. Harriet Meyers wasn't my cup of tea either. The liberal media isn't totally at fault. Many American's don't do their homework and just accept what some talking head tells them and repeat it.
The Supreme Court is a joke, just like this government. Eminent Domain shouldn't be about bulldozing some poor schmucks house to build a Super-Walmart. Let's not forget that we were one vote away from losing our right to bear arms because these groups of clowns couldn't find it in the Constitution.
From what I hear we've already had a Hispanic or Latin Justice, Justice Cardozo. Since he was Jewish, of Portugese decent, looked white and wasn't an Indian, Mestizo, or of African decent than that doesn't count. Hispanic is a stupid term.

This is the socialist she quoted in her year book.

Norman Thomas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Thomas)

Norman Mattoon Thomas (1884—1968) was a leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America.

This quote her says more about her then any case.

Are you simply that stupid of a man? Or are you so f'ing lazy you can't even bother to look up the word Hispanic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic)? For f*ck sake man get your act together. Portuguese are neither Hispanic nor Latino.
