Obama nominates Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court

[graywolf]

BHO has announced that Sonia Sotomayor will be his nominee for the Supreme Court.  Go to www.heritage.org to read up on Sotomayor's backround.  Sotomayor has made some glib comments in the past regarding the "setting of policy" from the bench as opposed to interpreting the Constitution as written.

Of course she did, you didn't expect BHO to nominate someone who actually BELIEVES in our founding documents did you?

Fortunately this is just one socialist POS replacing another socialist POS and will not effect the make up of the court.
Pray for the health of the more Conservative Justices.

This is a quote from the inet story announcing her nomination  FWIW...

At her Senate confirmation hearing more than a decade ago, she said, "I don't believe we should bend the Constitution under any circumstance. It says what it says. We should do honor to it."

Are their any attractive people on the left?  

Geez....

I know, shallow, but come on!  Can't we have one justice that looks like Cindy Crawford or maybe Laura Ingram?

I say we still flex our muscles and make a huge stink on this one. Maybe, just maybe, bho will think twice before his next appointment.

I know, not likely, but hope springs eternal.

PS: Am I the only one who thinks this nomination is both sexist and racist?

This pick could be just smoke and mirrors and a litmus test to see what the GOP congressman will let him get away with.  His track record of getting it right the first time ain't too good...

Nope!

Agreed, but lets do remember that Clarence Thomas was the most quailfied guy for the job (if you were only looking for black conservatives). This is after all a political appointment, and her appointment won't change the balance on the court.

That's been the problem with these appointments for the last 70 years.  They ARE politacal and it is no longer about the Law or the Constitutionality of the Law.

He's already looking to 2012 and this just helps solidify voting blocks...IMO...

Personally, I don't care about her gender, race or politics.  I care about her ability to not re-interpret the Constitution.
