With the virtual absence of any objective review of Sonia Sotomayor’s opinions or positions by members of Congress, the Senate Judiciary Committee appears to be gearing up for another confirmation process with little substantive content. As noted previously with regard to the Roberts and Alito hearings, confirmation hearings have become little more than extended photo ops for Senators.
On this occasion, it will be the Democrats trying to avoid any difficult questions for the nominee and the Republicans demanding answers. The latter demands will be a bit awkward given the lack of probing questions or substantive answers in the last two hearings for Republican nominees. The “Ginsburg rule” remains the controlling precedent where nominees are allowed to refuse to answer questions in areas where they may render decisions — leaving the discussion at a meaningless level of generality punctuated with discussions of baseball and movies.
The Dallas Morning News was silent about her standing on abortion. It did indicate that she is a Catholic and this will just add one more to the numbers that they have on the court. I think it stands at 5.
She needs to disqualify herself for her racist statement(s) and anti-2nd Amendment beliefs.
The shrinking violet phase …
Of course, now that it is apparent Sotomayor is anti-abortion, maybe the lives of millions of unborn are more important than her being a racist gun banning reversed-on-appeal know nothing.
gunderson,
I am not Pro Choice or Pro Abortion. I am for Individual Personal Choices. It is not my right to play G-d with anyone. I guess you know better because your deity told you so.
Anonymously Yours,
Look at you, you can’t even make a clean determination of what is right or wrong regardless of there being a God or not.
I can imagine what the world would have looked like had there never been the Christian God guiding us……it would have looked a lot like Nazi Germany.
gunderson,
Guess you are correct.
So, does this version of the Christian God tell you these things directly or does the message come via a guy in a nice suit playing a bunch of rubes?
Strange thing about it is simply this: a world dominated by the Christian God, or any god for that matter, looks a lot like Nazi Germany. Theocracy doesn’t work for the same reasons fascism doesn’t work. Both require intolerance and repression, both of which can only be applied so long before an explosion happens. There is a reason our Founding Fathers created free exercise and prohibited endorsement and it was to prevent some of the stupid things that they had seen done in Europe in the name of state endorsed religions.
Your right to your god ends with the insistence you also have the right to force that belief on others. That’s a lesson both Christians and Muslims need to learn. If your true concern is ethical behavior, the topic can be addressed without resorting to appeals and threats from the Sky God. But historically, whenever someone wants to bring their God into it, it’s not about right, it’s about control.
Sotomayor is unprincipled and a fool in conspiring with the War Criminal Obama. Obama is an unindicted U.S. criminal in many crimes. Sotomayor and Obama are traitors to the American people.
Very well said Buddha Is Laughing.
I’d add that I’m sure gunderson can imagine many things that he cannot know.

Thank god we have the ultra-right Christian crowd to tell everyone how to think, what they should do, and when they should do it. Whatever would we do without them? Boy, things were a lot better (and simpler) in the 12th Century. I see you guys are trying to take us right back there.
BVM:
Under your logic Obama’s chauffeur is likewise culpable for war crimes since he/she was hired by the President. Wonderful world you live in. Do you see Alice and that big rabbit often?
Mespo and Buddah,
Good work in responding to the latest far-religious rightie to try to spread their “word” on Prof. Turley’s site. These are the same people who are in favor(generally) of capital punishment and have no problem with killing thousands and maybe millions of Iraqi citizens due to a war that was intitiated on one of their fellow born again Christians lies. Buddha, you comment about conrol is right on the money. Most major religions concern themselves with the control of the congregation, including their money.
Fr33dom:That was funny,and on point.
I’d add that I’m sure gunderson can imagine many things that he cannot know.
And Buddah,has it down,you know telling people to go to hell and making them feel happy to be going.
Oh and by the way,so much for “EMPATHY”

SOTOMAYER NEEDS TO WITHDRAW. SHE IS A RACIST, THE LEFT KNOWS SHE IS A RACIST, AND THE LEFT DOESN’T CARE SHE IS A RACIST.
LEFT WINGERS WOULD HAVE VOTED FOR ADOLF HITLER IF THEY THOUGHT HE WOULD FURTHER THEIR AGENDA.
gunderson meet BVM. BVM meet gunderson. The two of you have so much in common I would think it is a match made in heaven.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Luke 6:31, NIV)
“When they persisted in questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let the person among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” (John 8:7, International Standard Version)
Many Christian Fundamentalists (gunderson/bvm perhaps?) find these pronouncements of Jesus inconvenient, so they ignore them in their daily actions and political activities. That way they can support all kinds of hateful behavior and pretend to justify it under Jesus’ teachings. All they prove in the end is their total inability to understand the Gospel they preach. They are the worst kind of hypocrites and blasphemers. No doubt Jesus will judge them harshly if their view of heaven is true.
Finally gunderson, the existence of Nazi Germany was made possible by about 1,600 years of anti-Jewish rhetoric coming from Christianity, Islam did their part but not in Europe, where it was forgotten that according to The Gospels, Jesus practiced Judaism until the day he died. Read your bible. Look at history if you really want to be saved, because it isn’t going to happen with the path you are now on. To be pious, one first must understand the meaning of piety and humility.
Mary meet gunderson and BVM. I suspect you are all going to be judged harshly in heaven for your vitriol and for your inability to understand Jesus’ beliefs.
LOL!!! This is just more proof BUSH WAS RIGHT:
Obama argues to keep Uighers in GITMO
May 31, 2009
Barack Obama has decided to fight the release of the 17 Chinese Uighers at Guantanamo Bay into the US, Jake Tapper reports — and he’s choosing an interesting argument to use.
While Obama has wasted no opportunity to paint Gitmo as a stain on the nation’s reputation and all but the gulag Dick Durbin called it a few years ago, the administration paints quite a different picture of it in court:
The Obama administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court Friday to reject a request for a hearing from 17 Chinese Muslims currently being held at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, arguing they have no right to come to America despite a district judge’s orders last Fall that they immediately be brought to the U.S. and released.
Not to worry — the Obama administration says the Uighurs’ detention isn’t so bad, considering:
“petitioners are being housed under relatively unrestrictive conditions, given the status of Guantanamo Bay as a United States military base,” The Government writes, saying they are “in special communal housing with access to all areas of their camp, including an outdoor recreation space and picnic area.” They “sleep in an air-conditioned bunk house and have the use of an activity room equipped with various recreational items, including a television with VCR and DVD players, a stereo system, and sports equipment.”
Mike, you are an ignoramious and every post you have written that I have read proves it.
mary:
“Mike, you are an ignoramious and every post you have written that I have read proves it.”

Stop the presses!! We now have concrete proof that mary can, in fact, read. Not very well mind you, but another myth put to the sword. Read on fair mary, perhaps the wonder of arithmetic awaits you once you get over that reading comprehension and spelling challenge. ignoramious?

Mary
If the Obama administration is acting in a manner with which you agree, I’m puzzled as to how you view this as a bad thing and decide to come here and spew venom. If the President is taking a middle ground position between what I, as a fully paid up member of the radical left, would prefer and what the Nazi, Dick Cheney would prefer, one would think your reaction would be supportive instead of exposing your tortured logic.
gunderson
See above.
If she’s anti-Choice, she’s too conservative for me and for most Americans. If she’s anti-gun, she’s a friend of mine. I dare say her politics have been difficult to decipher and that will likely make her an excellent Justice just as she’s been an excellent jurist for the 18 years since her appointment by that screaming lefty, GHWBush. Your charge of racism is utter nonsense and deserved no additional comment beyond that.
Obama’s GM screw up:
Yesterday we passed on a new 2009 Malibu with an MSRP of $26,420 that we could have bought for $19,000 cash.
The dealer was blunt about Obama’s Government Motors not carrying how much they lost on the sale; Obama’s “car czar” orders are just keep some cash from sales coming in.
I am sick of bailouts for the Unions and will never buy another GM product.
Liberals have ruined Medicare, ruined Social Security, ruined Health Care, and are well on their way to ruining the auto industry.
Looks like Tiller won’t be practicing any more later term abortions.
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the highest-ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee that will oversee Sotomayor’s confirmation hearing, called on Republicans to stop calling Sotomayor racist during an appearance this morning on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham did express concern about Sotomayor’s comments regarding the ability of a female Latina to reach a better conclusion than a white man, and called on her to apologize for the remarks, but nonetheless disagreed with Gingrich and Limbaugh:
No, they interject themselves into the debate. They’ve got an audience to entertain. Newt’s a political commentator; I’m a United States senator… I don’t think she’s a racist.
rcampbell, you are being a incorrect about what you said Sessions said. I presume since you are a liberal you are doing it on purpose.
Sessions did not call on Republicans to stop calling Sotomayor a racist since they ARE NOT. They are saying she said a racist statement and he said it will be up to her to explain what could be a racist statement and Republicans should hear her out before passing judgement.
GM
“Liberals have ruined Medicare, ruined Social Security….”
Liberals CREATED those programs and conservatives have fought them since their inceptions. There would be no Social Security or Medicare if not for liberals. Do you think the costs of providing those services is stagnant while the cost of everything else increases? Conservatives have no problem with paying the increased dues at their country clubs, but rail at the notion they have to pay an additional tax to keep solvent these programs that have worked unfailingly well for millions of people at an extremely low cost/revenue basis. That’s hypocricy at its height.
“I am sick of bailouts for the Unions and will never buy another GM product”.
Such one dimensional thinking…. I guess you would prefer to see tens of millions of working people (union and non-union auto workers, employees of car dealerships, companies that provide products and services to auto makers all over the country, local businesses that survive on auto workers’ spending at grocery stores, dry cleaners, etc.) receiving far many more billions in unemployment benefits, welfare, home foreclosures….
rcambell says: “If she’s anti-Choice, she’s too conservative for me and for most Americans. If she’s anti-gun, she’s a friend of mine.”
I guess rcambell hasn’t read polls on either of these subject. Pick your pollster, rcampbell, whomever it is they say you are WRONG on both counts.
rcampbell, you sound like you would be happier in a Communist country. I will gladly help pay for your ticket to Cuba and so would 80% of America.
rcampbell, who opened the zoo door and let you out?
Roll Call is reporting that the administration quietly announced that restrictions on lobbying ballyhooed about during the late campaign have been lifted.
Will the media notice? Will liberals care?
No & No.
Carl,
If I want to go to Cuba, would you pay for my ticket too? But I require round trip airfare for two, First Class and other accouterments and amenities. Thank you.
Nah, how about just the Money.
Obama’s take Air Force One on Joy Ride for a Date:
President Obama and First Lady Michelle had another of their famous “date nights” Saturday. Instead of clogging traffic in Washington, D.C. to visit a restaurant, they hopped on the Marine One helicopter to Andrews Air Force Base, jumped on Air Force One and flew up to New York City followed by TWO OTHER PLANES for staff and press.
Upon landing in New York several more helicopters, limos, vans, police, military and other staff were waiting to escort them to Blue Hill restaurant on Washington Place and later a Broadway play: ‘Joe Turner’s Come and Gone’ at the Belasco Theater.
Imagine for a moment the “news” media reaction if President Bush had taken Laura out for a night in New York with half the Secret Service, the U.S. Military, New York’s finest and the news media tagging along at taxpayer expense?
It’s so good to be King.
lone eagle,
I can thank the American public for taking out my candidate John Edwards. But you just might as well write Bush and thank him for creating a situation that elected a person that is not of your choosing or mine. And in that same breath you can thank McCain for picking Palin, whom I would have voted for after John Edwards, but when he was forced to take on Alaska’s Trash, was was when I decided for Voting for Nader. But I voted my conscience, can you say the same?
So, if you are jealous that Obama is entitled to be treated with every dignity that Bush was afforded, I don’t know what to say. If you are unhappy that he was elected instead of the candidate of your choice, I am too. I had to suffer with the Bush years and now this. But being American does have it privileges and that is your right to speak out against the current president and pretty much anything else too. For that you should be thankful. I know that I am.
With all of the above said, Respect the Office if NOT the person holding the Office and with that does come its privileges such as the Jet Setting that you now complain about.

Would it be better to contain them and allow them to breed and call in such the likes of Mengele to inquire as to how they work? The substance that they are made of the DNA etc. I realize its hard to believe but we would just need one as they have less DNA than a person from Arkansas.

“Liberals have ruined Medicare, ruined Social Security, ruined Health Care, and are well on their way to ruining the auto industry.”
GM Sucks,
The voting is in on the award for stupidest comment made by a troll in defense of the Republican’s who’ve picked his pocket for the un-ended year of 2009. Your comment above show the greatest ignorance possible and I believe that no one can beat it. In fact it may well be the stupidest comment of the decade.
What makes it so sweetly ironic (I’m sorry folks I know that irony is lost on this clown)is I’ll bet you, or a member of your family are on Medicare and Social Security. Liberals created both medicare and social security despite heavy opposition from conservatives.
Then Ronnie Reagan, you know that mediocre actor who was dumb as a post but could read a script, raised social security/medicare taxes, but put the money into other things, so that social security and medicare were underfunded. The people who you in your ignorance have voted for, are the ones who are trying to destroy both programs and who want to keep health care in the hands of the greedy companies who aren’t providing it.
I really get no pleasure for making fun of someone who is as ignorant as you are, but you really ought to learn more about the things you write about. Rush, Sean & Glenn by the way won’t teach you anything since they are just as ignorant as you are.
“Mike, you are an ignoramious and every post you have written that I have read proves it.”
Mary,
Coming from someone of your intellectual stature I couldn’t think of a greater compliment. Than you so very much for your kind words.
“rcampbell, you sound like you would be happier in a Communist country. I will gladly help pay for your ticket to Cuba and so would 80% of America.”

Your comments show that you have no understanding of the United States of America or its’ Constitution. That being the case I think you should leave because you are anti-American.

President Obama is playing golf again at Fort Belvoir. The print pooler and a member of the wire pool were left behind today.
We were waiting in the briefing room for the pool call — and have since learned that when the lights are on, the overhead address system bypasses the briefing room.
There was a lot of public tour traffic through the briefing room this morning and (you guessed it) the lights were on. The call went out, and the motorcade rolled.
JESUS CHRIST CAN’T THIS PRESIDENT WORK A DAY OF HIS TERM?
Anonyously,
Are you insane? Equating abortion with birth control? What the heck does one have to do with the other? One is murdering a baby and the other is using a method that prevents the fertilization of a human egg.
You ARE quite insane or just stupid.
lone eagle,
You are correct, I must be insanely stupid for answering this.
So if I understand you are for Birth Control, hummmm, let me think about that one, remember I am insane or stupid, so by definition I need more time. I got it, Bush or was it the far right or the moral majority or who was it that wanted to limit access to females right to birth control?????? Clinton, hell no, he benefited from it.
So, if you are for Birth Control, then by definition, these females going to the center would not have to have access to these centers.
So you get to play God, you get to decide when life begins and when it ends for most of you.
Anonymously yours is just another one of life’s losers incapable of making a sound decision or judgement based on solid moral grounds. He would rather stumble through life bitching about all the people that can.
In fact, he will now bitch about my posting “solid moral grounds” even though he knows perfectly well what I am speaking of.
Lone eagle – That was a pathetic cheap shot.Oh well, it is boring hot late afternoon in Dallas.
lone eagle,
If there can be such as thing as they generally mate for life the vultures that they are. I for one kinda of like the Jefferson turkey ideal and they came to mind Adam Sandlers Turkey song. But that’s a different ideal altogether.
You can’t have it both ways, abstinence or no form of birth control and then expect to make the birth control of last resort illegal. But then again the moral majority wants none of that thinking as it disagrees with their moral philosophy.
Hot boring day in Dallas, well yeah, it is hot. But never boring. It is always a pleasure to see you. Smom.
Actually it is not that boring. I have copper river salmon to grill. It finally came in at the Whole Foods.
Ya gotta love those liberals! They are always willing to munch on fish & animals others kill for them as they live their holier than thou lives.

Surely, you jest BUT talk about extraordinary renditions
ie ‘Don’t call me, ‘Shirley’…’
yes mike spindell,
the republicans have helped empty social security/meidcare and ontop of it in the past twenty years mostly in the past 10 there has been a movement of wealth out of the working class into the upper class which has been put in off shore accounts…
the idea is to make the GAAP rules work so that they can not take money out of companies or 401k’s for that matter…but that is an in depth subject…
mitt romeny’s “another testiment of jesus christ” is just that… i recieved a fund raising envelope from a state senator whose district i am not in but was interested in one thing he was doing…he has for the most part asked for 20 bucks or maybe a 50 dinner at a buffet type thing at a hotel in a large city…
but the fundraiser where mitt romney was the guest speaker it was to honor this state senator…but if u called his campaign he was thinking of running for comptroller of the state…but that wasn’t for sure
the amounts were:
Co-chair $5,000 – 2 attend Roundtable, 4 VIP Reception, Recongintion Board, 10 for Evening Reception
Sponsor $2,500 – 1 attend Roundtable, 2 VIP Reception, Recognition Board, 6 for Evening Reception
Host $1,000 – 2 VIP Reception, Recognition Board, 4 for Evening Reception
Supporter $ 500 – Recongintion Board, 2 for Evening Reception
Evening Reception $100
I WOULD NOT GIVE MITT ROMNEY A DIME OR 2 PENNIES…IN THE MORMON CHURCH THEY SAY HOW THEY TOLD THEIR FOLLOWERS NOT TO GET IN DEBT BECAUSE THIS ECONOMY WOULD FAIL AND NOT TO SPEND MONEY
YET, MITT ROMNEY WANTS MONEY TO SHOW UP AND TALK OR LISTEN TO REGULAR PEOPLE BUT AS ONE CAN SEE AFTER $500 THERE IS NO RECONGINTION…THE STATE SENATOR’S CAMPAIGN COULD NOT TELL ME FOR SURE THAT ROMENY WASN’T GETTING SOME OF THE MONEY
I REST MY CASE ON THE FACT ROMENY DIDN’T FLY OUT HERE ON HIS PRIVATE JET TO MAKE HIS HAIR LOOK GOOD
BUT IS IT PAY FOR PLAY…ON CHRIS WALLACE TODAY MITT ROMENY SAID HE WAS DOING FUNDRAISING FOR PEOPLE WHO HELPED HIM DURING HIS CAMPAIGN…
GIVE ME A F’N BREAK…HE IS GETTING MONEY FROM THIS EVENTS AND HE HAS NO INTENTION OF RUNNING AGAIN….HE IS TRYING TO GET BACK HIS MONEY…

I can’t take credit. It was suggested by that noted internet video critic, my 16 year old son.
Mespo, Raff and Mike,
The problem with troll baiting is sometimes the troll baits you.
That being said, that was entertaining as always.
Everyone,
As J.T. pointed out, the Supreme Court nomination process has become just a way for Senators to score points with their base. I just think it’s worth adding that it also has the advantage of being below the radar of the less politically involved segments of the populous so the politicians have little fear of alienating the moderates.
Here is what will happen. Republicans will continue to permit Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other unelected spokespersons to wage a broadcast war against Judge Sotomayor. Those who hold office will mutter high sounding platitudes at the confirmation hearing about the need to inquire into her judicial philosophy to preserve the integrity and independence of the Supreme Court, but will generally tread lightly. Limbaugh et al. will keep happy people like Mary, gunderson, jelly, lone eagle and others in the party base who can’t stand the idea of a black president or an hispanic justice (you know, it doesn’t look like our country anymore). At the end of the day, Judge Sotomayor will be confirmed, Republican senators will avoid having offended the entire hispanic community and the Republican base will be sufficiently mollified to preserve their loyalty.
“Limbaugh et al. will keep happy people like Mary, gunderson, jelly, lone eagle and others in the party base…”
