Obama picks Sotomayor for high court

I'm curious as to why this insistence on judicial "activism" as a product of the liberal/left. Clarence Thomas has taken positions on hate crime that would without question be considered "activist" rulings. Its fair to say some judge's "activist" ruling or otherwise, is not necessarily anchored to their political orientation.

I would like to politely ask that those listening to Hannity put him on mute. A great book titled "Supreme Conflict" authored by Jan Greenburg goes into great detail about competing judicial philosophies and how they have shaped the court. Its also refreshingly objective. I recommend it to anyone who wants to compliment their understanding of the court.

Good luck with that.

I'll watch Hannity on occasion because it amuses me. Even funnier is when I hear him ranting about something and then see comments made on here that are almost word-for-word quotes of what was said earlier.

It's the same thing with Right-Wing radio. Some people drink the kool-ade then come on here and regurgitate it back out. Drones.
