My aunt is a circuit judge for the EEOC in DC/Northern Virginia and knows he and his wife quite well but like many others stays far far away from him....


and for everyone questioning Sotomayor's intelliegence - let's see some of your college transcipts - especially all of you who graduated summa cum laude from Princeton or another competitive college.

My scholarship to Princeton was given to a Hispanic woman, they had too many white boys with 1500+ SAT scores.

I haven't looked too much into her qualifications because the fish are in and I'd rather be out on and in the water chasing them than reading about her. I'm sure she is very intelligent. Even affirmative action couldn't have gotten her to where she is today if she wasn't very bright.

But, keep in mind that intelligence doesn't always translate into making prudent decisions. Just because someone is smart, doesn't make them the right person to be hearing and deciding Supreme Court cases.

By the way, Richard Nixon graduated from Duke University Law School with honors.

Intelligence maybe not, but according to Sodamayor, the color of your skin does translate into prudent decisions.

Johnny D - just a quick comment on the "drones" spitting back comments from Hannity or right wing radio. Many, many times I was called a disciple of Rove by Spence (this is 5 years or so ago), finally I had to ask.....who was Karl Rove? I really had no clue. For myslef, I forumlate my opinions on my own by mye experience and observations. Many times, I am in agreement with talk radio, but the ideas are my own. I am some form of a non-republican conservative that has never heard Limbaugh, Hannity, or watched fox news for more than 30minutes a year. I am a big fan of Jay Severin.
Have you guys missed me?

I definitely wasn't calling you out Jimmy. I know there lies intelligence behind your post. I was making an observation. Maybe it is just a coincidence that some of the same people regurgitate on these boards almost exact quotes of what I've heard on Right-Wing radio just that morning.

And yes, we have missed you. Did you ever get that yard work taken care of?

unfortunatlly these fishy things with stripes have shown up over the last month and consume all my non-working time and effort. All grand plans suddenly go on hold until mid-november. So...unfortunatley no, I have saved your PM and will use this eventually!

Supremacism is the belief that a particular race, religion, gender, species, belief system or culture is superior to others and entitles those who identify with it to dominate, control or rule those who do not. Examples include supremacism based on ethnic or anthropological origins (white supremacy, black supremacy, ethnocentrism), sexuality (male supremacy, female supremacy), sentience (human supremacy, alien supremacy) and religion (progressive liberalism).

Racial supremacy differs from racism in that, racism is the dislike or disrespect for a particular ethnic group. Racial Supremacy is the belief that one's own race is superior, dominant, chosen, smarter, more civilized, or more productive than any other race.

this is extremely low brow...hope you feel better

noone had questioned her intelligence...that's a favorite assault of the left...

how is it that Ted Kennedy kills a woman (not to mention his other "issues") and is elected over and over for a life time all the while being hailed and celebrated as one of the greatest dems ever?

yet

Clarence Thomas is savaged by scurrilous accusations which were pretty well refuted by others, was confirmed despite them and has served in exemplary fashion since that time despite the cartoon image of him created by the left and the media and is still viciously attacked to this day...

maybe he should have killed someone ? is this JUSTICE? in Thomas' case you can pick sides based on who you believe, Kennedy definitely killed her...


I don't listen to Hannity...I like The Big Show...don't get the Fox network either in case you are taking a poll JD

hey Cool Beans..remember..Spence admitted that he teaches others to formulate agenda into a coherent and effective message...he's just practicing on you...

I'll show you my college records when you show me Obama's...bring the birth certificate too

I keep asking myself...self..."why is the left...the dems ...so freakin' angry?"...you got a radical leftist pres...the senate and congress with whack job dems in charge...the media has completely prostituted itself to the O and the entire left agenda...the government is now imposing itself into every aspect of American life making every citizen and industry either dependent on or beholden to the federal govt.....you'll get to stand in line for rationed health care any time now, we'll get VAT, carbon taxes, tiny cars, excessively high energy costs, we are on the verge of liberal socialist utopia in this country and the left should be in a constant state of orgasm, they're getting everything they ever wanted.....but they're still angry...especially if you disagree with them openly...ask Mrs. California...this is becoming scary and tyrannical....you guys need to be more tolerant....and happy....life is too short...even shorter with socialized healthcare

does anyone recall previously where members of congress and spokesmen for the president have openly threatened and warned the members of the other party against opposing a SC nominee?....this is becoming very thuggish...is this the "Chicago Way"?

they just play by different rules...

Kennedy Calls Bush Minority Nominees 'Neanderthals'

Sen. Ted Kennedy called President Bush's judicial nominees "Neanderthals" on Friday, a group that includes Hispanic lawyer Miguel Estrada and African-American Judge Janice Rogers Brown.

Boasting of his party's resolve in the face of GOP attempts to stop the Democrats' filibuster, Kennedy told the Senate, "What has not ended is the resolution and the determination of the members of the United States Senate to continue to resist any Neanderthal that is nominated by this president of the United States for any court, federal court in the United States."

Kennedy's overtly racist language stunned even liberal CNN correspondent Jonathan Karl, who reported, "Strong words from Ted Kennedy suggesting that some of these nominees are Neanderthals."



Democrats should have championed Judge Brown's confirmation, not because of her compelling life story, but because of her record as an exemplary judge committed to the rule of law, equality for all Americans, and her limited role as a judge.


Instead, privileged, wealthy, white Democrats attacked Brown as an "extreme right-wing" judge who didn't care about "civil rights" or the "down-trodden." They were unconstrained by accusations of racism and sexism.


When the Democrats ended their nearly two-year delay, including a filibuster of Brown's re-nomination in 2005, their attacks continued. They claimed their opposition wasn't racist or sexist:


Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) ridiculed Bush nominees including Brown, as "Neanderthals." He attacked Brown as "another extreme right-wing candidate ... a judicial activist who will roll back basic rights."
Sen. Pat Leahy (D-Vt.) said: "I oppose giving Justice Brown this lifetime promotion to the second highest court in our land because the American people deserve judges who will interpret the law fairly and objectively. Janice Rogers Brown is a committed judicial activist who has a consistent record of using her position as a member of the court to put her views above the law and above the interests of working men and women and families across the Nation."
Sen. #^&#^&#^&#^& Durbin (D-Ill.) said: "Janice Rogers Brown is one of President Bush's most ideological and extreme judicial nominees."
Schumer said: Judge Brown "is the least deserving of all of President Bush's appeal court nominees."


Many political pundits apparently share Democrats' low opinion of Hispanic voters. All we've heard thus far is, "Republicans don't dare go after Sotomayor," or they'll lose the Hispanic voting bloc.

Your post doesn't say much for the backbone of the EEOC employees and the standards they swear to uphold. Most of them have to be attorneys, right. They not only protected/harbored him, as one of thier own fellow lawyers (and because he is a fellow lawyer), but they allowed him to ascend to this nations highest court by being cowards, that is of course what you say is not just hearsay, or third or fourth person half truths. The post is sad commentary.
