I lost interest when I saw the bloated clown ... Al Franken ... speak. All I heard was blah, blah, blah.
I give credit to Sessions and some other Repubs for asking her pointed and relevant questions.
From what I gather her role will be to keep affirmative action in place and stoke the fires of racial hatred, therefore never allowing the country to finally put this shit in the past and move on. That would be bad for democrats and race baiting assholes like Sharpton and the corpse look alike Jackson.

Before you carry on with any more whining that Maria Sotomayor is somehow unfit for the bench due to her gender, nationality, cultural identity, empathy, sympathy or anything else, read these quotes:
'…when a case comes before me involving, let's say, someone who is an immigrant – and we get an awful lot of immigration cases and naturalization cases – I can't help but think of my own ancestors, because it wasn't that long ago when they were in that position…when I look at those cases, I have to say to myself, and I do say to myself, "You know, this could be your grandfather, this could be your grandmother. They were not citizens at one time, and they were people who came to this country.
When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender.' – Samuel Alito coming on all Italian immigrant at his confirmation hearing to sound of Republican silence.
'The reaction of people of faith to this tendency of democracy to obscure the divine authority behind government should not be resignation to it, but the resolution to combat it as effectively as possible. Indeed, it seems to me that the more Christian a country is the less likely it is to regard the death penalty as immoral. Abolition has taken its firmest hold in post-Christian Europe, and has least support in the churchgoing United States.
I attribute that to the fact that, for the believing Christian, death is no big deal. Intentionally killing an innocent person is a big deal: it is a grave sin, which causes one to lose his soul. But losing this life, in exchange for the next?' – Anton Scalia crashing through the wall between church and state to the sound of the Founding Fathers spinning in their graves.
'I have followed this man's career for some time…he is a delightful and warm, intelligent person who has great empathy and a wonderful sense of humor.' – Poppy Bush 41 dropped the 'E" word about Clarence Thomas to the sound of distant crickets.
The thing is that conservatives like biased Supremes and 'activist' judges' just fine, so long as their activism is directed in the right, ie their, direction. 'Not only do state-court judges possess the power to "make" common law’ opined Scalia, ‘but they have the immense power to shape the States' constitutions as well’ and without conservative judges 'legislating from the bench', corporate personhood would still be a distant nightmare and the world would have just waved goodbye to President Gore.
And if the Supremes weren't prone to the odd bit of interpretation then the unfortunate Terri Schiavo would not have had to go through that pathetic farrago as the letter of the law would have seen dispatched to the great hereafter on the PDQ.
Is Sotomayer biased? Who isn't? Plainly the rest of the Supremes are. Maybe conservatives would prefer the SCOTUS to consist of a series of Hewlett-Packards running MicroSoft ConJustice™ 2.0 that would digitally determine how the 18th Century Constitution would apply in the 21st, but that would mean that the occasional case would go against them. Grrr! Stoopid activist computers!
So he who hath no sin cast the first stone! Judge not lest ye be judged! And stop being such bloody hypocrites.

A) Only libs practice deflectiona and distraction.
B) Alito, Roberts, Thomas and Scalia are Constitutionalists - orginalists. Which is their freakin job, you moron!
Those selected for this court are to judge whether laws passed in congress and by states pass stand up to the Constitution of the United States. They are not to invent rights and they are not to legislate from the bench.
You, having no understanding of our laws or foundation, really have no place speaking on sommething you obviously know nothing about.
This also, (you would argue otherwise, but here you would be stepping in dog-shit) has nothing to do with you. The supremes only validate our laws and have nothing to do with international law. That is the Congresses jurisdiction.
The overreach of the supremes in recent years in their power grab of war powers and international law (even in quoting it) is actually not within their powers to do so.
That they haven't been bitch slapped and put in their rightful place is a disgrace to our former POTUS!!! Both Congress and the POTUS should have ignored them (as past POTUS and Congress have done in our history) and shown them that they only have certain powers as those given to them by the Constitution!

‘Only libs practice deflectiona and distraction.’
You are currently proving this declaration false. I have raised the fact that Alito, Scalia and Thomas are ‘guilty’ of the same ‘crimes’ as Sotomayor and that conservatives condone activist judges, yet you go on about Supreme Court overreach and my right to discuss the entire issue, thus you are deflecting and distracting.
‘Alito, Roberts, Thomas and Scalia are Constitutionalists - orginalists. Which is their freakin job, you moron!’
Oh, really? So how do you explain this from Scalia:
‘I am not a strict constructionist, and no one ought to be.... A text should not be construed strictly, and it should not be construed leniently; it should be construed reasonably, to contain all that it fairly means.’
And let’s not forget Scalia’s heroic efforts to preserve and extend corporate personhood by claiming that that cash is the language of the corporation so therefore money is speech and thus corporate donations are protected by the constitution’s first amendment free speech provisions! Wow! Is that what the framers had in mind? Is that what the constitution actually says? Has the constitution been construed reasonably, to contain all that it fairly means?
And how do you explain the quotes I gave you from Scalia and Alito?
‘Those selected for this court are to judge whether laws passed in congress and by states pass stand up to the Constitution of the United States. They are not to invent rights and they are not to legislate from the bench.’
Yet they do. One of the Right’s favorite bit of judicial activism comes from Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company case of 1886, yet more proof that rich white men will happily advocate for rich white men, and throw all legal precedence and ‘rules’ out of the window in order to do it if need be.
This case is significant for not only its incalculable ramifications on today’s society at large but also the casual way it was decided; no research, no debate, final vote of the nine justices, no extensive accompanying explanation, no oral arguments of any kind, just one statement by Supreme Court Justice Morrison Remick Waite at the start of hearings which went thus:
‘The court does not wish to hear argument on the question whether the provision in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids a State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws, applies to these corporations. We are all of the opinion that it does.’
and so the notion of ‘Corporate personhood’ became law, despite the fact that it was decided by judicial fiat and has no basis in either logic or law.
Of course, the ultimate act of judicial activism would be Bush Vs Gore, where states rights, the constitution and whatever else as in the way was trampled underfoot in the stampede to anoint Bush Jr. They even knew that what they were doing was out of order because they stated that it was not to set a precedent.
Now, can you stick to the subjects I raised? Or are you going to continue to deflect and distract?

Sotomayor is not a 'stereotyping racist'
Of course not. Her whole life revolves around her ethnicity. She was taught that any race other than white is "special". Although she was born and raised in America ... her leftist studies taught her that other races can't do anything on their own because of some mysterious "white force field" that holds them back. The only way to counter this powerful force is to be racist and discriminate against whites.
How sad that Elroy can't see that the goal of the left is to create chaos, disunity, and anger. Anyone can do anything in America. All it takes is perseverance and hard work. Unfortunately, generations of "minorities" have been told they can't do anything unless they receive some special treatment.
Luckily for America, the majority of "minorities" are thankful for living in America and reap the benefits of hard work. They don't consider themselves black, hispanic, white, yellow ... they consider themselves American.
Don't worry Elroy ... these fine folks are constantly berated by the tolerant left and badgered to join their hateful ranks. Conservative blacks are routinely called niggers and house slaves by the fine tolerant folks on the left. Hispanics who don't toe the La Raza line are threatened.
Funny the one group who never seems to be talked about ... and is often actually discriminated against themselves by the left are Asians. Asians never bitch, whine or want special treatment ... they just get on with life, work and succeed.
Kinda odd how the left discriminates against a "minority" that doesn't play their victim game.

Lindsey actually did a good job yesterday getting her to acknowledge that making laws is the responsibility of the legislature and exposing her either inability or unwillingness to set aside her own personal feelings which is totally inappropriate. Justices should be chosen for their knowledge and expertise in constitutional law; not for political affiliations.
Representatives and Senators are obliged to their constituency while Supreme Court Justices are obliged to no one. That is why they do not make law. That is bad for everyone; conservatives and liberals alike.

Good article-
Sotomayor's Supreme Charade
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, July 14, 2009 4:20 PM PT
"Confronted with her disturbing racially oriented past statements, Judge Sonia Sotomayor had an excuse that only a liberal activist jurist could make: She meant the opposite of what she said. Sotomayor's oft-repeated rhetorical riff on race is clear as a bell: 'I would hope that a wise Latina woman, with the richness of her experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.' She would sometimes leave out the 'white male' part, but the remark was always a pointed disagreement with former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's maxim: that a wise old man and wise old woman would agree on a judicial case's outcome. Yet when the Senate Judiciary Committee's ranking Republican, Jeff Sessions of Alabama, quoted Sotomayor's own words to her, the response was basically: 'I didn't mean what I said.' Kind of like how the Constitution doesn't mean what it says, as so many judges believe? 'What I was talking about was the obligation of judges to examine what they're feeling as they're adjudicating a case and to ensure that that's not influencing the outcome,' Sotomayor told Sessions. 'We have to recognize those feelings and put them aside.' Put it all together and it comes out something like this: The richness of a Latina's experiences will help her reach a better conclusion than non-Latinos because she will 'recognize those feelings and put them aside.' That's tough to swallow. ... By claiming her 'wise Latina' comment meant the reverse of the plain meaning of her words, Judge Sotomayor has blemished herself on the first day of questions. If she dances around that, why should we believe her when she says 'the task of a judge is not to make the law; it is to apply the law'?"

‘Her whole life revolves around her ethnicity.’
As does, apparently, yours.
‘She was taught that any race other than white is "special".’
More like she was taught that the ‘white race’ isn’t.
‘Although she was born and raised in America ... her leftist studies taught her that other races can't do anything on their own because of some mysterious "white force field" that holds them back.’
Aha! The ‘mysterious white force field’! There’s no great ‘mystery’ about it, Darwin – it called 400 years of institutional racism. Blacks and Hispanics have been systematically discriminated against since the English and Spanish first arrived, as the discourse on this page shows.
‘The only way to counter this powerful force is to be racist and discriminate against whites.’
The only way to counter this force is move forward despite it. Considering the fact that Caucasian Christians have dominated the commercial and political life of the planet for the best part of 400 years it’s rather pathetic to hear them whining about being discriminated against, especially when they’re not.
‘How sad that Elroy can't see that the goal of the left is to create chaos, disunity, and anger.’
How sad that Darwin cannot see that the chaos, disunity and anger he perceives are a direct result of the extreme capitalism he promotes.
‘Anyone can do anything in America. All it takes is perseverance and hard work.’
Yes, they can persevere and work hard. It’s just a shame that it will not get them anywhere.
‘Unfortunately, generations of "minorities" have been told they can't do anything unless they receive some special treatment.’
Generations of minorities worked this out for themselves. Something to do with that ‘slavery’ thing…
‘Luckily for America, the majority of "minorities" are thankful for living in America…’
So many assumptions, so little proof.
‘...and reap the benefits of hard work.’
The benefits of hard work currently appear to be debt, homelessness and death.
‘They don't consider themselves ... they consider themselves American.’
But many Americans consider them black, hispanic, white, yellow…and treat them accordingly.
‘Don't worry Elroy ... these fine folks are constantly berated by the tolerant left and badgered to join their hateful ranks.’
No, they’re not – these fine folk merely recognize the inequality of the system.

'Conservative blacks are routinely called niggers…’
N.....rs? Nope, I don’t buy that. That’s your guys’ routine.
‘…and house slaves by the fine tolerant folks on the left.’
A historical reference to those slaves who aligned themselves with their owners in order preserve certain privileges. It happened. There were slaves. There were owners. Get over it. Your squeamishness is disingenuous. Don’t pretend it didn’t happen. A bit PC of you, don’t you think?
‘Hispanics who don't toe the La Raza line are threatened.’
And white people who toe the La Raza line are threatened.
‘Funny the one group who never seems to be talked about ... and is often actually discriminated against themselves by the left are Asians.’
How do the left discriminate against Asians? This one you really need to back up.
‘Asians never bitch, whine or want special treatment ... they just get on with life, work and succeed.’
If that’s so then maybe that’s because, as you demonstrate, they do not suffer from the systematic and institutionalized racism that Hispanics and Blacks do. It’s that ‘slavery’ thing again.
‘Kinda odd how the left discriminates against a "minority" that doesn't play their victim game.’
There’s that ‘the left discriminate against Asians’ straw man again. Ho hum.

No I didn't. Read again. I totally disagree with you on everything and think that the opposite of what you wrote is true, but I am extending the discussion – you, on the other hand, ignore it all and shoot the messenger. Typical.
If my knowledge base is fault, defeat me with that famous 'logic & facts' duo that conservatives are always boasting about – just saying my knowledge base consists of 'rantings by people that hate America' does not make it so.
Is your knowledge base made up solely of rantings by people who love America? I don't know so I can't say – what I can do, however, is challenge whatever your knowledge base consists of. Up to it?
The thing is, I am not just contradicting you (if I AM contradicting you) for the sake of it, to be bloody minded – I can back up everything I've said. Can you?
'No wonder no one wants to "discuss" anything with you.'
I think they may have other reasons.
'Get the fuck over yourself...'
Since when did conservatives have the exclusive on being assertive and opinionated? You guys holler away with all kinds of palpable nonsense, but if anyone calls you on it they are being 'arrogant' or full of themselves. Hypocrisy, th name is...
'...and have the balls to read something other than crooks and liars.'
I do. That's why I'm here not reading Crooks & Liars.
So, are you going to further this discussion in any intelligent way? Or just whine?

Representatives and Senators are obliged to their contributors, and due to the legal fiction of corporate personhood Scalia et al are set expand the extent of that obligation.
‘ while Supreme Court Justices are obliged to no one. That is why they do not make law. That is bad for everyone; conservatives and liberals alike.’
Ahem. ‘– ‘Not only do state-court judges possess the power to "make" common law but they have the immense power to shape the States' constitutions as well’ – Antonio Scalia
‘Elroy oh so wants to come to America, he cannot stand to sit quietly...’
No, Elroy is quite happy to observe y’all from a safe distance.
‘For all the examples of what the left has done throughout history…’
Like the creation of the USA? Universal suffrage? The eight-hour day? The Enlightenment? Shall I go on?
‘..how they've failed, what they've destroyed, how many they've killed ... it just never seems to sink in.’
Capitalism’s body count is infinitely higher.
‘LOL A punctuation lesson from the grammar expert!’
My giving Jenn a punctuation lesson is as ironic a Jenn giving me a grammar lesson.
‘Fail.’
Really? How? Please, spell it out.
‘Did we have a choice? Bush was the incumbent. The other choice was John "Halp Us" Kerry.’
Then you had a choice. But my recollection is that y’all went along with Bush. Y’all thought it was a good idea. When the peaceniks were at the barricades, you lot were waving flags and going ‘Waaaah! Me scared!’
‘Just be glad we didn't elect Gore. That Luciferian bastard would have shoved all this bullshit down our throats.’
Shoved what bullshit down your throats?
‘heh! roid don't know the difference between originalist and constructionist and he dares to lecture me on being a lemming.’
I was trying to establish that Scalia does not consider himself a constructionist but a texuralist, and that’s the important distinction. Both are originalist approaches.
‘You mean the two words Bush never said in his speech? You mean the two words the leftard lemming like you like to parrot over and over again. As he said, the end of MAJOR combat was over. And it was.
He may not have said it then – Rumsfeld removed it from the speech – but he sure said it merely one month later to some troops at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, on June 5, 2003.’America sent you on a mission to remove a grave threat and to liberate an oppressed people, and that mission has been accomplished.’
‘Mission Accomplished" signified the end of the carrier's deployment. They were returning home ... mission accomplished. No one on Bush's team had anything to do with that banner.’
Oh dear. White House spokesman Scott McClellan: ‘We took care of the production of it. We have people to do those things. But the Navy actually put it up.’ Later on it turns out that the White House hung the thing too, but still insisted it was at the crew’s behest.
‘I have tried to watch some of the hearings. I sure wish ONE of the senators would stop her in mid babble and tell her to ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION. Of course all the dem members just gush and try to suck her ass.’
I know, it’s terrible isn’t it? Imagine not getting your own way all the time! That elections have consequences! That the majority of your countrymen disagree with you! Mercy!
Cheers

I think Elroy should try to get his thoughts published. He's a good writer and no doubt would enthrall the readers of such prestigious publications as:
Insane Quarterly
Do It Yourself Suicide
Dictator Digest
Drone Weekly
and lastly, the one publication no leftist fails to read ... The Corrupt Bureaucrat Monthly
