DUH! Ditto brain! The Court ONLY takes cases it's going to look at to overturn! The REST they refuse to hear...in effect UPHOLDING the lower Court. Honest now tell us the truth here. Did you actually get through the 6th grade? My Granddaughter, who is standing right here beside me knew THAT and she's only 13. Oh she says "Hi" and "Go back to school". I agree with her!! LOL Wow!! LOL

What record would that be Spiritwalk? I have listened to TWO solid days and the ONLY people I hear talking about her HUGH Case History is the Democrats. So far the ONLY thing that seems to upset the Fringe is her position on the Abortion Issue and the 2nd Amendment. That position CERTAINLY is NOT outside the Democratic Party or their views. You DO realize it's the Democrats who are picking this justice don't you?

You are truly a sad person! You don't care about this nation UNLESS we do things your way! Why not show some HONOR and at least ADMIT it!

Sadly, this seems to be a racially based appointment and it is being defended with racially based rhetoric.

It is impossible to find a human that does not have some bias on some subject, but as a jurist thy must be able to put them aside when rendering a decision. There have beem may notable jurist who have done that, however Sotomayor's record seems to indicate that she has not been able to do that. It is not a judge's job to enforce or change the law. Those powers are for the executive and legislative branch and a jurist who willfully and knowingly ries to usurp the powers of those other branches should not be on the bench.

Now I seriously doubt that.. but didn't YOU support the Worst in our History?? I'll bet YOU voted FOR him TWICE now didn't you? What was it you frauds used to say??? "The lesser of two evils"? Now We have ONE who ran against the Worst who has won the Nobel Prize. The OTHER is serving in the Senate and the attack against him has become a symbol of what is wrong with our Politics. For some reason that makes you claim a little less important. I've listened to the woman for two days and she has the entire Republican Party twisted in knots! LOL

Why are we wasting so much time on this!!! She meets all of Obama's qualifications. Highly educated liberal lawyer skilled in the art of spinning words, biased towards minorities and their love for socialism, hides that she really hates America and is willing to go against the constitution, favors foreign law, promotes community organizing and activism, and like Obama, has strong ties to the corrupt group ACORN. So what's the problem? She's hired! And there's nothing you can do about it! WILL THE REAL AMERICA PLEASE WAKE UP!

You sound so bitter but like a GOOD little Ditto Head you hit so many of your hate targets. Could you explain to all my Hispanic Friends what ACORN has to do with the Judge? I know you freaks get desperate some times but COME ON!! She's an APPOINTED Judge for crying out loud!! Are ALL the Ditto Heads just Uneducated People who can't or won't think for themselves?

These hearings are a torture to watch and it must be more so for Sotomayer but you would never know it from her demeanor.

One GOP Senator will question her at length just about everything that has been public regarding the nominee. After he is finished, his fellow GOP Senator will repeat the very same questions just as if the prior Senator had never asked them in the first place. Cronyn's questions were almost identical as the questions asked by Sessions yesterday. Don't they coordinate these things.

As to right wing talk show hosts - This morning, one ridicued the conviction that Sotomayer would add to the SC diversity on the insane grounds that she and the current SC justices went to Ivy league colleges. So, according to him, the face that she is Hispanic counts for nothing as to diversity. How stupid.

How can anyone who has had 8 of 10 cases over turned by the Supreme Court expect to be allowed to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court....well, because Obama nominated her....she is Latino, a women and all the hoopla about pulling herself up by the bootstraps in a bunch of bunk....Thousands of poor young people were able to go to college on Afirmative action...just like the Obama's...and many others. Obama lies to pick women for a lot of these jobs, also it helps if your latino or black....reverse discrimination.....We are doomed econimally because of all the money being spent on programs that are unnecessary..one of them is spending all this money on Sotomeyer when we all know the Senator's will bow down, kiss her feet and elect her...they have no choice and neither do the people of America..or what will soon be know as the North American states. the UNITED word will be withdrawn from our nation...we have not been United for years..we reap what we sow.....
