I agree. Remove Clarence Thomas from the bench!

If you replaced Bush with Obama's name, I'd agree with you.

[gunownerdan]

Sotomayor is just what we should expect from Obama - an activist judge with no respect for our basic constitutional right to keep and bear arms!

If you replaced Bush with Obama's name, I'd agree with you.

fred,
Sotomayor thinks civilians do not have a right to own guns, a belief she shares with Adolf Hitler and every communist dictator in history.

Men should not handle or take Boniva.

The town felt it had a right to throw out the test results, and the appellate court was compelled to apply the law as it was written. Supreme court has different priorities from the appellates, and could make the decision it did. Standard stuff.

[summarex]

Not that I agree with too much of here politics but are they bothered by the fact that she doesn't take the findings of lower judges and juries as fact? Isn't that what apellate judges are there to NOT do? Or are theyt supposed to be rubber stamps like everything else in this country?

[saturn05]

Oh, so she is too good at her job so we must look for trouble where??? As we know from our current Supreme Court justices(majority Conservative), they should be investigated now for the way they and make their decisions. Labeling things conservative or liberal is too easy. I am a staunch liberal, but I would lean towards backing the prosecutor or the defendant. What would that do to the guys system of rating the justice?

[warpmail]

No! It is up to the justices and judges to uphold the Constitution, not prescribe remedies. If you follow your line of reasoning then ALL judges can "make right" every perceived wrong. This is the touchy/feely approach to the judiciary.

actornaught you forgot about the hispanic firefighter(s) that were included in the lawsuit. By the way, if you passed a difficult test wouldn't you want to "get the prize?" This reverse discrimination has been going on oh for about 30 years per a L.A. fire chief I know.
