'Senate Republicans Won't Block Sotomayor'

Why should they, she is probably the most qualified of anyone out there. I somehow think during the hearings, she was grilled so intensely; her eyes were opened in ways that was educational for everyone. Hopefully she will be true to the law and not her emotions or gender or race. Good luck!

In its simplest form, the confirmation of Sotomayor is nothing more than government cronies elevating another government crony.

So the Repubs say they will not filibuster the nomination. Sort of like Herve Villechaize saying he won't block Wilt Chamberlain from dunking the basketball.

Each Repubs vote on this will depend largely on two deciding issues.
1) How many Hispanic voters in the district.
2) How long until reelection.

Her judicial record strongly suggests that any personal biases do not enter into her decisions. Too bad the Senators records say otherwise about them.

Since whites will be a majority until 2050 by most projections, do you really think Judge Sotomayor will still be serving on the Supreme Court? Perhaps no one answered, because the question was idiotic.

Just think, the 40th anniversary of Chappaquiddick is just HOURS away now.

Does anybody know of any commemorative events - like tossing a paper mache replica of the Oldsmobile off a bridge somewhere?

That might get as much turnout as a TEA party.

After the GM debacle, most Democrat posters were keeping a low profile.

The spectacle of the Democrats forking over a total of $50 billion of OUR money to a big greedy company was NOT pretty.

Oh right, it was to SAVE JOBS...

Funny, when the GOP talks about tax cuts to save jobs, the Dems all jeer. But when Obama and Pelosi outright HAND OUR MONEY to GM, ooo it's SAVING JOBS.... ROTFLMAO!

But Democrats count on people having short memories. So they think they can come back out of hiding now.
