Comments on: Liz Cheney: Sotomayor Quote "Troubling"

[fred-mertz]

"She had 80% of her rulings overruled by the Supreme Court for being un-Constitutional. That is actually the definition of a activist." - jonesjep

You HAVE JUST GOT TO STOP LISTENING TO RUSH and the other imbecillic "entertainers". Sotomayor has been over-ruled just 5 times in her entire career. That is NOT 80%. You are either an EXTRAVAGENT LIAR, or an imbecile, because you keep repeating the druggie's trashy lies on these boards.

Now, if you had ANY BRAINS AT ALL, you'd check out the real facts. They are: only 1.3% of judge Sotomayor's rulings have EVER been overturned by anybody. But three of her appellate decisions have been overturned by Scalia's ultra-conservative supreme court. The supreme court ONLY hears cases they want to hear. And Scalia likes to stick it to the "liberals" and to the moderates and so he picks cases that he can use to CREATE LAWS that he likes. SO, if you only look at Sotomayor's cases that got appealed to the supreme court, then 60% (3 of 5) were overturned. The 80% you made up doesn't even apply to those few cases.

So, jonesjep, the FACT is: ONE POINT THREE PERCENT OF HER RULINGS HAVE BEEN OVERTURNED. SHE IS NOT AN "ACTIVIST JUDGE" and you are an imbecile for believing that drug addict, Rushed ********.

"The issue needs to highlighted over and over how the Democratic Party of hate has decided that blatant racist comments apparently are no longer a problem" -- jonesjep

Why weren't you repukes all upset when republican supreme court member, Alito, said virtually the SAME THING?

I'll tell you why:

1. You can only say or think what that drug addict, Rush Limburger, tells you to think and say.
2. You can't find any real reason to object to Sotomayer because:

a) republicans nominated her for her current job
b) republicans approved her for her current job
c) she is very intelligent and very well educated
d) she is more qualified, based on her experience, than ANYONE on the supreme court now, or for the past 70 years!
e) she is really a very moderate "liberal", and the farthest thing possible from an "activist judge" (unlike your hero, Tony Scalia, who twists and turns the law in incredible ways to support whatever his political and religious dogmas demand of him.)

ALSO, as it turns out, if you actually read what Sotomayer said, in its entirety, rather than get your soundbites from the drug king, you'll see that she is ABSOLUTELY NOT A RACIST, and she HAS NEVER RULED ANY CASE BASED ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN HER UNDERSTANDING OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LAW.

Whine and complain all you want, repukes... it isn't going to do you any good whatsoever. With less than 20% of the country admitting to being republican, and the number dwindling every day, thanks to your propensity for alienating large groups of the population (e.g., all the latinos don't like being called "racists"), you can bet your bottom dollar that the GOP is toast.

GOP: Dead Man Walking!

It is also incredibly racist for people to believe that objecting to a blatant racist, socialist, anti-constitutional radical is going to turn off all Hispanic voters.

This woman was selected for 2 reason. She is a radical lib and a hispanic woman. She was not even the most qualified in her district.

we tawk ship where mark twain sat......oh yes,,,I feenishd seconal in the spully bea yesday...

[jonesjep]

The issue needs to highlighted over and over how the Democratic Party of hate has decided that blatant racist comments apparently are no longer a problem. Not only are they not a problem but should not even be raised as a issue. There is not a single racist comment or action that can be placed on Dick Cheney or anyone of his family members.

Racial comments and class warfare are the hallmarks of the Democratic party.

[jtleseth]

it is preeeety bad when a Judge loop holes her decision like she did on the FIREMAN case.......right out of LAW AND ORDER.....the begetter of '''PHILLaDELPHia lawyers.....I bet a dollar to a donut that if she thought for one moment when she rendered her biased opinion on said case,,,,,,,,that she'd be considered for the Supreme Court........it would have been different.........how do they say,,,,"COMES BACK TO BITE YA,,,,in the donkey...????

[SanityPlease]

. . . I think if Sotomayor's single, almost decade-old comment is the worst her detractors can cite, then send her on through to the bench.

You bet, Fox and the whole Republican cabal of losers, are spending a lot of money to dig up dirt on Obama's pick.

They in turn are fast losing the hispanic vote for 2010, and digging their own grave. They are already on their last legs to the trashcan of history, seems they want to get there by leaps and bounds. Pathetic losers.

Can you believe the media thinks that a daughter of a former vice president is worthy of ink in a national story?

What happened, did they run out of men on the street interviews?

What's TROUBLING is how the Cheneys and their [really, truly racist] cronies can't read, discern, or even think clearly enough to make a valid argument or original point against Sotomayor.

Every numbnut has read the full quote by now, and knows that it was in response to Justice Day O' Connor's remark -- not some random outburst. by a woman determined to prove how much better suited she is to judge suffering, injustice and inequality than a white man protected by the color of his skin, his inherent connections, and the size of his bank account...[hmmm, even if she were accurate...it would be 'politically incorrect' to say so, right?;-) ]

Liz Cheney should keep her mouth shut [as she did all of those 8 TROUBLING years during her evil dad's rape and pillage of the American economy with his oil and war agendas.

Liz should just crawl back into bed, and stay under the covers where clearly she does her 'best' and most effective work...procreating.

And CBS, please STOP giving the Cheneys 'airtime' -- so that we can all go back to our jobs....until then we will all be obliged to blog them into oblivion...
