      Okay, Miss Genius, if Sotomayor ruled in the Ricci case based on race, why was she in the majority, and why did the District Court agree with her? Duh.

        Aaron Burr, as VP, was definitely a better shot . . .

      Occasionly when I am running errands on Saturday, I listen to her radio show. She did a segment on Justice Souter, not too long ago, that was beneath contempt.

      No kidding, she makes Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, and Levin sound sane, reasonable and civil.

      Someone who looks like Crowley really has no business commenting on the looks of others.

      Crowley looks like Brüno with longer hair.

      OK, let's recap:

      - According to Crowley, Sotomayor is "basically Alexander Hamilton in drag" . . .

      - According to Buchanan, Sotomayor "comes off as Sam Alito's little sister" . . .

      - And, Sen. Coburn, felt it appropriate to respond to the nominee by saying, "Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do!"


      So, in just the past week, Supreme Court Justice Nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor, a Latina New Yorker of Puerto Rican descent, has been compared to a West Indian Islander of French-Scottish extraction, an Italian-American son of immigrant parents, and a Cuban-American TV character.

      And they say cons don't see race. Heck, sometimes they see several of them. :))

        After many years of watching The McLaughlin Group, I gave up after a few weeks of hearing Crowley's nonsensical babble. You really can't take any show seriously in which she is a participant.

      These people just can't get off the ricci case,can they?
      Can someone please post a link to where she's actually ruled in favor of whites,and/or corporations?

      Sonia's nominee is shattering the status quo and conservatives just can't handle it.

        I can do even better:a case where she dissented in the favor of a white supremacist regarding free speech.

            Sadly, if Fox ever were to spotlight that particular case, I could easily see Hannity or Beck saying, "See? She dissented in favor of that white supremacist because she identifies with racists!"

        And the biggest fact that they apparently keep missing is that Ricci et all WON their case after appealing several times. In which case the SCOTUS made up a new precedent, and effectively changed the law on which Sotomayor and others ruled along with.

          You're spot on, Flowers.
          Buried in all the redundant verbiage of the hearings was one nugget of truth which I hope, not very confidently, will become conventional wisdom. Russ Feingold said, in effect, "A an activist judge is one who delivers an opinion you don't like." I believe Al Franken said essentially the same thing. The conservative majority (now that Kennedy is Roberts' lapdog) fits the classic definition, but logic respect for language is not a hallmark of the Right.

        Apparently she has her PhD from Columbia in International Affairs, not too shabby.

        Oh, and she also worked for Nixon for a few years before he died, wrote a couple of books about Nixon, and so on.
