It's mostly a charade. Republicans ask questions they know Rush Limbaugh and the far right wing will approve of, Democrats throw softball questions, and Sotomayor does everything she can to avoid saying anything that could possibly be considered controversial.
Definitely a Woof Woof, and a dumb, dull, lifeless one at that. But because all the white males are tippy toeing around, in the lost hopes of hanging onto some measure of hispanic votes, they are slurping up to this corpulent cow. Will wonders never cease.
More on the suck-up sensation going on at the hearings:
I did watch them and the woman has put a spin on all of her statements where she said that judges should be willing to change law and how she thought a Latina could judge better than any white man. She said that at least 6 different times in different speeches. She is going to get in and she will be really bad for this country with her views about firearms and abortion and listening to European laws.
Time to start citing, please.
6 different speeches, I challenge you to link to three different speeches.

I can see by your posts that they have a perfect mix in YOUR koolaid.

I agree with you on your post.
I am not impressed with her in the least myself.You can't tell me that with all of the qualified folks out there for this job that SHE is the best one for it?

Well, then, let's try to name someone better qualified.
In response to some of the questions she was asked, specifically the ones about her comments that included references to ethnicity/backround, it seems to me that she did a lot of back pedalling and misdirection. She was asked a few of those questions again and/or told she didn't answer the actual question. What do you think?
Sotomayor is just another liberal dolt — who, apparently, doesn't have much of a grasp on vocabulary and diction —*who has the wool pulled over the eyes of the low IQ cretins that voted for NObama.
Definitely a Woof Woof, and a dumb, dull, lifeless one at that. But because all the white males are tippy toeing around, in the lost hopes of hanging onto some measure of hispanic votes, they are slurping up to this corpulent cow. Will wonders never cease.

Who are YOU thinking? Hell....there are literally MILLIONS upon MILLIONS out there who would be considered qualified.
"The Constitution does not list or specify any formal qualifications to become a justice on the Supreme Court, just like it does not specify the number of justices that make up the Supreme Court. Our Founding Fathers left those decisions to Congress. However, from the beginning of the Court,, justices have all been lawyers and many have had legal and political careers prior to serving on the court. An "informal" qualification is that the President consult with the Senators from the state that a prospective justice is from, before making his/her nomination official. The Senate must confirm appointments to the Court so they usually take into account the legal expertise of the person nominated by the President."

The key word was better. Who do you think is better qualified? Start naming names.
