What a pile of crap you spew.
Not only is she stupid but this dumb fool did a double spin. This is the best we can find for the highest court?

What's so sad, we on the left judged Thomas by the content of his character and we found him to be quite a character.

As for wanting her on the bench... yeah, we unapologetically like that affirmative action thing, sort of makes the Court look like the country where half the population happens to be women. With regards to no dif in the sexes, that is precisely why her nomination is important. For too long women have been considered inferior, so consider this justice as bring a little justice to the Justices.

PS - as if you conservatives don't like your forays into affirmative action, does Sandra Day O'Connor ring a bell?

This is one of the BEST choices EVER for the U.S. Supreme Court! I am so glad he made this choice! She will be a strong voice for the working people and for liberal social ideals. She has been there and knows what it is like to work for a living and to be poor. She will be a strong voice for all of us!

I can't think of any protests against Hispanics appointed to office by Bush.
Bush's father appointed Sotomayor!

Well I didn't go to all those fancy schools but I KNOW THAT JUDGES DON'T MAKE POLICY! She is DUMB if she does not know that! You know each of the three bodies of the federal government is seperate but equal. It's what we call checks and balances.

PPS - Back down the memory hole.

"Sandra Day O'Connor took her seat today as the 102d Justice and the first woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court. President Reagan, who fulfilled a campaign promise to name a woman to the Court by nominating the 51-year-old Arizona judge, attended the brief ceremony in ...

A sad day for a hispanic like me, but I expected as much from BO...
