Graham and Sotomayor are both racist liberals, so it's like two peas in a pod.
A man hating lesbian feminist and member of la Rasa on a mission to remake the US constitution as her superior wisdom dictates should automatically receive bipartisan approval?
"The National Rifle Association took the extraordinary step of warning lawmakers that it would "score" their votes on Sotomayor and punish those who vote for her. "

Gee, call her the 'C' word and you would pretty much have every masogynist base covered, eh??
In the end he gets it. The only Republican in the Senate Judiciary Committee to approve Sonia Sotomayor for SCJ....
To paraphrase he basically said that this is not about partisan politics, but whether Sotomayor is qualified to be on the bench of the supreme court, to which he gives an unequivocal 'yes'......
THIS is what the question is when we are going through the vetting process for a Supreme Court Justice.... We don't look at whether we agree with their politics or rulings, but whether the justice has a habit of unsound rulings and legislating from the bench.
I respect Graham for getting this right and I hope politicians from BOTH sides of the aisle can learn something from this...
I agree that what Sotomayor said in speeches is irrelevant versus her record of how she ruled over time as the reason for voting her up or down but I also think that same principle should be applied to candidates running for President. It's irrelevant what he said in speeches, people should have voted for or against Obama based solely on his history.

I see. So because they don't agree with her ideology they "don't get it". Because they don't vote blindly and tote your parties line they "don't get it". What the hell is a vote for in the first place then? They should just appoint czars and bypass the voting process huh?
Show us any judgment she's made from the bench in her entire 17 year career there, that in any way whatsoever expresses "bias and obvious proclivity for pre-selection" (whatever the hell that means).
Just one.
A single, solitary ruling.
You have thousands to pick from, so there must be ONE that you can cite if your allegations are true.
Surely the Senate Judiciary Committee must've found one during this vetting process, no?
No.
As Sarah Palin said, "quit makin' stuff up."

June 29 (Bloomberg) -- A divided U.S. Supreme Court, reversing a decision by Sonia Sotomayor and two other judges, said a Connecticut city violated white firefighters’ rights by canceling planned promotions because no blacks qualified.
The justices, voting 5-4, said New Haven improperly used race as a basis for throwing out the results of a pair of tests administered to candidates for lieutenant and captain positions.

I wonder why this is the way it should be or a probable racist proposed member but it wasn't that way with John Roberts. It seems like I remember the Dems acting at least as bad as the Republicans have with her.
As far as I am concerned I wondered who would take Spector's place as the leading RINO and Graham has stood up for the title. Do you think she will get more AYES than Roberts did. The Dems want that so bad and were so sure that with 60 seats and some RINOs they could beat it. I am hoping that not more than 10 Republicans vote for her for that very reason.
