Sotomayor on Whether Citizens Have a Right to Self Defense

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Republicans should be happy with Sotomayor - if her responses in the confirmation hearings bear out anything, it's that she's not one of those feared activist judges. She has made abundantly clear - and her record leaves no doubt on that end either - that she forms and bases her decisions on the specifics of the case before her and the applicable law and precedent relative to it.

i would answer as vague as possible....she has got the votes..this is just part of the dog and pony show

Is there going to be a swimsuit section and a talent show?

I pray not

n/s i don't know a thing about this lady, her past performance as a judge or her opinions on issues. all i know is when i see her i think of Rosanne Barr....i don't wanna see Rosanne in a swimsuit.

You just did b/c you mentioned it. And, well, because I mentioned it I now have that image in my head. I'm going to grab some liquor.

Puhleaze she is just giving the typical politician answers. What she does on later on is a whole different story.

That would be true for any nominee, no?

From what i've seen, the questions have been loaded... from both sides. She's being very coy and not biting. I'd like a little more information from her though. I'd like to see where she stands on both civil liberties and on 1st and 2nd amendment.

she's not on a date on saturday night. she's dodging the question, which makes me wonder what her stance really is.

i guess you missed the love fest from the democrats yesterday.

it matters zero..all she can do is harm herself with a stupid answer

..better to be a politician ...like the senators and double speak..lie and be evasive./.works for them..some of them were in the senate when God was a small boy

A lot of those politicians quizzing her are quite obviously grandstanding for their constituents. The whole thing seems more theatrical than it really ought to be.

Yes very true, we can expect to hear this kind of nonsense from any nominee.

There's no reason then to get all worked up about what she does or doesn't say at these hearings.

then we have a binomial solution set:

don't give a stupid answer

or she shouldn't be the nominee.

oh right, we should stick our head in the sand and not pay any attention to anything until it's too late.
