Sotomayor on Whether Citizens Have a Right to Self Defense

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

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

then we have a binomial solution set:

don't give a stupid answer

or she shouldn't be the nominee.

she will be the next justice

and there's nothing the rethugs can do about it

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Short of saying anything overtly political or losing her temper, or some personal scandal being kicked up - she'll get in.

exactly.

the right-wing thugs are foaming at the mouth over this, i am loving it.

[SMOKE 1,426]

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.

and have that ever stated where they are at election times on issues...

Dr. Coburn does. like him or not, there is no doubt where he stands on issues.

nor anything the dims will do to prevent it.

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.

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?

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.

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

So then you're saying what she says at the hearings does matter. If that's the case, look at my initial statement. Nothing she said in the hearings - and nothing in her record - suggests that she's an "activist" judge looking to make law from the bench. Isn't this the very criteria you Republicans always had front and center? She meets it.

The rethuglicans don't care. Republicans on the other hand are more than happy with such a reputable choice

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

she will be confirmed. you can complain about it all day, won't matter.
