Comments on: 1998 NYT Article On Sotomayor ‘Delay’ http://sweetness-light.com/archive/1998-nyt-piece-on-sotomayor-delay Tue, 22 May 2012 08:43:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Botfly http://sweetness-light.com/archive/1998-nyt-piece-on-sotomayor-delay#comment-147997 Botfly Wed, 27 May 2009 03:05:17 +0000 http://sweetness-light.com/archive/1998-nyt-piece-on-sotomayor-delay#comment-147997 For God's sakes, if we force-feed NY liberal sensibilities onto the rest of the country we are surely headed for certain disaster. As a NY'er I feel it is my duty to warn the rest of you non-NY'ers on the dangers of the NY liberal mindset so as to give you time to prepare for what is sure to be the end of moderated judicial thoughtfulness on the SCOTUS. As Obama blows hot air into his ocarina and his minions obediently dance in lock-step to this administrations every suggestion I am becoming increasingly concerned for the generations to follow. Surely there is a candidate out there who will inspire us because of the workings of their legal analytical mind and not because they are just another Cinderella story from the PJ's in the boogie down.

What does her diabetes have to do with being a competent justice. The mention of this was merely a ploy to gain sympathy for her and to distract from the real issue of her ideology and her qualification to serve. Like I said elsewhere, I'd be more comfortable with Judge Judy. This twit has an axe to grind. Some child, somewhere, can be thankful for not ending up with her for a parent.

Someone being divorced from her I could understand. Along with the no kids part. But playing with the little kids? Card games? What're they playing, Yugio? Sheesh! Just the kind of intellectual we need on the Supreme Court--another case of arrested development. Well, she looks like a regular Dumbledork, if you ask me.

Her judicial ideology hasn't changed much, and she certainly hasn't gotten any better looking in the last 11 years either. There’s a lot to be said for consistency.
