Jus...Face it, it's an affirmative action pick. Just like Clarence Thomas.<br /><br />Neither Thomas or Sotomayor deserves to be on the Supreme Court and if the process were truly colour blind, they wouldn't be.<br /><br />In the bigger picture, Sotomayor's appointment is meaningless. She replaces a not-so-dynamic or intellectually rigourous Souter. She will vote the same way and for the same reasons. The nonsense that she will be babbling will just be filler to fluff out concurring opinions with the others of the current minority on the Court.<br /><br />Thankfully, none of the majority on the Court look too fragile and should last until after January 2013.Cranky or Just A Crankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17907685609837213585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-88223349835372150612009-07-15T19:02:29.417-07:002009-07-15T19:02:29.417-07:00Lawyers make their living - justify their very exi...Lawyers make their living - justify their very existence - in how well they use 'words'.<br /><br />Because, like it or not, our laws are written in words, our legal concepts and principles (not principals) are expressed in words.<br /><br />For a lawyer to not be able to use even basic words which express not so basic legal concepts... that 'ought to' make such a lawyer 'unemployable'!<br /><br />For such a lawyer to be appointed a judge - that is a travesty of justice in itself.<br /><br />For such a lawyer to be nominated for the US supreme court: that is a SCANDAL!!!!<br /><br />Yet, I have the sinking feeling that she WILL be confirmed: she has a history of playing the 'I am oppressed because of my race' card..... Those doing the review will be so afraid of being smeared as 'racists' that they will take the cowardly way and confirm the demonstrably unqualified person into a position of real power....<br /><br />Sickening!Xanthippahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00896441894876745028noreply@blogger.com
