Obama picks Sotomayor for Supreme Court
-
And Hispanics are overwhelmingly pro life.
She just may pull a switch on the liberals on more than a few issues..

Steve, our very own Joe the Plumber.
What is this nonsense you're spouting now? I think Hispanics are genetically inferior, much like the Klan? Delightful.
You got all that from what I just wrote? How insightful.
Here's a question for you: in a country that is 50% female, 15% Hispanic, and 13.5% black, would you have any problem with all nine Supreme Court Justices being white men?

You said...Poor white men. When will they ever get a fair shake in this country?
I read that as Steve did....you don't think white men get a fair shake in this country.

Heck, our very own Janeane Garafalo.
I know your scope is limited Heck but Alo had 2 things in his post.
One was the Ricci case.
Then you attacked white people for daring to copmplain that minorities get extra help in a job search.
I know it's all a blur to you.
I just assumed you meant minorities were actually inferior and needed special assistance to gain meaningful employment.
No?
And answering your question I say no.
Are you upset that there aren't even more women?
Why?

"I just assumed you meant minorities were actually inferior and needed special assistance to gain meaningful employment.
No?"
That made me laugh. I love your "No?" statements. Never fail to amuse.
"I just assumed that meant you hate Jews in your spare time. No?"
As for your answer, that's what I figured you'd say.

Good. Your stunted sense of humor is tough to please. Gosh there might have been another reason to think so poorly of people.
"I just assumed that meant you hate Jews in your spare time. No?"
No. I hate Muslims. Don't you remember?
As for your answer, that's what I figured you'd say.
And as for your pointedly missing answer I counted on that too.
Wanna try again?
I ask YOU Heck.
Are you offended by the fact the SC is NOT at least 4 women?
\Why or why not?
WSS
~facetious remark for you to ignore~
"Heck is offended ONLY if Obama tells him to be."
-
No, I don't feel that there needs to be exactly four women on the court. Nor is it a matter of being "offended".

I don't know the significance of this....
but it's surprising..

President Obama announced he will nominate U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Do you think she was a good choice?
Thanks for your vote.

My guess is that it signifies that the readers of the WashTimes online is even further Right than those of the print version.

Cal, how many times do we have to explain the difference between scientific polling and online polls like these?
We must have gone over this at least three times already.

I agree Tom, and for the most part, I don't pay much attention to what the public thinks as they usually don't have a cliue as to what makes a good SCJ.
For most it is their stance on 2-3 issues, and what most don't understand is once confirmed, they don't have to worry about any political payback.
As I said somewhere in the near past, for the most part most justices tend to take a few steps towards the middle once appointed. Radical leaning one way or the other are usually moderated once in a panel with other, equally qualified colleagues.
I don't know much about the woman other than she seems very qualified and has a good understanding of the law.
I trust she will consider the weight of the position as most have and not feel like she owes anybody anything and renders her opinion as best she can and abide by the laws of the land and not consider her opinion more important than the people who proceeded her.

And 95% of what we're going to hear about in the next few weeks will be about one single case in a career than spans a few decades.
In the end, it's not going to matter much. She's got the votes unless something major turns up.

Yes.
Exactly.
I don't know why it's so difficult to grasp the difference between scientific and non-scientific polls.

Is that all you are interested in...she has the votes??
Really man, you shouldn't be so shallow. You should look at everything the government does with a inquisitive eye.

Really, man. You shouldn't take one sentence in a quick post and assume that's the entirety of my opinion on the subject.

Fair enough...I had been talking with mz the pussy and his childish manner rubbed off on me for a moment.
You have my reply before and will leave it at that....at least until people start saying stupid stuff...and I expect that will happen

Why not Heck?
You sneered when I said I wouldn't be pissed off ot it were 9 white men.
Tell me why I should.
I probably wouldn't bitch if it were 9 Italian men like Alito or Black men like Thomas.
You listed percentages I assumed you wanted to see.
So why attack me for it if you don't care?
And for the record guys I was being facetious with Hecks attack on White men.
See if you believe in affirmitive action and set asides you mseem to be sayng Blacks are actually inferior and need extra points.

No, that's what you think it means. Wanting organizations that represent America to look at least vaguely like America, or to believe that there's a benefit to diversity, as in on college campuses, is hardly the same thing as saying that you believe that minorities are genetically inferior.
Jeez. What kind of binary nonsense is that?
That might as well have been another one of your "No?" propositions.
Oh, wait. It already was.
Nor is having a specific numerical goal in mind for each race and gender on the Supreme Court the same thing as saying that, when picking from a host of qualified nominees (after all, nobody is saying Sotomayor is not qualified for the job) that diversity can be one of the factors in their selection.
As for Thomas, he clearly was not the most qualified - or even close to the most qualified - potential justice when he was nominated by Bush I. He was a diversity hire. An affirmative action hire, if you will. Did you oppose that one?
-
So now you are against diversity hires??
