Obama's Judicial Activist Nominee

I truly hope the Republicans show some back bone and fillibuster. Did this person never hear of the Constitution?

 

When have Republicans in the Senate shown backbone in the last 15 years?

peace to youraying:

 

The only way this person can be defeated is if the American people rise up!

 

just obamas type of person, he thinks the constution needs to be rewritten anyway

 

Your hopes are in vain, LE.

Republicans will remain gutless to the end.

The GOP doesn't have the votes to stop this "moderate liberal." Unless, of course, they change their position on using a filibuster to block a vote on her. Or is it only wrong when the Democrats threaten to do it?

We survived Thurgood Marshall and there will never be a bigger activist than he was on the bench so I imagine we will survive Sotomayor. She is only one justice and one vote so the nation is safe.

 

LE is dreaming.:sleeping_2: canadyjd is right on. :thumbsup:

There will be no display of courage on the part of Senate Republicans unless God miraculously provides them with the courage to do so. raying:

 

Not as long as "bho" is in the White House!

 

There are at least two with intestinal fortitude [guts is so plebeian], DeMint from my home state and Coburn of Oklahoma.

 

And what have they had to say about the nomination of this socialist judicial activist, Sotomayor?

 

Since neither is on the Judiciary committee nothing so far. I simply made the point that they had GUTs, sorry, intestinal fortitude.

 

We'll see.

Sotomayor is a racist. Do you think they will address that issue?
