Hey, Geo. Do you still state there's no liberal bias in the Major Media?

Liberal bias is when you disagree with .00001% of what 'Rushes' out of the fat man's mouth.

ROTFLMAO....http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=49218

Question 12(b) requires a nominee to "(s)upply four (4) copies of any reports, memoranda, or policy statements you prepared or contributed to the preparation of on behalf of any bar association, committee, conference, or organization of which you were or are a member or in which you have participated."

JCN Counsel Wendy Long sent a letter Friday to Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and members of the committee arguing that Sotomayor had not properly complied with this requirement because she had not submitted the 1981 memo on capital punishment.

“It is . . . clear that (Sotomayor) has omitted controversial material from her past in which she asserts that '[c]apital punishment is associated with evident racism in our society' and advocated public opposition to restoring the death penalty in New York state,” Long wrote to the committee.


Thus begging the question

A. Did she forget? indicating she was not serious when she wrote this or was she just pandering to someone (great for a supposedly Impartial Justice).

B. Intentionally refusing to comply? I think thats called Obstruction or something.

C. Truly a racist (like her Dear Leader) and just trying to hide it until she gets some clearance to practice.

ROTFLMAO...does anyone remember when Lord Benson (Lloyd Benson) of Democrat fame was running for VEEP. He had made the comment about Dan Quayle not being Jack Kennedy. This was followed by the Kennedy Family explaining Jack Kennedy never had any real conversations with Lord Benson.

Anyway Lord Benson (good liberal democrat) was discovered to be a member of a rather RACIST country club. (I mean certain "caucasians" were even barred.

So he QUIT to show his solidarity. Then a month after the election...he rejoined....


This leads up to....

WASHINGTON -- Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resigned Friday from an elite all-women's club after Republicans questioned her participation in it.

Sotomayor said she resigned from the Belizean Grove to prevent the issue from becoming a distraction in her confirmation hearings.

In a letter to Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the federal appeals court judge said she is convinced that the club does not practice "invidious discrimination" and that her membership in it did not violate judicial ethics.

But she said she didn't want questions about it to "distract anyone from my qualifications and record."

Federal judges are bound by a code that says they shouldn't join any organization that discriminates by race, sex, religion or nationality.

How many women in Bohemian Grove?

Are GW Bush, Dick "Dick' Cheney, Newt Gingrich and Donald Rumsfeld all sexists for belonging?

Was Scalia wrong to speak before the group in 2003?

GW Bush, Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, Donald Rumsfeld....hmmm

(rubbing forehead) Vile lets go through this. They are all members of the EXECUTIVE BRANCH...see these people actually are there to CARRY out the laws. They are or were Elected (Rumsfeld was appointed but thats the same). They can be removed.

Scalia speaking before someone is just him exercising his First Amendment rights...kinda like when GW spoke before the NAALCP.

See Sotomayer will be a member (she actually is) of the JUDICIAL BRANCH meaning she will interpret the LAW.

As with any JUDGE (appointed for life in this case) she is expected to be impartial and understand the law.

I personally find it somewhat disturbing that she will be ruling on such things as Discrimination while she is clearly an advocate of some types of discrimination.

LOL Stove I have said it from the first, Sotomayor is an intentional BORK. She is being thrown up there, unqualified (except for being hispanic) to be shot down so the Whiney liberals can say "SEEE they don't Like Hispanics."

She is qualified and would do a good job. I hope she is quickly confirmed. The Judiciary Committee needs give up trying to pin her down on how they think she would rule on specific issues. The American Bar Association’s Code of Judicial Conduct says that nominees “shall not make ... statements that commit or appear to commit the candidate with respect to cases, controversies or issues that are likely to come before the court.” It's unfair of the Judiciary Committee to put questions in front of a candidate that the individual under consideration can't answer. Sadly, the Judiciary Committee has turned the confirmation process into a three-ring circus style media spectacle used to puke up their own political views and do what they should: Confirm an appointment made by the President.

Tilt, does it bother you that she has justified that she injects her own personal bias into her decision making, considering the point of the Supreme Court is to NOT to that, and only to consider the law? Does it bother you that she has stated that she can do a better job than whites because of her race and experiences? Do you think that is okay? Would you feel the same if it was a judge who was biased in the other direction?

You don't have to give straight answers to these if you feel your answers will incriminate you. We all know the answer to those questions anyway.

So they will be replacing a righty who turned out to be a lefty with a lefty who might be a lefty that isn't down with whitey.

For all practical purposes it sounds like the status quo will be maintained.

Looks like blowjob expert Lindsay Graham is now trying to position himself as the "not quite as crazy" senator from SC.

It certainly didn't appear that way when he was defending torture and badgering witnesses to despicable US "contractor" behaviour in third-world prisons during committee hearings a few months ago.
