“Rust'n' Richard will have cows, did the cheap Nike shoe guy come through here this morning?”

“Source?”

“They're going to give birth to kittens.   Just watch.”

“Yep I figured it right. Tilt, Stove Stomper and salebored having another retard three way.”

“We're designing a new Nigal, this time with a brain.”

“Calicoes.”

“Unlike silly moonbat libbies, I'll reserve judgement on her until after I learn about her.”

“How's sugar mama, drunkO?”

“Howz thangs on the plantation, Stoviet?

Can you manage the bullwhip OK with one hand?”

“she's had 4 rulings overturned by the SC since 2001. another of her rulings is in front of them right now, to be decided by the end of june. maybe she can get there in time to rule on her own decision.”

“her clerks like her, say she's fair. was named to her last appointment by bush.”

“bush? Does she have biblical implants?”

“Kittens? Don't think so tilty. Sorry to disappoint you.

This nomination is pretty much what I would have expected. Bad choice, but pretty much what you'd expect from the currect president. Seems to be ok with legislating from the bench, nothing unexpected there, pretty much like the empty suit she would be replacing. She did put an end to the baseball strike so she did do one good thing.

Pretty much ho-hum, business as usual.”

“And I've always been the type to take care of mine
I know just what I'm doing
Don't you worry it's cool and everything is steady
Puttin' you on my taxes already, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I promise I won't let no bills get behind
Cause every touch, every kiss and hug
You 'bes believe it'll be on time
Suga mama mama mama yeah yeah yeah”

“I saw cotton
and I saw black
Tall white mansions
and little shacks.
Southern man
when will you
pay them back?
I heard screamin'
and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long?”

“Russian Blues....”

“She's strongly anti-2nd, professing it doesn't apply to states. (So MarkO can keep up, that means that she thinks it's a-ok for states to ban guns.)

She may be something of a racist: "Our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. ... I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." [U.C.Berkeley School of Law, 10/26/2001]”

“Perhaps you need some more guns to keep your self esteem up, Mutt.

Just so you can keep up Mutt, "self esteem" is not what happens when you look at internet porn in yore mammy's basement.”

“Come on Mutt............you know drunkO excuses all racism from Democrats.”

“Unfortunately, it's not just Mark. No TT liberal spoke out against Obama's racist/bigoted remarks during the campaign, for example.”

“Watch as Republicans alienate Hispanics even more and remain out of power for decades.

Keep up the good work ----”

“Mutt, what a poor, persecuted white male. Must be hard to carry the weight of the world on those narrow, beat-upon shoulders.”

“Perfect examples, LOL.

In other words.........nobody danced to Mutt's tune.

Go got it Rosey, he sure is the poster boy for the stale and brittle cracker.”

“Its obvious she knows racisim...but how did she make it to such a high court in the Racist era of the past (Regan, Bush, Bush)?”

“I see mutt is pushing the same line that's making the rounds on the right wing blabbermouth radio shows and websites. I wonder what those "..."'s are all about? Could they be omitting context?”

“In our private conversations, Judge Cedarbaum has pointed out to me that seminal decisions in race and sex discrimination cases have come from Supreme Courts composed exclusively of white males. I agree that this is significant but I also choose to emphasize that the people who argued those cases before the Supreme Court which changed the legal landscape ultimately were largely people of color and women. I recall that Justice Thurgood Marshall, Judge Connie Baker Motley, the first black woman appointed to the federal bench, and others of the NAACP argued Brown v. Board of Education. Similarly, Justice Ginsburg, with other women attorneys, was instrumental in advocating and convincing the Court that equality of work required equality in terms and conditions of employment.

Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences, a possibility I abhor less or discount less than my colleague Judge Cedarbaum, our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O'Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.

Let us not forget that wise men like Oliver Wendell Holmes and Justice Cardozo voted on cases which upheld both sex and race discrimination in our society. Until 1972, no Supreme Court case ever upheld the claim of a woman in a gender discrimination case. I, like Professor Carter, believe that we should not be so myopic as to believe that others of different experiences or backgrounds are incapable of understanding the values and needs of people from a different group. Many are so capable. As Judge Cedarbaum pointed out to me, nine white men on the Supreme Court in the past have done so on many occasions and on many issues including Brown.

However, to understand takes time and effort, something that not all people are willing to give. For others, their experiences limit their ability to understand the experiences of others. Other simply do not care. Hence, one must accept the proposition that a difference there will be by the presence of women and people of color on the bench. Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose to see.

“ECW, NBA east Playoffs or SCOTUS? Pterodactyl is supposed to be on, what's up with dis chit?”

“our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.

Um, you're not exactly helping your case, violin. First, I'm uncomfortable with what is nothing less than a shockingly high level of unabashed prejudicial bias, and second, I think it's absolute bullsh*t that the judiciary's racial makeup is determinant in its collective wisdom or ability to interpret the law. In fact, I have no doubt whatsoever that an all minority court and an all white male court, free from "race-aware" prejudice, would be equally competent in its abilities, all other things being equal.

Perhaps you "race-aware" liberals are so sensitive to racial differences that you've caused yourself to be unable to understand issues crossing gender or racial lines, but please don't project your complex onto the rest of us. You keep frantically pointing your finger at who you think the racists and bigots are, but all you're doing is condemning your own bigoted stereotypes that have no widespread basis in reality. You have become what you hate, and while that's a trite expression, it's true. You need look no further than Tilt viciously condemning a comically distorted stereotype of fly-over America to see where your logic leads when taken in its extreme.”

Republicans nominate wingnut dullards like Thomas and Obama counters with a moderate summa cum laude from Princeton. You know that Uncle Clarence never asks questions during oral arguments? I'd be surprised if he knew which case was being discussed.

I just has a vision of Palin as a senator from AK, assigned a seat on Judiciary ---- Wouldn't you love to hear her trying to READ a cogent question on Constitutional Law? Don't hold your breath waiting for her to formulate a followup based on the reply........

Personally I can't wait for 2012:   Romney/Prejean

“I didn't realize tilt was such a racist.”

“How far DOWN did the previous Bush have to reach to find Clarence?”

“How far?

Hopefully not as far down as Mississippi.”

“They couldn't find anyone more qualified who would sell out.”

“Clinton pretty much set the standard for digging deep to find people to put on the court. But maybe Obama has learned from the master.”

“i love how everyone says "the best person should get the job regardless of race or gender", but the obama administration has all but confirmed that they specifically looked for a woman and/or a minority...that's hardly "regardless of race or gender", no is it?...i'd love to get a look at the "short list"...i'm sure they were all women and a lot where probably minorities

i'm not saying she's not qualified...i don't know enough about her yet, i'm just saying it's pretty obvious that no white or male candidates were even considered”
