Too early to judge Sotomayor?

APTOPIX Obama Supreme CourtSenate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., suggested Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation” that the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Sonia Sotomayor was moving too fast given her “very long record,” with 3,600 cases to go over. Senate Judiciary Committee hearings are set for July 13. McConnell didn’t rule out a GOP filibuster but added: “It’s way too early to be talking about whether or not anybody opposes this nominee.” Wonder what McConnell made of the declaration by Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kan., on May 28 that he would vote against Sotomayor’s confirmation.

    Republicans already judged her before her name was even mentioned.

    Perhaps U.S. Senator Pat Roberts was able to speed read those 3,600 court of appeals cases?

    “JWink” suggests –

    “…Pat Roberts was able to speed read those 3,600 court of appeals cases?”

    He’d sprain his lips.

    I would suggest to Soda Mare that visiting a proper coiffure establishment to address that frizzy, fly away hair would help.

    “Regular” goes to name-calling early this morning –

    “I would suggest to Soda Mare….”

    But thanks just the same for the fashion tips.

    I bet you’re stunning when you’re wearing one of your sister’s dresses.

    Why so sensitive Primate Boy? Soda Mare doesn’t know you from Adam and I’m very sure she doesn’t want to know anyone who goes by Monkeyhawk.

    As mentioned before, “Regular” –

    Humans are primates.

    How’s “Primate Boy” an insult?

    Are you a reptile?

    “She’s in.”

    No doubt. But it does create traffic counts to provide a thread for libs to beotch about cons disking her.

    Like the rest of his agenda, Obama didn’t take anytime to “judge” her qualified and rush her nomination.

    Sorta like the democrats in congress speed read the 11,000+ pages of the Economic Recovery Act they rushed through?

    I agree. We MUST ascertain that she is going to be a good progressive activist justice.

    “We MUST ascertain”

    “We”?

    You get any telephone calls from Washington on Sotomayor Bluejay?

    Do you suppose the President and his democrat controlled congress will change the foregone conclusion for you?

    She is a member of la raza, so that makes her a illegal alien supporter in the worst way. She believes America is no more! If I’m wrong then prove it.
