Good Morning,
I gagged on the Headline in our local paper this morning,"Hispanics laud high court pick". Big type under it, "Local Hispanic leaders praise historic nominee". Then in the second paragraph of the article they say, "However, defeating Sotomayor would be difficult in the heavily Democratic Senate, and even a major effore to block her confrirmation could be risky for a party still reeling from last year's elections."
OF COURSE THEY FEAR ONE THING. WHETHER SHE IS CONFIRMED OR NOT WHAT A WONDERFUL CHANCE TO SHOW THE WORLD THE VISIBLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TRUE REPUBLICAN CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERAL DEMOCRATS WHO WANT JUDGES WHO MAKE UP THE RULES AS THEY GO ALONG. The press wants to be sure that does not happen and is firing a warning shot across the bow of the conservative ship.
This is one more chance for true conservative leadership to step up. If the wimps like McCain, Powell and Ridge have their way, it will be more evidence of how the press has tamed the party.
What a crock! The lady is pathetic but that makes no difference. The color of one's skin was more important than any qualifications for president, guess a hispanic is the only qualification necessary for the Supreme Court.
They could nominate Senorita Minnie Mouse and the press would laud it as a historic.
Gag! Gag! Gag!

PS: GAG #2. In another article this morning I see where Olympia Snowe gushed about Sotomayor calling her well-qualified. She also noted that Rahm Emanuel, personally had called her early in the day to tip her off about the pick. GAG GAG, kick her butt out of the party like Schumer, Ridge and Powell and let's move foreward.
Last night I found a website outlining her 60% reversal rate and the opinions of the Supreme Court saying that she rambled and was incoherent in some of her opinions. Today that seems to have disappeared from the internet.
