Bishop Hedd Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Opening remarks, particularly by the far right Sessions, has proven that the conservatives know they have no chance in defeating her nomination so let's make this a referendum on the Obama administration. How frighteningly original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 How frighteningly original. Guess they are borrowing from the same playbook used during the Roberts confirmation, huh? Don't worry, I'm sure everyone will be dazzled by the 'richness' of this 'wise Latina', even though her most newsworthy decision was just smacked down by the same group she's looking to join.

How frighteningly original. I listened to the opening comments this morning from both the right and the left and it has become increasingly clear that of all the questions everyone plans to ask her, not a single person has bothered to ask her how SHE prefers her last name be pronounced. Guess they are borrowing from the same playbook used during the Roberts confirmation, huh? Don't worry, I'm sure everyone will be dazzled by the 'richness' of this 'wise Latina', even though her most newsworthy decision was just smacked down by the same group she's looking to join. The reality is, they have the votes. The GOP should express their points, and move on. I'm reading that the left now plans to go after the character of the firefighter she ruled against. For the love of Christ, stay focused people. Pick your battles, and this isn't a battle that can be won (right) or lost (left), so grow up and let's get back to paying attention to the issues that we CAN have an affect on; like who killed Michael Jackson.

DC Tom Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Guess they are borrowing from the same playbook used during the Roberts confirmation, huh? Don't worry, I'm sure everyone will be dazzled by the 'richness' of this 'wise Latina', even though her most newsworthy decision was just smacked down by the same group she's looking to join. Of course, it's the news-worthy decisions that, being controversial, are most likely to be "smacked down". Or...they're newsworthy BECAUSE they're smacked down. Her confirmation is pretty much a foregone conclusion, though, unless something really stupid happens (and frankly, I think she could offer Texas back to Mexico, and still get confirmed). The hearings are nothing more than opportunities for press time for the Congresscritters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 5-4 is hardly a smack down. Something like 7-2, as in Roe vs Wade, is a smack down. No, it's an indictment of how pathetic partisan politics truly are today. The fact that this decision (and DC versus Heller) weren't 9-0 should be a wakeup call to every citizen. Unfortunately instead it has just re-enforced your idiocy. Congrats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bishop Hedd Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Just amazed how arseholes like Sessions can keep being re-elected over and over again. No wonder I said in a previous thread Sarah, and her mega trips to "Bama", would set her up for a potential run for a National position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though you are one of my favorite conservatives here KD (along with Wacka.....I'll explain that one later) , DeSoto by Studabaker's decision in New Haven was one of judicial restraint, hardly one of the judicial activists that currently occupy the High Court.

KD in CA Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Though you are one of my favorite conservatives here KD (along with Wacka.....I'll explain that one later) I was going to take that as a compliment until you mentioned Wacka. Of course this is a forgone conclusion -- I think we all agreed on that when she was first named. President gets to make his pick and no, I don't think she's an extremist. But let's not get too worked up about the other side getting in their jabs. It's going to happen no matter who is nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim in Anchorage Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Bullseye Potsie! I mean how did we ever get George W. Bush as President? The Florida votes where rigged.

IDBillzFan Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 The Florida votes where rigged. I understand how a liberals mindset can wander,but surly you must remember Bush never won. There are way too many current talking points for liberals to learn. They simply can't do that and still remember the old talking points. It's my understanding that the left has currently saved or created over 150,000 talking points since January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
