First Hispanic Supreme Court justice takes prominent role

Summary: Sotomayor played an interesting role in the recent Supreme Court case on the Arizona Immigration law.

She's proven herself to be anything but “wise” so far.But those of us who've been paying attention aren't even a little bit surprised.
*

prominent role ? Give us all a break. She asked some questions that reflected her ignorance and all of a sudden she's a prominent force on the court. Very sad.
*

Every time I think of the Jug Eared Jackass’s SC appointees, I think of this quote from Julius Caesar:
“The evil that men do lives after them....”

*

 

The “wise Latina” on the Supreme Court is proving herself to be a pandering Hispanic lackey, who will never see justice for all Americans at the expense of her Caribbean brethren

*

 

SowtoEore was unqualified for his position.

*

 

"Just remember Rick Santorum voted to confirm her to the Appeals Court when Clinton nominated her knowing she'd be on the fast track to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Think about that any time someone laments Santorum isn't the nominee."

The Senate always just "rubber-stamps" presidential USSC nominees. Why that occurs, I don't know. My guess is it's about the "good ole boys" club in both parties. Other than Bork and Thomas, I can't remember the last time the Senate contested a Supreme court nominee. Of course, it was the Dimocrats who fought against the above.
 
I'm no longer a republican. They are gutless. Obama will get 4 more years to destroy us with "liberal lite Romney" as a weak nominee. Would have loved to see Newt debate Bambi, but he wasn't pretty enough in our "cult of personality". With all Newts faults, he knows what's good about our heritage and history, but has a goofy smile and talks above the dumb-downed populace. Santorum was also a pretty boy like Mittens, but doesn't know squat. Ron Paul is a dipshit.
 
This dying nation wants smooth talking celebrities who speak in generalities for what they will do for the "gimmes", and that includes Soccor-Moms. Newt knows history and the failings of socialism, but no one wants to hear such big concepts and historical precedents as to why Hopey and Changey is failing. Just look pretty and promise me stuff, please. Pfft.

I get fairly dark in the summer and am often spoken to in Spanish [which I don’t speak]
But I have plenty of *paper work* to identify myself, should I be asked.

*

 

A former business partner of mine went to high school with Ms. Sotomayor (Cardinal Spellman, I believe). He said she was no great shakes intellectually and she has an Ivy League background for one reason- she is a Latina. My former partner is a Democrat.

*

 

the member of the hispanic KKK gets her/its day in court. La RAZA, La Sodamaker.

*

 

I will make sure to refer to her as a white hispanic from now on. Her skin is lighter than George Zimmerman’s.

*

 

Soto Sayso is easy to get rid of. Just prove Obama is unqualified under article II of the Constitution, and every appointment Obama ever made would be null and void.
That is actually much easier than many think.
Alabama is on the right track in terms of examining the issue in the courts.

 

53% of New Graduates are Jobless or Underemployed

Good! Little Che t-shirt wearing, Marxist voting a-holes! Learn to love it! You voted for it!

*

This is the reality of the world that a lot of these kids wanted when they supported Obama. Socialism and taking from the rich sounds good in theory. Getting degrees in Social Work and Wymyns Studies and going to work to help the disadvantaged sounds good in theory. And then reality smacks you in the face — there are no jobs. When everyone is sitting on their ass unemployed because they have a Social Work degree, no one is generating the income to pay for the rest of society to live. We are running out of other peoples’ money.

*

Hope and Change, clowns! You went to “college” and got a “degree” in something that was never designed to make money, especially now that 1000000000000 other Gen-Y dupes got the same thing. Maybe if you were smart enough to go into something with a demand, and not have been so stupid to vote for O, you might actually have a chance.

Enjoy your college debt. Oh, and where’s my damn fries?

*

Not every college kid voted for 0. I for one knew exactly what his presidency would mean for my job, my ability to pay off my college debt, and my ability to get out on my own.

I graduated in the summer of 2008 right when the bottom fell out, and not everyone can be an engineer or a doctor, so some of us who are more creative or struggled with math and science and wanted to go to into careers that suit our talents couldn’t find a job in those fields and ended up unemployed because there wasn’t much professional work available. It took me two and a half years to find my first “real job” after working two jobs part time to get me experience (many jobs after the bank crash weren’t entry level and many of them wanted 3 years of experience) for the field I wanted to get into: marketing. Happy to say I’m now employed as a Marketing Associate and while I wish this would have happened a couple years earlier I just have to grudgingly admit that sometimes life gives you a challenge and that you just have to work hard and stick it out to do what you want to do and be where you want to be.

I’m part of Gen Y, I didn’t want this economic apocalypse, I voted against 0 and I have sympathy for those in my generation who saw the same thing and are now struggling to get work. The others in my gen who support this guy are idiots, but for those who woke up I feel for them, and maybe, hopefully they learned an important lesson. My point is, is that not all Gen Yers are libs, if anything this economy might be a grand awakening for many of them. The ones who are now demanding handouts (and it isn’t all of us, I have debt, but I will pay it off without government aid) are the same idiots who would vote for this clown regardless. Some of us, a lot of us, want to have careers, start a family, and live a better life.

*

Gee, isn’t 53% the percentage of people who pay no federal income taxes or get a federal income tax “refund” called the earned income tax credit? Coincidence, or maybe it has something to do with the fact that so many people “earn” degrees that qualify them for nothing more than they were were qualified to do when the received their high school diplomas?

*

YES WE CAN!! Si se puede!!! Yes we can!!! SI SE PUEDE!!!
How’s that “Hope and Change” thing working for you guys?
Sorry, I have very little sympathy, knowing that most of them worked, and voted, for Obama.

*

"They’re taking some risk, too."
Not least of which is that of attracting the notice of the corrupt government leeches who live to suck the life out of success.
If they're in Detroit, it won't take long.

Successful Democrat Governors

Vanity post:

Out of curiousity: Is anyone aware of a current successful democrat governor?
We hear success stories out of Ohio, Wisconsin (despite Walker's current recall), North Dakota, South Carolina, Louisiana, New Jersey - all with dynamic Republican Governors at the healm.
Where are all the success stories from states with democrat governors?
Why isn't THIS a talking point wit the RNC?
Why are we always playing defense?
Just curious....

Comments:

The problem with your question is that the dim media and the dim governor define their on success and therefore it is so.
If you mean is there a dim-gov that isn't running a huge deficit, huge taxes, etc...the answer is no.
They don't exist!
I cite my own state of Maryland as exhibit 1.

*

Schweitzer of Montana hasn't done to bad for a Dim. He's pro-gun, pro-states rights and Montana has a large budget surplus.

*

“Why isn’t THIS a talking point wit the RNC?
Why are we always playing defense?”
A better talking point would be: who runs the toilet states/cities? Who’s been in charge of Detroit/Baltimore? Who was in charge of NYC pre-Giuliani, or California pre-Arnie? Wait a couple years before bringing up California, on second thought. Thankfully, should be just in time for the rest of the nation to start smelling its rotting corpse.

*

"“Zig-Zag” Zell Miller. Democrat governor of Georgia.
Of course, he was more conservative than a lot of ‘Pubbies and waaaaaaay more conservative than the Democrat party in general."
I would VOTE for Zell Miller for president over Mittens Romney, heck I would vote for Zell over ANY of the GOP runners in the last 3 elections cycles, heck the only one who would win over Zell in the last 30 years would be a ressurected Ronald Reagan!!!!
And you stole my thunder, I was going to post Zell Miller as the LAST sucessful Democrat Govenor.

*

I am disappointed that MY former governor is the Republican apparent candidate BUT....
You must remember that Mass is so overwhelming LIBERAL democrat that there is really no a lot a governor of any party can do. Evidence the number of our LEGISLATIVE former leaders are either in jail, disgrace or under indictment.
Also, many of the bad stats came from eastern areas of this zoo that are so far to the left they are in danger of falling over.
If TODAY’S government had been in office in 1776, we’d still be speaking ENGLISH as we pledge our alligence to the KING, rather than the Flag of the USA. (N0 2nd amendment)

*

We have a successful Governor here in the Gay State.His greatest success was convincing a fellow Rat office holder to pretend to leave the Rat Party and to run against him as a “conservative”.The result? Coupe Deval,Osama Obama’s good buddy from their Chicago street thug days,won reelection with 48% of the vote.

George Wallace?

"Cut His Head Off!" Illinois union thugs rail against Wisconsin's Governor

Excerpt: "Rev. T. Ray McJunkins of Springfield's Union Baptist Church and USAction's William McNary engaged in violent rhetoric to rile up a union crowd of thousands just yards away from an Illinois appearance by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. McNary challenged Walker to "knuckle up" while McJunkins said they're going to "cut off his head," likening Walker to Goliath."

This is an example of what our poor Governor has had to put up with for the last year. But, I have to admit that I can see no reason for such violent rhetoric in ILLINOIS against the Wisconsin Governor, who has no say over Illinois wages whatsoever.

*

"Reasonable people will soon lose patience with such thuggery. I'm afraid it won't end well, as this leftist bunch from Zero on down is all in to set their communist dictatorship in stone. There will be a lot of innocent blood spilled before it's all over."
Hussein’s voters are not reasonable people and they number about half of our population.

*

Ilinois union thugs are always confused. Probably because their wives and daughters are at home entertaining AlQaida terrorists in the delights of the bedroom.

*

Even if the ignorant, self-serving, Union deadasses “win”, they are just kicking the can down the road for a brief respite.
That isn’t basic economics, or even basic mathematics.
It is fundamental arithmetic.

*

Shouldn’t these lowlife, commie bass turds be getting a visit from the Secret Service the way Nugent did?

*

It’s very easy for those in IL to peak next door into WI and see that the financial condition of that state is improving under Gov Walker. The IL thugs are alarmed that they and their policies are next in line for the chopping block and they are unnerved and VERY afraid.

*

[Someone posted a picture of the minister in question. He is a black man with a nice suit and some jewelery on]

“I wonder how much that suit and jewelry cost.”

I was wondering how much skin came off of my white ass to pay for them....

*

Get a load of the ‘bling’ with which that fat man has adorned himself.

*

That’s a $1200 Movado watch that fat turd is wearing. A product of stealing from the plate I would assume.

*

I will feel much Schaudenfreude towards the libs and union people when Walker wins again. And make no mistake, he will. I’d bet the house on it.

*

Illinois Governor Pat Quinn (D) stole the 2010 election. His two predecessors are in jail.
He probably would agree with the union thugs.
I have a good feeling that Walker will win. All the tools form the Universities in Wisconsin will be on Summer Break fornicating in their home states or in some hell hole tourist joint in Mexico.
So it'll just be Trumpka his fat friends and the commie teachers..
.
*

Wisconsin must be solvent. I received my state income tax refund FIVE DAYS after filing! Wisconsin was insolvent when Walker was put in office. That says it all.

*

Simply being Baptist does not make one a born again saved Christian. Personally I doubt that a true Christian would ever make such a remark, especially in public. So Rev McJunkins may be an unsaved Baptist minister, but he is not a born again Christian.

I would venture to say that most black churches (of whatever denomination) are nothing more than liberal, socialist, welfare, pro-union, pro-homo/lesbian, pro-Islamic, social gospel, black liberation type of theology. That includes the Black churches on TBN as well. That's why every 4 years you see demoRAT presidential candidates making their ritual, show of false Christianity by appearing at predominantly black churches.

When supposedly 98% of blacks vote for radical marxist, pro-abortion, pro-LGBT, muslim like 0dumb0, I question whether any of the blacks voting for 0dumb0 are really born again, saved Christians. They will find out, when they appear at either the Judgement Seat of Christ (for believers) or the Great White Throne judgement (for the unsaved).

Does Anyone Really Believe The New 46/46 Poll Coming From CBS? Obama at 46%? Laughable?

I think these polls are intentionally manipulated to be close to the 50% level so the independent middle will think it is close. When we get closer they will start to break higher for O and lower for Mitt and the independents will follow the trend. Correct me if you think I am all wet.

*

"If the price of gas continues to increase and the economy remains stagnant or deteriorates Obuggery will lose and lose bad."
Barring an October Surprise of epic proportions, I agree. The MSM is covering for the big O with all its muster. The GOP nominee must attack with negative ads for the single purpose of depressing the base of the big O. Surely, that is what the DNC will try to do to the Repub voters. Pray for cold rain in the first week of November.

*

Any conservative candidate could win.
(except they would be attacked
by the Soros-BAIN-Romney-Reid team.)
Romney is absolutely sure to lose. He is despised
from his attacks on GOP candidates, and lies,
and fascist impositions of whatever
he was thinking at the time.

*

I think the GOP has an October Suprise of epic proportions to hit the Won with.

*

I became convinced long ago that ‘independents’ and ‘moderates’ claiming to ‘vote on the candidate, not the party’ are more interested in voting for the eventual winner and enjoying that imaginary sprinkle of stardust than in any real election issue even if such a vote conflicts with their livelihood, morality, religion, etc. These are the same people who suddenly discover their city has a pro sports franchise when said franchise reaches the championship game or series.
It’s a juvenile, simple-minded and counter-productive act but it happens every election.

*

These “self-rolled” polls are the “In-the-Tank-For-Obama” Media’s uppers.
These are fake stimulants and the pathetic liberal media know it.

*

why don’t we poll one million people who hate paying $4.50 a gas? Romney or Bozo?

*

Polled were 45% liberal communist Jews, 35% blacks including New Black Panthers, Black Muslims, and other assorted black POS, 15% OWS, Greenpeace, SEIU and assorted union goons, 5% homosexuals and Hollyweird celebrities.

*

Actually Romney is stronger with Independents and they typically swing away from the incumbent according to what I’ve read. I hope they’re not wrong.

*

and you got to wonder how many blacks CBS called? hmm?

Ted Nugent Declares ‘I Will Either Be Dead or in Jail’ if Obama Is Re-elected

Excerpt: "Ted Nugent is hitting the pavement for GOP president hopeful Mitt Romney. The rocker called for attendees of the National Rifle Association’s convention to go out and recruit thousands of people to vote for Romney in the coming election. Nugent said, ”Our government is wiping its a– with the Constitution.”"

I love Ted's passion for freedom and RKBA.
It's his wisdom in siding with a Ivy league gun grabbing a$$hole that I take issue with.

I am honestly surprised to be alive right now after the last few years of Zero's Socialist reign. I'd be even more surprised to survive another four year of the same...

*

Asspress reported this with all their attempts at hysteria. What they didn't realize is that the truthfulness of his remarks stand in contrast to the media's daily smokescreen.

*

I don’t get it: Romney is more liberal than even Obama yet Ted is supporting Romney.

*

ABO is a very strong belief. I struggle with it daily. I'm am furious that a weak no conviction lying liberal butthead will possibly garner the GOP-e nomination. And then I consider Zero and the dark minions in his administration and I think ABO.

*

“I don’t get it: Romney is more liberal than even Obama yet Ted is supporting Romney.”

You’re right. You DON’T get it.

*

Anyone seen any bumperstickers reading, “Da Bro’ Gotta Go!”?

*

Four MORE years of Obama would be MUCH worse. A nightmare!

*

Obama is a COMMUNIST not a liberal.

*

I’m with you Ted!...If this disaster gets re-elected it’s over for America as we know it!

*

Romney has made some awful mistakes, and has some awful positions, but there's simply no way that he is as bad as Fauxobama. I'm am seething mad at the lack of choice that we have (and will still vote for Gingrich in the TX primary next month, regardless of whether he's in the race or not), but Fauxbama is the enemy. Just like the US allied with the Soviet Union in WW2 to get rid of Hitler, so must conservatives ally with Mittbots to get rid of Fauxbama. Just like we got rid of the Soviets over the ensuing years, so we will get rid of the Mittbots and restore our Republic - but we must first survive as a modestly free nation before we can do that.

Yeah, Romney rots - but he's not Fauxbama. Besides, if we have a reasonably solid conservative majority in Congress, we can stop the worst aspects of Mitt's liberal tendencies. He, unlike Fauxbama, has some respect for the law and won't be issuing Executive Orders all the time in order to undercut the Congress and all of us. He's at least somewhat persuadable - unlike the Manchurian Candidate in the WH.

*

If you could go back and get rid of the politicians that brought us the Income Tax, or the administrations that brought us SSIP, Medicare, Medicaid and the WOsD programs, would you do it?

Obamacare is all of that rolled into one giant liberty stealing program. Yes, Mitt MIGHT do something, but we all know that Obama WILL do something. He already has. If the USSC does not overturn it, then we MUST repeal it now or it will never be repealed.

I prefer to play russian roulette with one bullet in the chamber instead of filling all of the chambers.

*

Your Russian Roulette analogy is backward. Romney would effectively provide all six rounds. If Obama won, the very fact that Republicans had so soundly rejected liberal Romney, would empty most of the cylinders.
You say Mitt might do something? THIS IS THE MAN WHO DESIGNED AND IMPLEMENTED THE MODEL FOR OBAMACARE! Hello???? Observation indicates that it's probable that his vanity and pride are as wrapped up in seeing it pass as Obama's. Romney's registration as a Republican is a beard that, sadly, few are willing to allow themselves to see through becasue they are so blindly fearful of Obama, and they are paralyzed with fear because they have fallen for all the hype attributing omnipotent powers to Obama. But because Romney is a Republican, HE would have the greater power (and would very likely use it) in destroying limited government conservatism, which is the ONLY political defender of our freedom.

The most substantial thing better about Obama than Romney, is that Obama is a Democrat.

Romney has a long, documented record of PROMOTING liberal policies on the five major issues -- cap-and-trade, nationalized health care, subsidized abortion on demand, activist liberal judges, and the homosexual agenda.

And it's just SAD to see folks here hanging on to the ridiculous hope that "If we can just maintain a conservative majority in Congress, we can hold Romney's feet to the fire." Yeah -- and if we can just talk enough sense into cats, we can get them to love going to NASCAR races.

Fear makes people do stupid things -- like vote to surrender everything the Republican party needs to DEFEND.

Marine Faces 'Other Than Honorable' Discharge Over Anti-Obama Facebook Comment

Views on this are split, since there are quite a few military families on FR.

We can only hope that the next real president will be able to overturn this injustice and restore this patriot’s honor.

*

Soldier nailed by Obama Nazis. The Progressive Communist pan Leninists mean business. The soldier is lucky to be alive, unlike Breitbart who died after vowing to tell the truth about Obama.

*

"He knew the rules. He clearly violated them, & dishonored himself in the process. Very stupid & very sad."

agree that the Marine was mistaken about what he was allowed to say and what he wasn’t allowed to say. I don’t think he dishonored himself.

1. He can’t conduct his personal opinions on a government computer.

2. He can’t speak contemptuously of his commander-in-chief (or any commander, actually). Let him say, “Screw Captain Jones!”, his company commander, and see what that gets him.

3. He can’t give the impression he is speaking as a Marine or on behalf of the Marines, any disclaimers notwithstanding. (I think his website was something about Marine tea party, or Marine protest.)

None of the above is dishonorable, in my opinion. In fact, it doesn’t rise to the level of court martial, if you ask me. I think it was non-judicial, letter of reprimand to the official file kind of stuff. And that would have ended his career in that he would have failed promotion, and it would have been far more quiet and dignified of the Marine Corps to have handled it in this manner.

*

if the commander in chief had ordered him via his commanders to commit war crimes, he would have had a legal precedent to disobey.

other than that, he signed an oath and was duty bound to obey his superiors.

I find this fascination with putting ones life out there for all to see on facebook disquieting at best.

*

I can only hope that Americans choose a next Congress carefully - that my fellow Americans do not send “useful idiots” to Congress but Patriots who will insist on the IMPEACHMENT of any Pagan Communist like Obama-or any of his Administration.

*

So when does John Hanoi Kerry get booted out for his anti Soldier comments on Iraq, Afghanistan and Viet Nam. I am not a war criminal or a baby killer.

"Hanoi Kerry had already been booted. That’s what the discharge upgrade program under Carter was about."

He made his comments on Afghanistan and Iran during the Bush Administration which was after his supposed DD before Carter. He is still in the Senate so he has not been booted yet.

*

Hey Barack O’Quota Baby...just remember that that marine made the mistake of saying openly what virtually all of our military thinks of your sorry illegal *ss.

*

Obama’s not fit to shine this Marine’s shoes.

*

I also want the next president to overturn the injustice done to LTC Lakin.
Can you imagine if - even Romeny - were to casually make the statement in a press conference, "the first week of my administration, I will reinstate all benefits to LTC Lakin and expunge the injustice done to his record." The left would go apoplectic. Mittens wouldn't have to say anything for or against the eligibility issue, but it would instantly be up in front of the public. Arpaio's findings would be front and center. Mittens could just say, I am not discussing the presidents eligibility. It is a decision that each American has to consider when voting in November. :-) I can hope and dream, right?

*

“Nonsense. The rules are clear, and he knew what they were. He blew it.”

I actually applaud him for thinking it. I think it’s possible a 2nd term Obama might try to become President for Life. On the other hand Obama, legitimately or not, is CIC and you can’t publicly announce your intention to disobey your superior officers.
