Sen. Graham: Sotomayor OK Barring 'Meltdown'

[wicaco]

Errrr 1:26 "Wise Latino"... No, Graham, she said "wise LATINA." Latinos are men, Latinas are women. It's the set-up to a hilarious observation steeped in white privilege, too. I hate when idiots like him make all of us gringos look bad.

[davmor63]

I love how Sen. Graham shared with her that "unless you have a meltdown, you're going to be confirmed." This paints true colors to the fact that affirmative action is happening even when we don't want to admit it. I am hispanic and it pains me to see "Latinos" use their experiences as "minorities" as a way to encourage other minorities to achieve the very same as those who didn't "grow up in the barrio." Get over it raza! It's 2010! We have the same opportunities and obstacles as non latinos.

Please don't make me watch Jimmy Dean sausage commercials before getting to the congressional content. This is not what I expect from YouTube. It demeans the content.

[Featheredman2009]

why is there a Scientology ad to my right? Does that seem odd to anyone? lol - Scientology is advertising on youtube?

[Featheredman2009]

you have to admit Sen. Lindsey Graham has that silver tongue, only problem is - it shows ..all over. In poker his tell would be speaking lol

[mycreature]

Sen. Lindsey Graham, once again, your rhetoric is

perfect pitch. Bravo!

[plasticsoldier41]

'and i don't think you will'

interesting play on words

[iViolin1990]

I know, it's like saying "you're in" O_O

[musictomyhears]

If you people argue about the comment from judge Sotomayor that a wise Latina can have a better judgment than white male I believe she tried to say a Latina coming from the poverty to the top of her class as judge can make better justice than a white rich male who does not have that kind of experience on their professional career that does not mean she is racist. Also check yourself what percentage of judges comes from affluent families and get your own conclusion.

[duvalians1]

Clearly you just don't get it.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.

Where in the aforementioned oath does it say ANYTHING about judging from her own personal circumstances?

[musictomyhears]

Most comments here secure that you people are after good ideals but look and analyze your own observation and you will see your attacks are more xenophobic than constructive of course no one will say I hate all people on color but your comments have a indirect understanding of creating hate.

[davidmartin7777]

The Republican party is dying a slow painful death... so much fun to watch you racist, fascists, lily white bigots dying of political leprosy.

The best thing would be for you bigots can do is reduce your carbon footprint by eating a bullet, eh?

[duvalians1]

KKK is a Democrat creation -- as are all other racist groups, like La Raza (The Race), and to this day the ONLY groups sponsoring them are Democrat, e.g., the ACLU.

Also, there are more card carrying Democrats who sponsor such racist groups than their are such group members -- not that there is any shortage of members who are Democrat.

Aside from smearing Democrat's racist stink on those who notice, you offer nothing but bouts of stupor.

[orangeleviathan]

I have to tell, albeit without any expectation of rectification, your comment was troubling and quite disgusting.

The accusation of 'racism' is thrown around way too much and to advocate murder and violence as you did is disturbing.

[hockeyfanredwings]

funny how you imply that sodomayor is NOT racist, when she has made racist comments. lol. I find that funny. she feels because she is puerto rican that shes better than you--but you are too stupid to see the bias and bigotry in that. ahhh democrats. If they were smarter I would hire them.

[davidmartin7777]

"overturned 90% of the time IDIOTS. "

In your fascist wet dreams.

Give me your address, I'll buy you a can of gasoline and a match.

[duvalians1]

Your incredulity isn't a rebuttal. Nope, just another one of the LONG lists of Liberal idiocies recited with no point or meaningful thought.

Liberals & Gibberish - Lifepartners

[davidmartin7777]

Let's all hope the fascist, racist, Reich-wingnuts start dousing themselves with gasoline and self-immolating on the Capitol steps in protest.

I'd love to see that!

[davidmartin7777]

So sweet to see the Reich-wing, neo-fascist right-wing, RACIST Republican nutjobs whipped up to a fever pitch... I"M LOVING IT!

[duvalians1]

So sweet to see the Ad Hominem liberal-fascists supporting racist, bigoted, overturned 90% of the time IDIOTS.

[9SolidSnake9]

This is Republicans way of politics for you. Personal attacks are all they can talk about, not ones qualification. It never ends. Blasting Obama for palling around with terrorist and calling him a terrorist and now Sotomayor is a racist.. What's next? My advice to 'em is keep it up.

[duvalians1]

Senators must press Sotomayor to explain what exact physiological differences between ethnicities and genders leads her to believe that some people make better judges than others.

[duvalians1]

" Court of Appeals is where policy is made " - sodomizer

" 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 hasnt lived that life. " - sodomizer

" whether by ignoring our differences as women or men of color we do a disservice both to the law and society. - sodomizer

Yep these statements are PERFECTLY aligned with the Judicial Oath, USC Title 28, Section 453.

[lifeline52002]

Oh well the Democratis Liberal Senators are happy as can be, with Sotomayor being name to be a Justice on the Supreme Court now they will not have to pass any or if they lose powre wish I hope they do in 2010, they will have a loaded Supreme Court to get legislation enected.

Oh yes Sotomayor will take her order form the Liberial Democratis and the

Democratic Party. Just like the other

Liberial Supreme Courts Judges and the Democratics Party. Plus she just my outlaw the Republicans.

[sugarpuddin88]

Gonzales gave a judgeship to Jay C. Bybee in exchange for writing a recommendation for torture; Bybee was given the judgeship for justifying war crimes! And when he did that, he got the judgeship!

Atty Gen Holder is using Bybees coerced memo as reason why he will not prosecute Bush-Cheney & CIA!

So in the White House, if you want to break the law, just bribe a lawyer to write you a letter saying it is OK!

USA gives tours of the crime scene, but no one is going to be arrested for the crime!

[sharinganclan213]

apparently if you dont like michael jackson, you are a racist.

[catch89]

yes I'm glad her voting record wasn't discussed at all by the Republicans lest I be yanked out of my comfortable stupor, wherein I assess the quality of judicial nominees based on short youtube videos of comments they made to law students years ago

[tbackes]

perfect the first opportunity sotomayor has to dismantle the second amendment she will, she will do the anointed ones bidding. oh by the way france is now pushing full throttle for the NEW WORLD 0RDER .

[mefilmmaking]

Your right. That's exactly why Sotomayor should be elected to hold the position that many ignorant "ill-cultured" man have held.

[steelar]

well... definitely a liberal. On record as better than the people around her and of the opinion that a Hispanic woman can make better decisions than a white male. **This person is not fit to be a Supreme court justice** The job is not one "for HER people" it is supposed to for "the people". Her confirmation will help bring the new social services so desperately wanted in the state of "Calexico" even faster....

[KingAssmar]

She's NYrican you fucking idiot bigot, not Mexican.

[sharinganclan213]

well a liberal, and slightly racist person is gonna be our new justice.

[mefilmmaking]

what in her past ruling makes her liberal and honestly what past judgements has she made that can be seen as questionable (due to racist accusations)??? Before you answer make sure you understand her past rulings, in its entirety.

[sharinganclan213]

Let me put it this way, as a white dude, i would never say that a white male would, can or reach a beter decision than an asian, blakc, hispanic or any other person. why? Because i know its not true. What she said lacks logic. it makes no sense. im not being racist against hispanics, i have hispanic friends. but what she said is nonsense.

[lifeline52002]

I seen her pass ruling and they are in question as to border line Racist but since your a Liberal and a Democratics

you can not see pass our noise.

Oh well bet you would like to see her and the other 4 Liberial Judges say the

Republicans and member of that party

should be out law and only one Party

Rule Democratics , well i this happen

their would be an all out war of the American People against it Goverment.

[spyderwalk]

First!
