Protesters, Supporters at Sotomayor Hearings

[punch2o]

we need more diversity in government period... im happy for Obama and Sotomayor

[65CL]

That was the point of ridiculous irony itself I was making. We waste time on meaningless crap while the country and the world go to hell. I wish that Supreme Court Justices were forced to retired at certain age. I do not trust potentially cenile judges there or in any other court by the same token making decisions on what is proper under the law.

[UnanimousDelivers]

And then the chicken leg went flying and hit Rosa Parks in the face, then everyone went all Kung Fu on each other and... oh wait, shit, that was Boondocks. Nevermind XD

[65CL]

I agree, and we cannot on who can we hire as firefighters to put the fire out.

[65CL]

Relax, please you are going to get a heart attack. Both parties are abusing their power & influence. That is the greatest beauty of America Democracy, watching the Status Quo hang themselves politically each time one side takes control of Government. Our enemies love see that, Putin, Chavez and Bin Laden among others know that outlasting us is the key to their final victory. Now we know what everyday Romans went through first hand as the once great Roman Empire slowly died.

[65CL]

Remember 1980, Reagan & Bush Senior winning the White House & Gindritch leading the Republican Revolution in Congress?. Even the Clinton White House was keep in check later on. Then Dumbo George came along with the Neo-Cons or Neo-Federalists (like I like to call then). I wonder how long Obama and the Socialist-Democrat Liberal Wing of the formerly democratic Party will last before the Donkeys join the Elephants at the bottom of the ravine of political self destruction. Mammoth hunting is in.

why are people more interested in the race/gender of a person. We should be judged by the content of our heart, not by the color of our skin is what Martinl Luther King said. I believe that is true. She should not be put in because she does not have the quality of someone who looks at the constitution and believe what it means from the founders. She will not be a constitutionaly minded judge but a judge who votes on her own feelings. i dont care what color you are, protect the constitution.

[bigtakeshi]

People need to stop bitching about politician's views and instead, encourage the pro-choice politicians towards a pro-life stance. People can bitch all they want but does it really do anything except paint them as fanatics!

Those two protestor's at the Judge's hearing didn't help their cause!

[whatsamidgetodo]

i used to be a democrat because republicans always got what they wanted. But now i see that they are no better, and i also see that democrats are just as arrogant as the republicans. Sotomayor is very likely to be picked, but it will be a step back for racism( her ruling on the firefighters) and a step back for this country.

LicentiousSlut, i agree with you, the republicans should've spoken their mind.

[fanablaspliff]

dont even dignify your self to respond to their foolishness. They just dont get it. they do what there told. there perfect slaves

[fanablaspliff]

i like your little writing below. Its nice that there are some people out their with a head on their shoulders.

[frekijsimpson]

you stupid cunt, you think you have it all figured out - lol

you're probably another fat slob that just wants to run her fat fucking mouth for attention in a negative manner.

what's the matter, everyone picks on you? I bet you have trouble sleeping at night since you know how to fix all the problems.

[frekijsimpson]

GET JOBS AND SHUT UP

[danielvincentkelley]

What good does having someone "on the court" who is a woman, if she has been thoroughly blackmailed, bribed, miseducated and is easily biased and prioritizing her own being above all else?

[gamfdub]

I'm the lowest of the low........I'm white, conservative,southern, and a male.....0 for 4....... so my opinion probably doesnt count as much as a wise latina woman but this abortion issue wouldnt come into play near as often if the ladies who dont want kids just kept their legs together....I understand rape situations and health to the mother issues......but I'm sure thats a very small percentage of abortions

[a1q2s3]

rape0.3 % (0.1-0.6 %) incest0.03 % (0.01-0.1 %) physical life of mother0.2 % (0.1-0.3 %) physical health of mother1.0 % (0.1-3 %) fetal health0.5 % (0.1-1.0 %) mental health of motherdepends on definition "personal choice" 98% (78-99 %) --too young/immature/not ready for responsibility --economic --to avoid adjusting life --mother single or in poor relationship --enough children already --sex selection Can we at least protect the other 98% of abortion babies based on poor decisions

[7jerryv7]

Personal decision

[truepaths]

she has ruled both pro and con abortion issues depending on the case, which tells me she's about giving women rights over their bodies without ignoring the other side. She sided with abortion protesters who sued the police for brutality and ruled to grant a Chinese woman extended amnesty on the basis that she faced forced birth control in her home country. That crazy Asian woman protesting Sotomayor's nomination is an idiot and needs to shoot herself in the head.

[humaner]

Wow I guess for abortionists torture is ok.

[raulguillarte]

MY siberian husky supports sotomayor's confirmation too!!!

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

I don't think she has made a statement on abortion rights yet. She's catholic so maybe she's a closet pro-lifer?

[GiovannaNYC]

I do not believe that Sotomayor is about supporting the Constitution but rather her own views. Theres nothing like institutionalizing racism in the Supreme Court for a life term

[darkchocosinger]

look how she whields the axes over the fake baby doll up and down over and over again. Freakin coocoo!

[seksisbad]

Wow. what's with the random scythe-waving?

[EuthanizeReligion]

I agree.

Why dont you moral crusaders light yourselves on fire? To feed that fire in your belly.

What i find funny is how the same Conservatives that want Government of our backs are the same ones that support the FCC, Want the Government to tell a woman what to do with their body, Want your kids to pray in school and Want the Government to put Creationism in school.

Talk about hypocrisy.

[angelboku1]

Just another reason for the teabaggers to come out of their caves and protest something else. Gotta love the nutty winglosers.

[Roonskii]

WOW! the anti Sotomayor people are whack jobs.

[abarzilai664]

That's according to how you make of a "whack job" is.

[davidmartin7777]

Why don't you Reich-wing, neo- fascist, RACIST, war loving Republicans douse yourselves with gasoline and immolate yourselves on the Capitol steps in protest like the Buddhist monks did protesting the Vietnam war?

Show us how much you love America...you'll make front page news, no question.

I'd be happy to contribute a can of gas and a match!

Do it for America!

[Squirelbutt]

LOL.. Reich-wing.. LOL..

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

How many racial statements need to be made before one can be considered racist?

The Supreme Court needs someone that is colorblind and decides on matters constitutionally.

Never mind how a person just happens to be at birth.

[ttoale]

Fuck all this - Would you really force a woman to give birth if it could cost her her own life?!?! And WTF, you want poor people to give birth to more and more poor people? The world is obviously over-populated as it is

[SantaBarbaraDianne]

I will take a Supreme Court of all black men or of any race or sex.

Too much importance put on how you just happen to come out at birth. It's the brain and the heart that matter in whoever gets nominated.

[HellsCowBoy666]

PROTECT R.V.W.

[diah4]

I cant help but wonder if when a protest that small happens, if it has any effect at all on the decision.

Now if it were like the protest in Iraq where people are going crazy, you cant help but notice, but when there's like 50 ppl outside, do the ppl inside really care?

[sharinganclan213]

its my opinion - wait, its a fact, actually - that she sounds weird, and has said racist comments.

[J8g1]

It's my opinion, she looks like a stuffed pig.

[arequipa1]

it's my opinion you have a small penis

[J8g1]

Go climb a tree ... Nigger.

[arequipa1]

is your penis tiny??

[arequipa1]

J8G1 HAS A SMALL PENIS!!!!

[J8g1]

Ask your mother ... she'll give you the real info. lol.

[arequipa1]

alright i asked her, and she told me it was fucking LITTLE!!!! UGH!

[petaunot]

It's my opinion,she will never be impartial.
