Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Sotomayor

[sadulkmali]

We hit it off so well after another visit busizz4me.info

[tarpumpphillips]

Who cares, we all know that the Republican Party is racist. How people like Michael Steele could be a republican is beyond me. I seem to think that Michael Steele will be sorry in medium/long term with the party.

[o8QWERTYo8]

13 to 6?

really?

S I X ??????

[dukenthaylor]

aaaah...Turtle Nut moment...aaaaaaah!!

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

What is so great about being great? What is so great about having the weakest, worst social benefit system? What's so great about a financial system that irresponsible in creating rapidly recurring recessions? What's so great about spending your way top social collapse?

[imbeachasbro]

Maybe it's because she is a woman and Obama recomemmed her.

[mnkittel]

Notice it's only white people that say "this should be a colorless society." Now why do you suppose that is?

[MrSmartBob]

We know why that is.

[GaddingImp]

because they want conformity not diversity

[TracyInsomiac]

I wish I could have more than one thumbs up!  They sure never say they want a colorful society.

[tomitstube]

thanks to tyt, rachel, olbermann, maher, etc, you/me/we can finally get an answer to all the right wing lies and distortions. it's been the republican trademark since richard nixon. "wedge" politics, and "trickle down" economics can finally be laid to rest if everyone stays vigilant and doesn't let one single lie get through!

[tomitstube]

republicans should get used to defeat.

they're going the way of the wig party. several similarities. much like 150 years ago, their downfall will be race. instead of becoming mainstream and more inclusive, repubs increasingly are racially rigid. neo-cons have been reduced to this negative message of fringe obstructionists, with no real solutions.

it would seem as if the republican mandate is solely to distort everything obama says and does.

[Fred13B]

Grassley -- then what did you think of the Supreme Court decision to extend the right of eminent domain to allow mall developers to take people's homes from them?

[harr77]

So happy when I heard about this.

[Silveracity]

Didn't make me happy, but was pretty sure she could have done just about anything and get approved.

Oh well, yet another chance lost.

[omiteru]

If these GOP senators had some real valid argument, we could agree or disagree. However, they have none. They seem more concerned with retaining voters who will never vote for the Democrats, than trying to appeal to other groups. A low information vote might believe their nonsense. This act has nothing to do with Sotomayor, but with Obama.

[DaReal2k9]

Republicans blame everybody of color as being racist in order to cover up their own racist views.

[inuking]

seconded.

[Silveracity]

Only Republicans do that?

[DaReal2k9]

Yup

[DaReal2k9]

At the end of the day Republican will find an excuse to blame EVERYBODY for being racist and how they can't do their job. Republicans must have been hit pretty hard by the recession, they have nothing better to do than to watch a Liberal talk show DAY AFTER DAY that is NOT made for their 1870 view points

[granulorhoek]

I realize you're fractured in head in some way, but let's try an experiment. Replace 'gun' with 'tv' and hit replay. The mysterious THEY are going to take your tv's away!! You see how crazy you sound? How many people do you think the gov't has working for it to come and take all of the 500k+ firearms away from its citizens?

[DjRareware]

this guy is so fucking boring,the show without cenk sucked

[TEKM0SIS]

where cenk?

[dragonflychainsaw]

i agree thank god they are so outnumbered we have seen this happen before a clutch group tries to block everything what sucks is that valuable time is wasted trying to sort through it and in meantime it shows just how partisan they really are which shows me they dont have the best intrest of the country at heart

[czubspenx]

A woman that is a known racist is approved to be a Supreme Court Justice. Unbelievable.

[Piko6262]

how is she a known racist? Please explain your claim...

[czubspenx]

Read up on how she ruled in the Firefighters case. It was all over the news. Unbelievable decision she made as an appelate court judge and how she was overruled by the Supreme Court. She is a total racist.

[Xaklyth]

I actually agree with the firefighters in this case but she was clearly following previous supreme court rulings when she made hers. The supreme court in overturning her case also overturned the past 50 years of similar cases. Does this mean the past supreme court justices are racists/idiots/bigots. Your flagrant ignorance of anything is astounding to the point that one has to wonder whether or not you were born with a functioning nervous system.

[czubspenx]

"Does this mean the past supreme court justices are racists/idiots/bigots." Like I said below, you better get a hold of the current Supreme Court Justices and ask them. I'm not the one that made the decsion. I'm just the messenger.

[Piko6262]

that is a AWESOME way to say that he's an idiot ;-)

[orishas2000]

"Unbelievable decision she made as an appelate court judge"

No, 11 of the 21 judges that presided over the Ricci v. Destephano case ruled in concordance with her ruling and cited the long-standing legal precedent and the purpose of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as their rationale, are you implying that these judges are racist as well?

[czubspenx]

I guess you need to get a hold of the current Supreme Court Justices and ask them. Let me know what they say. Thanks.

[orishas2000]

I've already told you what they've said and how they ruled, if the above was enough for you to claim Sotomayor was a "total racist", why isn't that enough for you to claim the other judges were "total racists"?

Is it because Sotomayor's ruling was not an "unbelievable decision" but one that was well supported by legal precedent and the law?

Is it because the real reason you said Sotomayor was a racist was because that's what your were told to think?

[orishas2000]

*you

[omiteru]

We have heard that nonsensical argument many times. Why not brand the other judges that agree with her in the ruling as racist. It must be because she is being nominated for the Supreme court. However, since the other judges are not, they are not racist.

Just like some GOP senators that were fixated by her wise Latino comment and race, you are more concern with her ethnicity/culture than her judicial record.

The real question is whether or not you are a racist.

[czubspenx]

I'm just a white guy that get's tired of everyone playing the race card. The USA should be a colorless society. Hopefully, I am entitled to my own opinion.

[imbeachasbro]

Hehe I wish that was the case.

[omiteru]

I am a person who is tired of people using the fictional construct of race, which is distinct difference for culture/ethnicity. Latino is a culture/ethnicity. They include people whose recent ancestors came from the countries in Asia, Europe and Africa.

Yes, everyone is allow their opinion. However, someone else has right to either agree with them, or challenge them on the facts.

[omiteru]

One would believe that a person who wants "a colourless society," would use "just a guy."

[Piko6262]

Haha, good catch :p

[shadowcnidarian]

EAHHH I'm nasally Grassely EAHHH

[Tremordeth]

Grassely = Douchebag

[lolointro1]

this show sucks without cenk leading the way

[calibush]

he'll be back on thursday, be patient.

Michael knows his stuff, but isn't as entertaining as Cenk :)

Enjoy your day...

[BigMrFirebird]

But at least Anna gets a word in edgeways. Have you seen how often Cenk cuts her off? Love this show but Cenk needs to give the girl enough respect to let her say her piece before he chimes in. Thanks for standing in, Michael.

[megamarsvin]

I guess so but I don't honestly remember the last time Ana had an opinion on anything outside the entertainment hour any way. I don't think she chimed in at all during Michael's time last night did she?

[BigMrFirebird]

Probanly not. But look at all the clips when she's about to give a point of view on whatever, but Cenk butts in. She always looks away to her left and bites her lower lip. Man, Cenk needs to give this girl a little more credit for her point of view rather than just cutting her off as if to say "I'm the star of the show". The show's great, just let Ana breathe, you know?

[megamarsvin]

I don't know that Ana is that fragile but I see what you mean :)

[GhostShadowlord]

The American dollar is not made of papar.

[beeohhski]

yeah but its a defeated laugh its like jews in america during ww2 they laughed at hitler because they knew that they were safe when your not safe who do you want to be allied with because we have litteraly scraped a ton of trash off the planet and yeah we took out some innocent people but who cares those people werent americans and you got to kill a few nice people to get all the bad ones which isnt really a big deal because the peopel they brainwashed kill with no heart ,,|,_

[DMBassistSR305]

(@ lolaga) Yet America has a constant influx of immigrants seeking the promise of a better life in America. You may do whatever you please in the Netherlands. If you feel like laughing at us that's just fine. Your negative attitude will never change the fact that America is the greatest country on Earth today and even with the mistakes America has made the world as a whole is a better place with America leading the way.

[sidvidle]

Sorry, I think Sweden is the best country on Earth and the envy of all...

[DMBassistSR305]

I'm sure Sweden is a wonderful country and I have nothing against it or any other country for that matter. However no nation can rival the influence and greatness of America in the modern world. That doesn't mean America is number 1 in everything, but America's influence on all other nations is indisputable.

[zakkmiester]

greatness? not necessarily, influence is true though.

[sidvidle]

No nation can rival the influence and greatness??? I'm sorry, you need to start watching news and films that are not American. You as a nation have been tricked into beleiving this ''greatness'' fantasy for too long, in the only motive to better control you sadly... Influence is beneficiary but not necessarily good, if I shoot someone to win an argument, am I right? That's just called bullying. And what's the point of being the richest but it's just an illusion, when you are the most in debt?

[DMBassistSR305]

I was born in America but lived most of my life aboard. I've spent my childhood living in Germany and Australia. So I've seen America from both the outside and the inside. This "illusion" is clearly shared by many all over the world. America has made mistakes and done nations wrong however this notion that America somehow has a diminished status around the world is clearly pushed by a vocal minority out shouting the majority, a common occurrence in todays world. Hating America is the new chic.

[sidvidle]

!) It is not an ''illusion'' as you put it, poor foreign policy, cowboy style; we come and conquer is the problem.

2)If it is shared by many and unrelated ppl it is called a REALITY, and are they all wrong (go ahead blame the victim)

3)The rest of the world does NOT HATE AMERICAN INDIVIDUALS but the hipocrisy of the CIA and Administrations doing all this undemocratic shit in your name. The ppl that should get really pissed are the US peeps, dude! They are making YOU look bad. Elect wisely!

[DMBassistSR305]

While I disagree with some of the more hawkish policies of some elected officials I in no way feel America somehow doesn't have a right to defend its sovereignty and supremacy. Many people have demonized the actions of superpowers throughout history. However when a singular superpower is no were to be found what happens? Massive power struggles that often lead to far more death then the actions of that singular superpower. I serious doubt WWIII is being prevented by brilliant Canadian wit.

[sidvidle]

Nobody attacked your sovereignty, funny you should use that as an argument because that is really what other countries are blaming the US for. And your ''SUPREMACY'', sorry thought I was having a rational conversation. LOL, and why do you insist on attacking Canadian wit??? Oh right, your supremacy... It is this attitude that I was refering to, thanks for proving my point for me! Don't discount diplomatic effort of your greatest ally. It's when greed and corruption run superpowers that ppl r mad

[DMBassistSR305]

I have no attitude however I do sense an air of arrogance with your comments. America has no problem with using diplomacy but without military might backing it up diplomacy is just useless words. Canada is clearly not our greatest ally that honor would imo go to Great Britain. I have no intention to attack Canadian wit but I don't see the influence of Canadian words to contain global terrorism or taking the leadership position to help the economical recession.

[Silveracity]

Why do you call yourself:

"WE" and or "OUR"?

 Are you one person?

[Silveracity]

You have no idea what i am talking about do you?

[PeterOrszagCallMe]

Unfortunately, Hatch is from Utah where crazy conservatives are born. The only hope is if enough people move there to offset the whacko voters. Even the young people there are pretty hardline conservative.

[flaimbait]

so your dont hate us out of envy, you hate us out of stupidity/ignorance? and i'd like to think most of the african countries europe fucked over envies us

[sidvidle]

WHy do you want African nations to envy you??? And why do you assume that only europe fucked them up as you put it? Do you have any idea how the US empire was built? LOL

[sidvidle]

You are simply insane, incoherent and ignorant... Aids is not only an African problem and why do you wish death over a whole continent??? You should care about Africa, it is where a lot of resources come from and in this day and age we all depend on each other for survival, period. If you think the US can survive alone in this planet you are profoundly stupid and arrogant; a dangerous combination... For the rest of us that is...

[avitiltal]

This is the same Chuck Grassly that you yourselves (TYT) commented on in your video

"Republican Accidently Admits Government Healthcare Better"

Anyone reading this comment - please go to the above video and you'll see (and hear) what Chuck Grassley is about - an aloof, unbelievebly limited, sick and mean excuse for a human being who doesn't give a damn about us and doesn't want to know or learn the first thing about what it means to be a human being.

[DMBassistSR305]

(@ lolaga) People have been preaching the death of America for centuries. They look at every national crisis and ring their hands going "this is it". However we never die, in fact we come back stronger then ever. We gladly take on the burdens of the world because were the only one who can. Many nations throughout the years have needed our help, including the Netherlands and we helped without question. But as they say if people aren't hating on you, its because you're not doing your game right.

[Richardgwm]

Lindsey is going to have to beg forgiveness from Rush.

[philhuddy]

I really can't watch these videos without Cenk. No offense to the other ppl on the show, but I think everyones more entertaining when they're interacting with Cenk.

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

Circuit court cases are ALWAYS appealed, usually successfully. In fact, up to the Supreme court, ever case below the Supreme Court's ruling is always following this pattern: Judgment, appeal, move to higher court. Judgment, appeal, move to higher court. Judgment, appeal, move to higher court.

Grassley knows NOTHING about the judiciary system, and tries to stain Sotomayor's judgment with some totally irrelevant garbage like that. What an idiot.

[crazyassgerman]

Not only a racists but BUTT ugly.

[rextrek]

Grassley is just upset cause' Marriage Equality was approved in Iowa...he needs to drop dead!

[Lorenzo312]

What a jerk. I guarantee wherever you are from, your exchange rate is based on the dollar, and if not, you are experiencing hyperinflation. And when you start off your comment with hahaha, you instantly sound like sound some villain from a child's cartoon.

[DrQuijano]

Who is this dude?

[hypnofan35]

He's a Republican. It's like the Jehovah's Witnesses of politics. They are told what to say, and they know god is on their side, and they always try to act normal as a taylored suit. and shiney shoes. But with the Republicans they have power and doom is more of a promise than a prophecy.

[Silveracity]

Your country is a Cannabis coffee shop, 60% under sea level, with a the flood on the way, but you can only look to America to criticize.

[driverain2]

blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda...............

[pretorious700]

And further moves step by step th erosion of the judicial system and the rule of law. Constitution? Hey, that obscure piece of paper was written by white slave owners, so we can ignore it when it suits our idealogy. Hey, my personal outlook on the world is WAY more important than precedents or legal ramifications.

This country is sinking like a stone.

[NathanielFaunce]

This show needs Cenk. It's unwatchable without him.

[BIGLOU88]

stop crying slave masters you had a good run, NOW RUN WIGGERS LOL.

[guyNbluejeans]

Oh I think it's so wonderful that we have here a person of color that hates Caucasians as much as Obama does. Now we'll become sophisticated and enlightened because this lovely hatefreak of "white people" is going to use her second-rate intellect to righten past injustices. We'll all be so much richer due to this idiot having this gravy job for the next 30-years! THANK YOU SO MUCH OBAMA, YOU DA MAN! *belch*

[MrDustandechoes]

You're so full of shit. President Obama was raised by white people and is half white himself. Besides that he's never done anything in office to indicate any prejudace against whites.

[CarolinaPine]

He's projecting - he imagines that if he were a person of color, he would be prejudiced against whites, therefore, any person of color is prejudiced against whites. The facts mean nothing to him.

[mert828]

That's because, as a white man, he is prejudiced against persons of color. But that's what projecting means, huh. Sorry it's early.

[Bubba186]

I get tired of hearing Senator Assley in about 3 seconds, how does he get elected?

[JRey5thFlo]

Grassley?!?!?

Nooooooo!!!!

Damnit, don't represent me from Iowa!

Nooooooo!!!

=\

[SilkyDynamite]

3:03 : "And then you gotta remember, that eight out of ten of her cases that have been gone to the Supreme Court..."

I think he should have been gone to  grammar school more longerer.

[DanoDanny]

and i agree with you opinion, i'd say your name but it was never said in the video, ive seen you before, sorry tyt host

[jogeryjogo]

congrats liberals, through your heartless manipulation of the american people you have a racist unqualified minorty on the supreme court Democrats-1 Americans-0

[BIGLOU88]

so big deal same old shit just like the rest that were there before, it just bothers you because she just happens to be a hispanic.

[Gripen1974]

Arent americans democrates, latinos, black, jews, asian, women, gay or is americans only white hetrosexual males?

[mert828]

Sometimes I wonder. It depends on who you ask. I always though that they should add a clause to the last line of the pledge. "Liberty and justice for all rich white heterosexual men," because that seems to reflect the truth better than "Liberty and justice for all."

[Silveracity]

You, I would guess, feel you have been wronged in the past and may feel justified in discrimination against white heterosexual men.

I would guess you would then say:

No, I want everyone to be equal

But , and this is only a guess, what you would really like is:

"Liberty and justice for poor lesbian womyn only

[mert828]

No, I just don't turn a blind eye to discrimination all around me. Since I am not a poor lesbian, that would be a stupid goal, if I were self-centered, as you imply. I choose to see beyond the fences in my own back yard. I guess that's offensive to you. I can see by your other comments that you are a troll. I'm not going to respond further to your insolence.

[Silveracity]

Thanks for responding, sorry you feel that people you don't agree with are trolls. I thought it would be nice to talk to people, such are yourself, that do not agree with me.

[mert828]

Insulting people and making ridiculous assumptions about them is not a good way to civilly discuss or debate about a matter unless you are seven.

[crowdaddy13]

lindsey graham actually is less of a nutjob than most republicans. he always talks alot of shit along the way, because he knows that he has to appeal to his base. ive been suprised by his voting ever since ive been following him

[rickelmonoggin]

If he has to sound like such a jack-ass in order to appease his base, then he's maybe in the wrong party if he's not really like that.

[crowdaddy13]

im not saying hes not a dickhead republican, im just saying ive seen some of the things hes voted on and its funny how hes the only republican that votes one way while the others arent........i dont know, im not saying hes a good person by any means, just that his voting is sporatic and unpredictable.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Lindsay Graham is Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than Graham could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Graham wears the skirt in his family while his wife wears the pants!

[Tainted0Pker]

and DICKLESS AND BALLESS AND BITCH AND PUSSY AND DICKLESS AND BITCH AND BITCH AND PUSSY AND BALLNESS AND PUSSY AND DICKLESS AND BITCH!

yeah!

[Khazule]

hahaahhahahah

[criskity]

Grassley is a dick. I should know...I used to live in Iowa.

[ecwaufisxtreme]

You mean DICKLESS! Grassley is DICKLESS! All male politicians are DICKLESS and BALLESS!

[koolaidman]

wheres cenk ? =/

[SupremeCourtOfUSA]

he was in the restroom at the time

[ecwaufisxtreme]

When Palin becomes POTUS in 2013, she will DRIVE OUT ALL MEN and Liberals OFF the Supreme Court and have it comprised ENTIRELY of CONSERVATIVE WHITE WOMEN!

[roy383127]

Pretty sure there is a huge violation of checks and ballences in that move.

[Garsha321]

god damn how many dummy accounts do you have?

[yourmajezty]

lol, sure

[eldidder]

In your dream

[Gerafix]

And then they'll have massive lesbian orgies?!?!? The only question is whether they'll allow spectators in this new Supreme Cunt sport.

[FullOfFail]

I'm really surprised Graham voted for her.

[jshooper]

it's amazing to me how the republicans have decided that they only want to be a : white,male,rural,christian,con­servative party......and having made that decision so painfully clear , somehow they still have people trying to pretend that they are a party that represents "america".....70% of america isn't rural.... 50 % isn't male....and about 50% isn't white

[GreenDragonSage]

That exactly sums it up, nice job.

[dustmundo]

Just wanted to let TYT know that I noticed that they deleted my comment. My comment was at +8 when you deleted it too.

I've been a long time fan and supporter but I have to admit that I'm really disappointed to learn that TYT censors.

[stevend24]

wut did u say?

[nnamdi247]

Do you need some tissues?

[sugarpuddin88]

Preventative Indefinite Detention

Right after condemning Bush operating outside the law, Obama announced today that he will: Develop a legal strategy outside US Law & Military Law to indefinitely detain people who MIGHT commit a crime! What he calls preventive indefinite detention, (just like in the Tom Cruise Movie, Minority Report)!

So you can be locked up for 10 or more years without any trial, indictment, or hearing because of what someone thinks you MIGHT do sometime in the future!

[trajan74]

I will guarantee Graham changes his vote in the next step of appointment in the general senate vote.

[Aggiesgigem]

Haha did my comment about how HTWW slammed you get deleted?

[godlessKnowledge]

When did the greek guy have a body transplant?

[Tyler1337Admin]

Quit your bitching, everyone. Now.

Good work, Shure.

[Rosannasfriend]

yeah, typical.

[rimarandhika]

Don't even bother with HTWW it will just get him more viewers.

[daiyamo126]

i actually sort of like this guy

[hdzsound]

american politics is so mush entertement then canadian one

[KidFromNewYork]

Michael Shure has more of a sneaky, calm, high maintenance humor about him. I'd advise him to come up with some catchphrases and shit.

[ndvuncle]

What, no Ana today? Fuck Cenk, I only watch to see Ana. I'll have to find spank material elsewhere tonight.

[StewieSwan]

Pathetic

[ndvuncle]

Fuck you, Stewie. Keep your shit talk to yourself, bitch.

[StewieSwan]

Ooh internet tough guy. I'm real scared of you

[ndvuncle]

Yeah, you start the shit talk safely behind a computer. Fuck off you little puss, Stewie.

[Iacrodgers]

I just watched the Htww's video about TYT, and it just made me laugh.

"Wah wah wah, they've got so many subscribers, who dont have the time to listen to a 3 hour show, so need to get the highlights on Youtube every day about issues they are interested in and care about - and (acording to me) this is such a bad thing"

Htww is an idiot.

I dont care if TYT ignores or gets in a conflict with this punk,

I will still enjoy TYT daily, cos its interesting, funny, and i like it.

Thanks

[NoobZandwich]

Thanks for telling us about this. I just one starred his video and left a comment.

[l0gically]

I'm wondering where this "lack of respect for private property" comes from.

[IndiMusicLover]

The Republican party is greedy white businessmen and the hicks/religious nuts that get manipulated into voting for them.

[nauiocelotl]

latino means white (southern europeon) , hispanic means white (spaniard) Mexican means Mexica indigenou NIcan Tlaca !
