[YoungBudd]

[robinvan1983]

Lindsey Graham: "America is not bad; we will hold Al-Qaeda in prison until they die. " Wtf?

[AtheistOnTheEdge]

I think every Republican windbag has his or her beedy little eyes on the leadership of the GOP, so they're using every opportuinty they get to hog the limelight and further their political career.

[terrence0258]

Republicans spent weeks saying her hearing should be delayed because of her extensive record, then they spent the entire week quoting a sentence from a speech.

[ver506]

Lindsey Graham needs to get laid ASAP!!!!!!

It's like he's been holding this in for so long, and he's taking it all out on Sotomayor. C'mon now....

[mclev]

I'm pretty sure he's a closeted homosexual.

[notscooter952]

You mean the wise republican senator from... everywhere? Right?

[ver506]

in that case, he needs to hook up with a male prostitute ASAP....he needs to calm down!

[gigantibyte]

As a Canadian observer, I'm curious why most judges in the U.S. are elected, and yet Supreme Court judges are appointed for life. Can someone explain the non partisan benefits?

[jsalvo1]

it was designed that way as a safety so that the politics of the country doesn't change too quickly.

[marniespeaks]

many states elect their judges - those appointed usually end up running

As keepers of the Constitution Federal Judges are appointed

[pinheadpinhead23]

Well done, TPM. Also, the liveblog is quality.

[nspredator55]

arg im a stupid conservative redneck that likes to shoot things blah blah blah

[princessangieangela]

I know a socialite name sonya she likes nun chucks yeah!!!!

[mike50333]

How do we keep getting to nun chucks? lol

[fishhead06]

If I hear the phrase "wise latina" one more time, I'm gonna plotz.

[sachaput]

They have nothing...NOTHING!!! I wish they would put these wackos in a hole and close it up.

Like to see them in Gitmo for even a week and waterboarded once. See how manly they are then.

HEADLINE: Ignorant White Conservatives Feel Threatened by Wise Latina Supreme Court Nominee.

[eros1057]

or perhaps the headline could read: Ignorant gun loving southern conservatives fear wise Latina may take away our right to bear nun chucks.

[Uwiluz60]

Very boring news day !

[Product1999]

why do you people love guns so freaking much...its a bit unnerving....as far as i'm concerned southerners gave up their gun rights by starting the civil war.

[eurohim]

She's staying the stuff you'd want to hear about obeying the constitution and following the law to the letter and not making it up as you go, but that doesn't match comments from her past, so I can't back her.

[elitemathlete]

Can you imagine her sitting next to Roberts, Scalia, Thomas and Mini Scalia?

Epic.

This lady rocks.

[states37]

Dag, name calling has been pretty much a bedrock of this culture, but when somebody refers to themselves as a member of a non white group, these Republicans will try to lay this "We're all American" crap on everybody. Republicans are so lame.

[k166a]

Is it over yet?

[justsumdude899]

Great, now can these pompous assholes actually get something done?

[Eldrad235]

man those republcans where all giving her a hard time

[zndprophet]

Why did this entire hearing feel like watching Rosewood?

[bobhardball]

This "skinny guy with a funny name" in The White House is really smart. First he beat the hell out of McCain and the legendary GOP smear machine. Now he is about to turn the Hispanics away from the GOP with a polite, humble and high-qualified "wise latina woman". I don´t want to be the fellow conservative running against him in 2012. Not for all the money and gold of the world!!!

[jonr7007]

Someone has to count how many times Wise Latina was said in the last 4 days.

[3star2nr]

dude you cqn play a drinking game with the amount of times wise latina has been said

[SquallCloud]

Somebody needs to start an organization called "Wise Latina" now.

[Snoopies622]

Well I'm glad that nonsense is over.

[xonoma]

Im going to start hating my own race if I hear this fucking "Wise Latina" Comment. Cut the bull shit White Republicans. Yes I said that, and that is coming from a conservative white person in North Texas. Get the fuck over it, ive heard people of my own race say much worse shit. Get the hell over it holly shit.

[pokermaster54]

keep it up and soon you'll be a liberal

[tj5555555]

you're a fraud liberal posing as a conservative, full of self loathing and rightly should be. tj

[rkeppler3633]

Do you think she's a racist who will rule against white men every chance she gets? You really believe that?

[TheWayISeeIt1982]

I hope so lolololol

[tj5555555]

will not defend that which i did not say. your silly tactic is lame. yet she is a bigot. tj

[laleeloolelo]

You may call her whatever you want, but even Sessions admit that she will not be filibustered.

[pfannyguy]

Funny

[Maplesyrup41]

WISE LATINA U GO GIRL

[sailfished]

scientology advertising on tpmtv, thats about right

[benstevens19]

"Cocaine is a hell of a drug"!

[pstoltz9]
