  • Ive noticed that no matter what you look up on youtube. If you mention the word liberal this young turk fucker pops up. Youtube blows and censors the conservative side. Wow why did I think that the damn internet would be any different than MSNBC or FOX NEWS. ?? Why do libs think that conservatives shouldnt even have the right to speak? Ill tell you why. They KNOW that people will side with the conservatives and they will NOT tolorate free speech. Look at Hitler. He was a crazy ass tyranicle lib

  • sotomayer is the epitome of racism yet tyt calls the gop dirty? its more like sotmayers the dirty one and you've just been exposed as liars on your show once again yungturds.

  • As a Caucasian male, I somehow get the feeling that a lot of these so-called people of color are doing everything they can to remove whitey from all places of power and prestige (over the course of time). But I wonder, if they're successful in achieving their agenda, what do they think will happen to the standard of living they enjoy? After all, didn't the dreaded "white male" have just about everything to do with establishing it?

    Nigeria, Salami, Mexico, ... move over -- here we come!!!

  • Is this guy "The Young Turd"?

    LMAO!

  • It's funny how the Democratic Party of The Young Turks whines about racebaiting, yet the people who support that site didn't want Clarence Thomas or Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court.

  • Sonia Sotomayor is a brown supremacist. She deserves to be attacked for supporting racist quotas.

  • Once the GOP takes back the Senate and the Presidency,Obama will be exposed and she will be impeached if she doesn't resign.

  • If the Yankees don't sign Jeter,for whom is Sotomayor to root once Obama is disqualified and she's exiled back to the Bronx?

  • The Young Turks are obviously angling for some of the Soros money. They need to rename themselves as the Circle Jerks. They are nothing but more left wing echo chamber for the Washington DC incest that is the antithesis of the freedom from ivory tower central planning that made America number one in the world, but is now severely threatened by the thinking of the sort that is relayed by the Circle Jerks.

  • how did I know this far left show would be defending this racist bitch who doesnt belong in any facet of politics much less the supreme court justice..

  • And what about the Democrats' smear campaign against the New Haven firefighters?

  • SOTOMAYOR!  Go get them bitchass!!

  • SOTOMAYOR ! Go get them bitchass!

  • Reading this is funny and sad in the same vein.

  • @TSquared2001 thats the way I see too

  • @TSquared2001 thats the way I see it too.

  • Sonia Sotomayor is a racist after what she did to those New Haven firefighters, telling them they can't get promoted even after passing an exam because they're the wrong ethnic background.

  • Hey whats up! I loved your channel!

    Its cool. Check out mine! Stay in touch. Hope you got my friend request! Maybe you can sub This is for everybody who see this add me as a friend and subscribe thanks

  • She is intelligent, agressive , honest and worst of all a woman. The good ole boys of the "grand ole party of the south" are banging their heads together with fear.

  • Sonia Sotomayor is a racist after what she did to those New Haven firefighters, telling them they can't get promoted even after passing an exam because they're the wrong ethnic background.

    You liberals probably got all upset and your heads exploded when you found out that brown supremacist Sotomayor's decision was overturned and those firefighters got the promotions they deserve.

  • so you dont care she ruled that firefighters cant get promoted since not enough non whites passed the test?

  • @MrRgilley You hit the nail on the head.

  • A person who is appointed to the highest court in the country has a history of making racist statements and we're not allowed to criticize her or the idiot that nominated her?

  • I think TYT should make a video about the liberal's dirty attacks on Sarah Palin. Wait, TYT is one of the groups making these dirty attacks.

    Nobody does partisan double-standards harder than Cenk.

  • One more thing, I'm all about taking responsibility; the difference is that you're a revisionist, I'm not. And ask for Mexico's corruption: Americans and the 14 years of prohibition are to blame for that. Americans went south to get drunk, gambled, did drugs, that brought the illicit behavior and cartels. Poverty and immigration were virtually non-existent before and during prohibition. It was only after Americans touched that land with their debauchery and greed that things went bad.

  • Dude stfu.

    You're clearly a racist wanting to blame whitey for all the ills of the world.

  • I'm not blaming whitey for all the worlds ills, I'm just blaming whitey for the problems he has created. I bet you didn't hit the reply button on the racists in this blog talking shit about Blacks and Latino's. You're full of shit and a RACIST. You want to call me out because you think I'm a racist. I haven't seen you comment on other persons on this blog talking shit on Blacks or Latino's. I never met a racist who thought he was a hypocrite or revisionist. You're a racist and make my case.

  • No yuo.

    Do you respond to people who are putting down whitey?

    No.

    Plus you make racial bullshit comments.

    That would make you equal to me plus blatant bigotry.

    I still win.

    Try to turn it around all you want.

  • First off, I respond to all racial bullshit. And I'm not turning anything around. Your just pissed because I called you out on your racial bias and prejudices. Remember, you're the one referring to whites as,"whitey". Oh yeah, grow up. This issue isn't about getting a "win". You talk about "blatant bigotry", like calling someone "whitey" isn't offensive. Once again, you've proved my point about racists and bigots like you being hypocrites and revisionist.

  • What a lame response.

    Its call para-phrasing. And considering I'm white I'm allowed to say Whitey.

    But go ahead respond with whatever farcical attempt you can can think of to go for the "win"

    If its not about the "win" why do you keep responding? Especially with that last post which was nothing more than a 5 year olds "is not" retort.

    You may now have the last word.

  • Funny thing, Harvard University reported that 45,000 Americans die every year because they have no access to health care. That's the equivalent of about 15 9/11's White people kill and murder more than any ethnic minority! The difference is their killings are legally made through the law. Ethnic minorities may commit cliche street crimes as well as whites. But when its comes to mass murder, and cannibalism, white people clearly take the 1st place trophy.

  • Have you not heard of the place called Africa? Blacks kill blacks on a daily basis. You should go to Africa and stop the killing. Oh, while you are on your mission stop off in Mexico and fix the corruption. When you are finished with your missions you should do some research. Ethnic minorities commit more crime per capita than whites, and whites contribute more to the US economy than welfare recipients and illegal imigrants. Not to say that there are no white welfare recipents. They suck too.

  • Have you ever heard of a place called Iraq and Afghanistan? Do you know how many people the U.S. killed alone with sanctions against Iraq? Isn't it a coincidence, even though ethnic minorities commit more crime per capita as you say; disparities such as economic, criminal, housing, income, eduction still exist. Oh yeah, in the early 1990's whites were the biggest recipients of welfare!

  • Thousands of people have been killed in Mexico such as cops; judges, politicians, community leaders, military, and police chiefs. Those people were killed by Americans buying drugs which keeps the cartels in business and allows the cartels to buy guns from the U.S. which kills innocent people in Mexico and the U.S. The cartels number one cash cow is weed, and Americans are keeping them in business. The number one consumer of weed in the U.S. are NOT ethnic minorities. They are white people!

  • Then why are all the "Gangs" in California black and Latino....? You sound more stupid the more I read your comments. You must be a minority member. Mexico is corrupt because the people are corrupt. When you come from squalor you will do anything to get ahead. How old is the average prostitute in Mexico? Mexico is to blame for Mexico's condition not the U.S! Take responsibility for your own actions. If you blame others you will never better yourself.

  • Funny thing, you forgot to mention the growing number of anti government nuts which are primarily white and training with firearms These nuts have been growing ever since the election. McVeigh killed 187 people including 19 infants in a terrorist attack and bombed a federal building; Bruce Ivins killed 5 people by mailing out anthrax, the KKK made threats to kill the president. How many Latinos and blacks have blown up a federal buildings?

  • You suck. You're wrong...

  • Crimestats, Minorities make up less than 20% of the Population yet commit on average 86% of all crime.

    Deal with the facts you racist piece of shit!

    You can always move to South Africa............

  • Honkites can alway go back to their caves in Europe too. Squatting and occupation doesnt make you an owner of a territory. Lets not forget that 97% of White collar crime goes undetected .. and then there is the legal corporado crime... all committed by honkite eurotrash pretending to be Amerikkkun ... this kind of crime costs 1000 times more than petty crime... check your DNA pink skinned piglets... you'll find that you are NOT true Americans .. decendants of european criminals and pedophiles

  • and I will give you that point that white collar crime sucks also, these big companies bankrupted alot of people but that is a whole other topic. Why dont you lobby the liberal, minority favoring congress to do something about it instead of blaming tax paying honest people. Minorities keep the liberals in power so its your fault.

  • You're an idiot. Shut up, and try to do something useful with your pathetic existence.

  • Check the crime stats, you racist moron.

  • Crime Stats... 12 Million Immigrants do not cost the country as much as a few pink honkie corporate criminals... look at the current economy ... look at the Madoff incident... look at the savings and loan scandals..... Lets not forget the 92% of cracker corporate criminals who steal the country blind and conveniently never get caught.... honkites brought the scourge of Europe to the Americas... and their children continue the legecy...

  • You're such an ignorant joke. Enjoy your welfare check that MAINLY WHITES pay for. No I am not racist. MLK would be disgusted by someone like you.

  • Self proclaimed squatters and land theives calling themselves Amerikkkuns should just stick to meth and spooning of small boys... yeah .. thats all your good for .. keep forming those NAMBLA organizations coming and dont worry... Mexicans, Chinese and Blacks will keep the economy going while you collect welfare .. and claiming to be the Builders of the nation

  • This makes zero sense. Are YOU on drugs. CONSERVATIVE, CHRISTIAN Americans dont support NAMBLA, thats liberals. We dont use meth, thats white trash and gang bangers. You saying I collect welfare? Are you serious, man your lost. I have never collected welfare, I pay for it. I took no bailout, I pay my bills, I give to alot of charity. What squatting?

    I bet there is nothing that minorities do wrong huh. No black or brown, or chinese white collar criminals are there........

  • Guess what, experience isn't the issue, its judicial activisim. She clearly won't follow the constitution.  She will let her "hispanic bias" rule her decision....

  • you are correct Sir!

  • Congratulations, Madam Justice.

  • americans are clueless bastards how can they call those indians from southamerica "latinos"? get educated u sons of a bitch real latins are from spain n italy europe white people classy n educated unlike u fatasses

  • hey Dude, even as the individual's use of language is the principal indicator of one's community, and one's place in society, "latino" has principally to do with the fact that, by far away and large, the greatest part of those whose national members are spoken of as "latinos", do speak any of several variants of the romance language groups; and, for the fact that, in the main, the languages of the early explorers and invaders-and, who left children-were of latin language origin.

    So, get a grip.

  • They are called lations because they all come from spain and speak spanish. dont feel all high and mighty cause your from pain.

  • at least im educated enough to spell right

  • Latino |ləˈtēnō; la-|

    noun ( pl. -nos)

    a Latin American inhabitant of the United States.

    It helps if you know what the word means.

  • Gop Lies

  • Yeah these guys suck, they always go left and FAR LEFT. But what can you expect from turks?

  • Why does a freakin' lawyer make more than a carpenter or a machinist or a ditch digger? The lawyer produces nothing of wealth; it sucks off the taxpayer's labour.

    The system did not have to evolve into something where we need to have lawyers. Lawyers are there because the power elite, who is made up of non hackers, needed to pull in the bucks without resorting to the pain of labour. All lawyers; every one of them are corrupt.

  • These young turks are dumb jerks.

    Sotomayor is a confirmed racist who will rule(and has ruled) against white people because they are white people.

  • Leave it to these fuckers to use race to elect this turd to the courts.

  • edward,

    Cenk isn't generalizing... the 'one' Republican to come out and publicly Sotomayor's nomination has been tarred and feathered, chastised, berated and bullied by the conservatives and the conservative press.

    It's unfortunate, but definitely not a 'generalization'... unless 'generalization' is a code word for the truth.

    I really wish Republican voters would demand more from their elected representatives, because they're dropping the ball, and making the whole party look bad.

  • gah... the first paragraph should read 'publicly support' Sotomayor's nomination.

  • Being on the federal courts doesn't mean that she is qualified. Have you ever heard of quantity of quality?

    In my opinion, racism is different that intelligence.

    You voice your opinion on how bad generalizations are by generalizing republicans.

  • Great point Gerkinstock! "The Young Turds" will twist the facts to support their Liberal point of view instead of what is right! Calling themselves Rebels is a joke! A real Rebel would call anybody out without regards to political affiliation! I don't care what party you are if you mess up I will call you out on it!

  • How have they twisted facts? Seems like everything they said could be found in an encyclopedia

  • Durning Sotomayor confirmation process she was asked,

    if she felt Americans guns rights where fundamental She said no and further went on to say that states like dc should be able to write laws that suspend the constitution and ban gun rights to people living in those areas.

  • The NRA will punish any senator that votes for sotomayor confirmation.

    People may take this as a threat of violence no we as group will vote for other senators come reelection time who are more interested in our god given rights per the constitution.

    So remember senators mark our words vote for her and you will be looking for a new job come reelection time

  • I dont recall where in the bible it said you have a right to an ak47 with armour peircing rounds. musta missed that bit. dumbass

  • Listen you faggot, she is faker than that fake ass cast she put on for the sympathy vote. Get over yourselves, that cast came off one minute after the hearings, just like Newt yer daddy said it would. quit your whining and get a REAL JOB, stop playin people like you know something, fake ass wanna be tv personality, how friggin funny is that?.lmao.go AWAY!

  • My guess is Young Turk isn't the least bit willing to acknowlege how disgusting liberals' and Democrats' smear tactics were against Robert Bork, or how unfair their attacks on Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were. Ted Kennedy is the single most repulsive smear artist in the Senate today.

    Hmmm... I haven't heard nearly the excessive number of attacks on her temperment that YT suggests. Her ridiculous ruling in the New Haven firefighters case is worthy of severe critiquing, is it not?

  • Well, at least we know that Sotomayor is much wiser than Cenk. That silly white male, ... ~~

  • Republican leaders made another mistake, choosing Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as their attack dog against Sotomayor. Sessions' own nomination to the federal bench was rejected by the Senate because of racism. Sessions stated he "used to think the KKK were OK until I found some were pot smokers." He often referred to a black attorney who worked for him as "boy," & warned the attorney to "be careful what you say to white folks" after Sessions heard him correct errors of a white legal aid.

  • Now white people are starting to feel how minority groups have felt for many many years discriminated .... Hum interesting I think I like this. :0)

  • An ethical and honest person doesn't "like" any kind of discrimination - white, black or anything in between. Two wrongs never make a right, but I don't think Sotomayor's wrong nor does she discriminate - she followed the letter of the law.

  • But, the letter of the law is discriminatory; hense 'affirmitive action' and 'positive discrimination'.

  • People have always hated eachother. This isn't the first time that whites have been discriminated against. They actually have had racial qoutas against them for many decades.

  • So wait wait......wait.......people out there are actually DEFENDING her?? that DIRTY RACIST PIG?? fuck sakes she publicly said that hispanic women are smarter than white men and people defend her, what the FUCK does it take to be a racist??

    Japanese people are the ultimate super race and should cleanse the rest of the world.

    That good enough?? oh wait, im white, so if i wear black shoes or go for a walk in the park that makes me a racist

  • Most Hispanic people are white, actually.

  • Most Hispanic people are Hispanic, actually.

  • 100% are Hispanic, which means having Spanish-speaking ancestry. No language to my knowledge has any direct implication of a person's race or ethnicity (beyond language). 52% of U.S. Hispanics classify themselves as white, so Hispanics are no more "people of color" or "minorities" than Catholics or people with French or Irish surnames.

  • This shows ya what Obama is trying to do to our country. She's hardcore against second amenment. Saying I told you so will never be so painful.

  • I watched all the hearings. Good ole boy 'Bama Sen. Sessions led the GOP in a co-ordinated public lynching of Sotomayor. Of course Lindsey Graham has now voted for her in hopes of securing 2012 Latino votes.

  • Truely the young jurks.

  • Shut up, please. She is clearly racist...I am sickened by the fact that we appoint people for positions based on their race. I do not understand how this is legal. The world is all about who has the power...it's currently trendy for whites to give away some of their power to racial minorities via affirmative action because it makes the whites look good. In a few years the whites will regret this, as they will have relinquished the power they and their ancenstors worked so hard to attain.

  • Clarence Thomas is black; and no one gave a shit that he got eaten alive by the left.

  • @URUROTRASH why are you and many others writing about clarence thomas???? the reason he gets attacked by the left is because of his blatant hipocrisy.. Here's an example: he has a strong anti affirmative action stance when it is an indisputable fact that he received his job BASED on affirmative action... that is like me making a speech about my vegetarian dieting while eating a slice of meatlovers pizza

  • STOP THE YOUNG TURKS look up there history of the name furthmore be your real judge were he gets the facts the party young turks is of the fall of the otmann empire

  • Youngturks is just another democratic splinter group funded with european money (soros).

  • that means outside influnce possibly EU action could they try destablise are country. we are remved EU forn confederation wth military power able to keep ruissa away and take on afrcia this concerns me i bleive someone trying to begin desablastion EU nation Frnace posssibly

  • Maybe it's just me, but somehow I get the feeling that this turkey guy don't like whites.

  • who cares if we get a latina in the supreme court. If you care that the judge is a latina YOUR a racist. ALL minorities hate white people. I am white and I have no problem with other races human to human. BUT WTF cares if we get a latina judge or a black judge. Is this a fucking combo breaker or some shit? Just STFU and get a judge in there so we can function as a nation

  • We care if the person has a problem with our LAWS and feels they should base judgements on sex, color, or social standing.

  • Comment removed

  • Who are "theyoungturds"? Kind of a funny name... heh, heh...

  • turks not turds get it right

  • I think that turds is more appropriate

  • We need a latina in the Supreme Court! Eat your heart out your racists! I'm gonna enjoy when she'll become the 9th member of the US Supreme Court. I hope to read tons of insulting comments from racist and haters.

    I love it when your see nerds trying to be tough, macho men in youtube.

  • belvdr3icb  united in estodos never served racism that you are speaking

  • Racism doesn't have ANYTHING to do with this; you're just ignorant by pulling out the race card and disregarding everything else. We don't need people of ANY specific background in the Supreme; all the Justices are supposed to be NEUTRAL and unbiased, so they are supposed to be chosen based on their PERSONAL abilities, and nothing to do with race.

  • are you hispanic?

  • Its not about race you half-wit, its about choosing people who make decisions based on our laws and not on empathy. If anyone is racist here it is you.

  • I'm so excited that we will finally have a Latino on the Supreme Court who will be able to interpret laws from a Latina viewpoint. I think her empathy for the poor people will help her feel her way through how are laws should be applied towards the poor in our country. I like how she blinks real fast too, it reminds me of my warm hearted kind and caring Grandma.

  • Ok uhh the Grandma reference is completely irrelevant.

    Your first claim is incorrect from an ideological point of view. Each of the Supreme Court Justices are ALL supposed to be able to judge based on everything within the laws; each Justice is NOT supposed to be judging based on their background; Justices who came from a lower class shouldn't be bias towards poor people and her being Latino shouldn't be specifically interpreting from a Latina viewpoint. They're all supposed to be NEUTRAL.

  • A race?...your not to Bright!,,you must be a Gangbanger,or Rapper

  • In today's hearing, this lady was asked if an American has a right to use deadly force when confronted with someone that wants to kill them. Sotomayor responded by saying that she didn't know!

    It would be funny if someone at the hearing stood up and put a (fake) shotgun in her face and asked, "Does this help you to clarify the issue, lib?"

    What a crummy government we have if this racist moron is confirmed.

  • She's a Racist ,and Latinos are not a Race...lol..and so is this Turk

  • It is a race. More intelligente than whites.

    YOU GAY ASS, DUMB ASS white fool .

  • It makes you look really smart when you spell "intelligent" wrong while trying to prove yourself superior.

    Go and fuck yourself you dirty wetback piece of shit, and get the fuck out of my country while you're at it.

    White Power mother fucker!

  • Fuck Sotomayor.

    Stupid Latinos think they are an actual race which is superior to whites when they are NOT a true race at all but a mix of the white race and asian race by the Spanish and Native Americans.

    How can someone who is half white be racist against whites? Why are Latinos so mentally inept as to not even understand their own history?

    Fuck this Turk too, what a moron.

  • Cash - you just mad `cause you WHITE.

    If someone calls me white I will fuck `em up .

    Oh wait, that`s what LATINOS do to whites.

    Muahaha haha haha

  • Gangz you are a perfect example of the point I made in that last post.

    Here you are trying to claim that latino is a race, even after I explained that latino is a mix of races. There are only 3 races you fucking imbecile: African, Asian, and Caucasian. Latino is Spanish (Caucasian) and Asian (Native American) mixed together. It is NOT a true race.

    You have white blood (Spanish), and here you are trying to be racist against yourself. You're a fucking retard.

  • This guy is a real idiot. What a big dummy,,, Please !!! Lets not be be seperated over this one. Left / Right ?? Admit it... This guy is a real idiot...  Thanks,

  • Sotomayor is a racist.... and that is not a loose statement!

  • Please See This Video...It Might Change Ur Life(InshALLAH)...Thank You!!!!....Peace Be Unto You!!!:

  • When people keep being told they only got where they are because of affirmative action and quotas, there is a good chance it is going to make them feel insecure and anxious to prove themselves -- that is, act aggressively.

  • Sotomayor is racist and sexist

  • Sotomayor is one of the most uglist, sexist, obnoxious, and racist woman I have ever seen.

  • Teigmutter,

    You gotta be kidding Sarah Palin does not even know all the Continents. Sonya Sotomayor is brilliant and has the grades and experience to back it up. Palin quit after 2 and a half years. She is a dummy just like you!

  • I am constantly surprised by the propaganda this persnickety, boorish mongrel proffers via youtube.

  • Yea, those crappy republicans, they should go easy on her like the Democrats did with Gonzalez and Bork and Alito. Oh wait, they wouldn't even allow a vote on Gonzalez because they thought a Hispanic Republican would be too dangerous. Oh and Borks character was assasinated (they even searched what videos he rented at the video store). I am so glad the Dems dirty like the republicans.

  • it's funny how everyone is outraged when republicans attack sotomayor but it's no big deal when liberals attack Sarah Palin.

    funny thing.

  • Hopefully, one day the under class liberals will understand they are being used for votes. instead of helping everyone to have equal results, Help everyone have an equal oppurtunity. we all have many obstacles to overcome black, hispanic, and yes even White people.

    This Utopia society is what the dems want. just like the elites in Noth Korea, china, cuba, and formerly russia. all non elites will have equal "possessions" but they will be unable to freely move to become a "have".

  • Well put and true. You will get bashed for posting this; but you are right. There is a reason the government we now have in place is so eager to get so many dependent on this government: Votes. Working class people that do not want a handout are a threat to any socialist society. They will be labeled "Facist" "Militants" and 'Rebels" which is the same thing that our forefathers were called by the British.

  • treating her with equality is an admiration to the republican party. asking her to explain her thoughts about what she has ruled and said. It's a racist and sexist thing to tip toe around her just because she's a minority. Dems were racist and sexist to throw soft balls like al frankenstien. I'm not saying she isn't qualified but she like every other justice gets asked tough questions to test their temperment and ability to think rationally under poressure.

  • liberals have to be some of the dumbest people. I mean where do they get their premise for how society should work? Honestly? Do they really think they can make society a better place? Which assumes that they think they know what is best for the world and are God like. These people are nuts and need to study history because history can explain to these ignorant people that inequalities have been prevalent in soceity from the beginning of time.

  • What a state of affairs when an appointee to the highest judicial position in the land is reticent to expose her judicial philosophy.

  • Judge Sotomayor's statement is not racist, she is just wrong. Second, I would hope that a wise white man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina woman who hasn't lived that life.

  • Agreed; but if that wise white man was to every refer to himself or the need for a wise white man; he unlike Sotomayor will be labeled a racist. I do not think that Sotomayor is the issue at hand. I really think that people are growing tired of the double standard that the "Majority" of us are forced to live by.

  • I dont care if she was queen of Spain, she is a communist. All 10 of her suggested changes were in favor of the communist party. Its no quincidence genious.

  • These guys are hypocrites, they talk about the gop attacking the left but all they do is attack the right. These guys are hypocrites.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • there is a new political blog on the internet, and they're first article is about the confirmation hearings. It's pretty interesting.

    its called "The Firm Cold Hand" its on Blogger

  • I would hope that a wise White Male with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a (insert non white male race & sex here) who hasnt lived that life.

    Now how do you think this would have played out?

    Not only would this person not be elected to be a Supreme Judge, they would not be able to judge a pie eating contest!

    America we need a gut check!

  • If this woman was nominated under a republican president with a republican senate majority, the democrats would have issues with her. Simply put, democrats do not like republican policies and vice versa. If she were a conservative judge, the democrats would pounce on her. No matter, this silly show will be no more when Obama gets things his way. Say hello to socialism and goodbye to capitalism.

  • that's absolutely ridiculous. Sotomayor wouldn't have been nominated under Republicans. Plus, there is a big difference between Sotomayor who has tons of experience and Harriet Meyers who was never on the bench before being nominated. Get your facts straight before you mouth off

  • Mouthing off? Harriet Meyers? Never mentioned Harriet Meyers. My facts are straight. YOU need to look up the meanings of a fact and an opinion. My comment was my opinion on the matter, not facts. Relax, you'll come around.

  • Good point! For conservatives this is about judicial philosophy. Since liberals can't counter the strict construct argument, we get the ever-ready , "you guys are racist" defense. For the un-washed masses it's a PR winner every time. Unfortunately being right is not enough in this culture.

  • I think it is funny that liberals haven't picked up on the fact that Democrats picked Sotomayor in part because of her race.

    The LIBERALS made her race an issue for the very reason that it would cause a false sense of change and bring race to the forefront-meaning when Republicans attacked her they would be labeled racist. Politics as usual.

  • Don't republicans do that too? Some say they reject people because they are not white. By the way, would you say George W. Bush picked Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice for Secretary of State because of race? Or G H Bush picked Clarence Thomas because of race? No you wouldn't probably

    Conservatives and republicans have a problem with race. If they were the party of Lincoln then they would have blacks and minorities to vote for them.

  • We dont have problems with race. We believe in self Responcibility. It has been shown over time, that foreigners lack that. They are just looking for free handouts, as the democrats give.

    Sorry, however that is the truth.

  • This is Bull.

    'It is shown over time...'

    You need a reality check.

  • Given Judge Sotomayor's malapropisms, I'm sure we'll soon see her in a Couric interview edited to make her "appeal" in a negative light, followed by a Maureen Down article "sequestioning" her sanity, then finally a in Letterman list of famous Sotomayor "quotables".

  • I agree with the majority of your comments, these petty attacks on her education, race, and sex, are meaningless. Unfortunately, something I would have like for you to cover are valid objections on her "wise latina" comment, or her opinion on Ricci v. New Haven. This tirade, serves no purpose, other than to polarize both parties. i. e. this video is a waste of time.

  • So I guess TYT  thinks that her racism and sexism are an earmark of her "intelligence?"

  • Ms Sotomayor, you believe in equal protection under the law?

    If the firefighter test had been taken by only hispanics, and the results thrown out with no explanation and no promotions given, would you have reached a different judgement? How does that square with your past rulings? Take your time, we want to make sure we know what we are getting.

  • "Naa, She's Latina I Got It , I Figuared It Out" LOL

  • I don't think I want Sotomayor running ANYTHING political, especially the Supreme Court. From the looks of things, she doesn't even know why she's there, and I REALLY don't like the way she hides her stances on everything. She is also racist as hell, for the firefighter scandal and the "wise Latina woman" shit.

    Go ahead and thumb me down for speaking the unbridled truth about Sotomayor. Bonus points if you mistakenly assume I'm a racist, idiot, Bush fan, redneck, NASCAR-lover, or a Republican.

  • I want someone competent to save my life.

  • Ok fuck all u misogynist conservative assholes

  • Heres another racist pig. If you aren't a latino, watch out. The Supreme court over turned her ruling on the firemans case. All and her storying telling~~~~~ jees, give me a break. Everyone has a story about their lives.  This woman needs to go back understand what the Judicial System of Government is for. All those awards mean nothing. She must of had someone do her homework in her American Government class...

  • one sharp cookie? this fucking moron isn't even sticking to why this is an ordeal in the first place. she is a fucking racist. she said her race would influence her decisions. this douchebag is too worried about her college shit

  • shes a racist ,thats way she not qualified what doesnt this dumas talk about the wise latina statement ,which by the way shes made 5 times since 1992, or her ruling on the conn. firefighters case, , which was overturned by the supreme court , her ruling have been overturned 6 or 7 times , lucy u got some splain to doo,hehe

  • Sotomayors answer in the senate hearings have been evasive. She dodges questions with her vague answers. She couldn't answer a simple question, "does one have the right to self defense?" Sonia it's a simple question, yes or no.

  • That's actually a very complicated question. It really does depend on the circumstances, and it depends on whether we're talking criminal or civil defenses.

    For example, everyone has the right to self-defense if someone's trying to kill you, criminal or civil.

    But what if someone says they're going to kill you a week from now?

    What if someone steals your car off your driveway? Can you kill them then?

    What if someone kills your dog?

    The possibilities (and answers) are endless.

  • It's not hard at all. If someone breaks into your home, he is not breaking in to have tea and cookies with you, do you have the right to defend yourself? If you are being robbed, raped or assaulted, do you have the right to defend yourself? hmm

  • It depends.

    The crime of assault, in many jurisdictions, doesn't involve physical contact. And many times you don't have a right to use self-defense.

    And "self defense" has many meanings: It could mean deadly force, or force just enough to subdue the other, etc.

    As to your exact scenario, if someone breaks into your home, YES, you generally have a right to use deadly force, civil or criminal.

    "Self-defense" is an extremely complex area of the law.

  • Let me give you an example.

    Assault is extremely jurisdiction-sensitive, but a 3rd degree tort assault might be to put another in reasonable apprehension of harmful or offensive touching or contact.

    If guys are playing basketball at the Y and one player threatens to pull the shorts down of another player, that's a 3rd degree assault.

    You can't just pull out your gun and blast him. :)

  • Another Sotomayor evasive answer. lol

  • That's law for ya!

  • This would not be an example of a reasonable cause for self-defense...bad example

  • The idea was to give you an example where deadly force self-defense isn't authorized.

  • If that was the idea then I concur. However it appears that you are defending Soto"s reluctance to weigh in on whether she EVER believes that self defense is justified. Her evasiveness raises appropriate concerns.

  • The fact that you can be more direct than she ( SCOTUS appointee) is upon questioning is further evidence, in the minds of many,that she may be hiding an agenda under that robe.

  • She may be treading evasively because self-defense is an extremely complex area of the law, but there are specific instances where the use of deadly force in self-defense has been settled as law for many, many years.

  • Sonia Stealth Scotus

  • Is judicial philosophy an outright disqualifier?

  • Cenk Uigher makes the best argument that his dysfunctional brain will allow him to make. Predictable result.

  • Yes, listening to liberals whine about feisty SCOTUS hearings is pretty laughable after all the judges they tri
