Hey, it's just a poor choice of words, no such Mulligan exists if it's a Republican who does the same

  • 'La Raza' means 'THE Race'. Sotomayor is a major figure of La Raza. La Raza pushes for open borders, amensty, driver''s license, free education, free healthcare, free welfare for illegal hispanic immigrants. Sotomayor is a main pusher. Sotomayor says that the 2nd Amendment does NOT guarantee U.S citizens the right to bear arms. Obama is a gun ban/control fanatic, and Sotomayor will make gun ban possible. People are stupid as hell to think this woman is a good choice for the Supreme Court.

  • I think I'm just as concerned with President Obama's comments related to his understanding of what a judge's role is as I am with Sotomayor's comments. Why is he so concerned with a judge being able to stand in other people's shoes? When faced with two sides of an argument, will she try on both side's shoes and rule in favor of whose had it more difficult? I think upholding the constitution and the law is the main criteria, not empathy.

  • @Buskauskas He's at 48% approval. No president has ever had 80% disapproval. The lowest was 25%, and that was George W. Bush.

  • @YTMbrianpeppersND You do know that Obama has the 80% disapproval rate right now!

  • @YTMbrianpeppersND Well I also asked you to be more specific about the "real life" experiences that made Sotomayor a better candidate for the Supreme Court. Did you know that she totally butchered the case with the firefighters(ask me for details if you are not aware of this case), and the mass had to be cleaned up by other judges. Experienced judges said that promoting Sotomayor to Supreme Court was like letting a pilot who can't operate a Sesna fly a jumbo jet. I totally agree with that.

  • @Buskauskas That isn't what I said at all. My logic (which you so immaturely skewed) was that the life experience gained in a childhood similar to Sotomayor's would add to the education a law school provides. Sotomayor herself said this.

    You're obviously being as difficult as possible. You blatantly employed a slippery slope fallacy and a post hoc ergo propter hoc argument. Not to mention you used three exclamation points.

  • @YTMbrianpeppersND Please be more specific!!! According to your logic Supreme Court judges do not need to got to law schools. We should accommodate them in a ghetto instead, to gain the so called "real life experience". By the very same experience do you mean standing in the line to get the welfare check?

  • @Buskauskas When that gave you real-life experience that law school can never teach.

  • @bbnemesis123 So you made multiple argumentative fallacies in there, but everyone knows you've got an incredible bias, so you can't ever be convinced the other way. Unfortunately for you, Obama was elected. Fortunately for democracy and the majority of the population, Obama was elected. America wanted Obama. You wanted...someone else. YOU lost; but who are you to hold your opinion above that of the majority of America?

  • @Buskauskas now THAT, my friend, was a racist comment

  • So since when living in a ghetto makes you a better candidate for a judge?!?!

  • I like the sexy mexican judge on the people's court. This was RACIST and EVERYONE KNOWS this was RACIST. FUCK obama and his RACIST bitch ass. Heres obama protecting another RACIST. Whats obama mean a farmer in Iowa? I know this guys a JOKE and so was this SALTYMAYO's comment. If it was Kramer or a white judge and the comments were turned the other way then I'm sure WE would ALL have to hear obama and watch Him invite the 10 people over to have a beer.America's FUNNY these days.
