Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor says she has a simple judicial philosophy: fidelity to the law. "The task of a judge is not to make law, it is to apply the law."

  • The senators are d ipshits the way to find out where any of these judges stands is to tell them if you wont be forth coming with your answers I won’t vote to confirm you….

    .

    I will also vote to impeach you if you jury mender the constitution of the United State of America….

  • @CHECHO10101010 Sounds like you're calling me a racist? you see that is very predictable from the left. Are you a leftist? We'll see if she follows the Constitution?...I hope she's the best Justice in our history. That would mean she is not an "activist" on the court. I have my doubts because Obama appointed her...that's all. I hope I'm wrong about her...

  • @dirkbag22 Mmmmm it seems you are very mad... and it seems that racism and lies matter only when it comes to non-whites being the perpetrators; I haven't encountered many whites that speak up against white racists.

  • @jkiene I thought that was what Americans liked to hear..."patriotic" talk! Oh but wait, she is not white, so it doesn't work in this case, does it? (Besides, she DOES state that she applies and follows the U.S. constitution, so what's the problem with the "sentimental" talk?)

  • Listen to the words she uses, hope, deeply touched me, Dream, enhanced, Understand, Belief, proving emotions rule her world, not logic and reason but hope, fairness, Dreaming...

  • I would fall asleep as well. God she is lying when she says she doesn't change the law based on her emotion

  • yes, apply the law "with empathy"!

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!!Sonia Sotomayor!!!!!!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

    From PUERTO RICO,U.S.A.

  • Teenage trailer trash. How about getting the high school diploma first before taking part in adult discussions. These hearings are far beyond your comprehension.

    NEXT!

  • by ur reasoning the constitution and all the laws made back then dont apply now. and that reasoning is stupid. the founding fathers knew what they were doing by writing that stuff, and it was for this time. they knew technology would advance, just like we know it. read the constitution and the bill of rights...u might just learn something
