thank you..

Maybe because she does NOT abuse the Constitution makes her a threat to the Roves, Cheneys and Bushes !

That’s precisely it. See the “Ricci case” coming up to the SCOTUS before her nom is over – you’ll be hearing more about it. All the 3-judge panel she was on was decline to overturn a ruling which merely enforced Title VII of the Civil Rights act. But the wingnuts are already trying to make it sound like “reverse racism” and pin the entire decision on her personally to boot.

Very few of the people commenting on this site appear to be using their grey matter, all I find here is ignorance, racism and hate.
Time to log off and go in search of an intelligent discussion.

These right wing nut jobs should do some research before they spread the verbal abusive crap they are so fond of.

Of course, it would be silly to recall Scalia’s minority opinion in BOUMEDIENE. You remember, Karl, the case which addressed the jurisdiction of the Constitution in relation to Guantanamo. As you know (being a constitutional scholar in your own mind), Scalia provided the unemotional, passionless reasoning that “Americans will most certainly die as a result of the majority opinion”. Setting aside the fact that Scalia’s reckless comment was based on facts proven to be wrong, Scalia used emotive reasoning to call into question the viability of the Court itself when he made this comment. Karl, you are a mockery of a sham of a mockery.

This clip and subsequent post prove that those who are most vocal, are the ones who really have no idea what they are talking about.

This stuff is killing these guys. They will drive away even more women and Latinos, all for a judge that the Senate will probably approve without a struggle. Then the next time Obama appoints a justice, they will have made such fools of themselves that their cries of wolf will be downright comical.

The Dems could not do a better job of writing the scripts of their opponents these days. These guys are cementing the permanent majority they always dreamed of with their purified incompetence. How fitting.

Regarding Sotomayor, I believe their disgusting tactics have been as follows:

1) “You know them Mexicans (I know, she’s not Mexican, but that dosen’t matter to racist right wingers) are dumb and lazy.
2) “You know them broads, especially them Spanish (I know, she’s not Spanish) broads, they get all worked up and start PMS’ing and everything, poor little things can’t think straight.”

Bigots and sociopaths, especially of the right-wing type, resort to anything to justify their overprivilege at the expense of the oppressed. What a bunch of depraved animals.

I must disagree with this. Arguing with Rovian illogic has driven me to many pints over the years, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

newer souls

play the emotion button

works often

some truth to it but we need some emotion sometimes

too few women on supreme court now

white war mongering males have destroyed this country

just look around

It’s no wonder more and more people turn to the internet for their news/opinion. Hopefully the internet puts the MSM out of business.

Because the truth is Rove has RELIED on “emotions” to move his base constantly.

Good point – the teabaggers are hardly in a position currently to pretend to be the standard-bearers for calm, rational reasoning.

Of Course any conclusion other than the Survival of the Fittest is sheer emotionalism. Anything other than the right of the powerful to do as thy please is bad thinking.Conservatives are Smart! They are the Party of Ideas! Liberals are touchy-feely fuzzy thinking kumbaya singing emotional morons!

It’s all dishonest whacking off. But when you’re going to argue for injustice, cruelty and misery for everyone but your masters, faux rationality is all you’ve got.

I coined WTF TV this morning, for starters.

I think we should henceforth refer to them as the DSM — that is, the Down-Stream Media. It fits. They exist in the sewer of opinion where all that is ever covered is gleaned from the putrid, decaying droppings of failed, disgraced, out-of-power republicans.
