Chambliss will grandstand on Sotomayor just like he does on everything else. Instead of looking at her whole record, which many experts call conservative, he’ll take a few sentences out of context, out of the hundreds of thousands she’s written, and work himself into a lather over those. Just like he’s done with the nomination of regulatory czar Cass Sunstein, a provocative and exciting thinker and author. Chambliss is purposely misquoting Sunstein, freaking himself out about the strawman he’s invented, and refusing to let Sunstein’s nomination come to a vote (this is a democracy?) Not in King Chambliss’s mind…

Great post TBILL however while all that freedom stuff you quoted was going on, those same folks were trying to exterminate the Indians. I noticed you even threw in a little religion towards the end. You know the preachers during slavery said that slavery was a right justified by God. Next time try including all the facts.

I suggest those of you who so strongly support Ms. Sotomayer and suggest those of us who don’t should do more research, take a dose of your own medicine and research the Founding of this Nation. This Country was built upon the notion that all of us are born free and endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights. The assumption was made a free people wanted the least amount of government interference in their lives as possible. Free people want to live their lives and raise their families according to their own beliefs and central to that belief was no one had the right to impose their beliefs on another by the use of force and/or intimidation. The Bill of Rights was created not to give government granted rights, but to guarantee God-Given rights would not be taken away under the guise of “Governmental Help”. The Constitution isn’t a “living, breathing document”, it is an instruction book on how to build and maintain a free Country. Those of you who would have us emulate other countries should remember we fought a war in 1776 to win the right not to be like any other country, but to be a unique free Republic where the “government” is the servant and the “People” are the masters. Ms Sotomayer clearly doesn’t believe in this form of government, she believes we are “entitled” to just what she wants us to have and freedom and liberty aren’t on the list. The Bill of Rights has no bearing on her chosen system of government. Please don’t put our and our children’s future in the hands of Elitist Jurist, who would be denounced for sedition and/or treason by any one of those who signed the Declaration of Independence. Insist our Congress confirm a peoples “Servant” rather than a “Master” to our high Court. Demand the ultimate “Entitlement” given by our Creator, FREEDOM and LIBERTY from governmental oppression and interference. I will support any judicial nominee who supports this judicial agenda and this one flunks badly.

The “you guys voted them in” works both ways. We are where we are because “you guys voted them in” i.e., Bush/Cheney and the neocon baboons. So it is with life, the “you guys” is always the evil other, the bad one, which then makes me the good one.

And Mom7, how about hard facts to prove that Sotomayor is an anti-constitutionalist. Did you mean to say strict constructionist. Please clarify your position, with facts and not talk radio innuendo please.

Don’t vote to approve Sotomayor. Maybe she is charming but she is an anit-constitutionalist!She is racist and she said it herself. She will not interpret law she will legislate it. This vote is not rocket science!
As far as BH Obama. He’s not going to say anything about a corrupt election. He’s in the process of setting up his own in 2012! He just taking lessons from Iran.

I don’t think it matters what we think or do. Our lives are in the hands of one his name is THE LORD JESUS CHRIST go ahead respond with your unbeliving remarks but I will see you at judgement day you will be wordless then. It matters not who you voted for your not in control. The republicans had a great chance to do some good stuff for this country THEY FAILED us. Then the foolish people of america voted in a man without knowing or trying to understand what kind of change he was for. The democrates in power now does not care how much money they spend, if they can get enough of the mindless americans to be dependant on goverment they will remain in power that is the main goal here they will also fail us. As a contry our biggest problem is not rather you are a repblican or democratean on the left or the right, but an AMERICAN EITHER LOVE HER OR LEAVE HER. As far as the appointment of the lady to the suprem court their is nothing the republicans can do, it is in the hands of the democrates. Change is what you voted for and baby your going to get it.
