Of course, the country is a racially charged one where in if you are not as some here have classified; fat rich and white ( ala rep.) you don’t get anywhere….which shows you just how hollow all that crap is. They have no idea they have fallen into parody when they spout this shit.

This probably won't help conservatives, either.

Also, what is Yoo talking about with regard to changing "the direction of constitutional law as have Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas" and "the conservative revolution in constitutional law begun under the Reagan administration?" Do conservatively-based constitutional revolutions not constitute judicial activism?

What are you whining about?

John Roberts got confirmed 78-22, with well over half of the Dems going with that one.

Alito only got 58-42, but that's because he was a righty replacing a lefty, and he wasn't seen as even a centre-right pick.

Sotomayor isn't just a token left pick. Read her decisions on Pappas v. Giuliani or her pro-life position on the "Mexico City Policy".

You have no idea what you're even whining about.

Your are as ignorant of judicial nomination history as you are the definition of the term whining but, blather away, I won't help you. Go do your own study.

Maybe. But he's making absurd generalizations based on a few individuals. If I grab a couple of blue collar minorities with high IQs that have worked their asses of their entire lives and have virtually nothing to show for it, I'd be a moron if I tried to suggest that this is somehow indicative of a flaw in conservative thinking.

I'm betting they already checked her tax returns, and made sure she paid the withholding on her housekeeper(I'll bet they already checked her gardener's immigration status, too)..............
Miguel Estrada, let me see, I love trivia questions.........

One thing this nomination will not be is trivia, it will be front page, lead story, in constant rotation, especially in the hispanic press. Politically, this will be remembered in 2010, while the fight over a circuit court judge in 2001, will be "bonus points" on the political trivia scene.

But hey, I'll take the votes we get with this one gladly in exchange for the votes you guys get over Miguel Estrada.

They are almost undoubtedly looking for legitimate reasons to oppose this nomination. While I'm sure there are many out there, I'm not sure John Yoo, almost inarguably disgraced in the legal community, is someone they want on their side.

You're still clearly whining, since I have just brought up the last two nominations and two of her decisions, and all you're bringing is attacks on me.

How original. But when you don't have a point, attacks are all that's left I guess.

yea well it will come down to ideological grounds since we are locked in a tit for tat lefty for lefty righty for righty, as to litmus tests etc. which I think are bullshit…….just wait till Kennedy retires, that nomination and process will be gruesome and by pass all before it as to contentiousness and personal destruction. What a joke.

If the big litmus test on the right is abortion, than they must vote for her since she went with the Bush admin's pro-life position on the use of public funds to foreign organizations.

If that doesn't happen until 2011, do you think all 29 Republican Senators will oppose the confirmation of Obama's nominee?
