With the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, the media and president Obama are hailing it as something to celebrate. But the truth is, they are happy about another very liberal justice, not so much that she is Hispanic. First and foremost she is on the political left; her race matters very little [...]

Sen. Harry Reid Urges GOP to Support Sotomayor Because of Race

Majority Leader Harry Reid begged Republicans to join Democrats in voting to confirm Sotomayor, warning that opposition would bring some kind of public backlash. But why wasn’t there concern of a backlash when the Democrats blocked Honduran-born Miguel Estrada from the Federal Appeals Court?
The League of United Latin American Citizens said their group is targeting [...]

Filed under Government, Judicial Tyranny, Legal, Second Amendment

In Maloney v. Cuomo, Sotomayor joined a three-judge panel concluding that the Second Amendment right to bear arms does not apply to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment. She also argued that the right to bear arms is not a “fundamental right.”
In a very brief opinion, she cites Presser v. Illinois as the basis for [...]

Now that we’ve had some time to hear her statements and responses, we can safely surmise that she is being deceptive.
She tried to make excuses for her “wise Latina ” comment and downplay it. Just ask the simple question of whether or not a white male could have made a similar comment and got away [...]

Confirmation Hearings: Ten Questions for Sonia Sotomayor

Filed under Government, Legal

In light of so much controversy surrounding a nominee with a record many see as radical, I found some excellent questions that judge Sotomayor should be forced to answer. I have re-posted these questions in their entirety.
Question #1: Policy-Making from the Bench
During a Duke University panel discussion in 2005, you made a statement that raises [...]

Ginsburg, Sotomayor and the Ricci Case

by admin @ Monday, July 6th, 2009. Tags: ginsburg, Government, judicial activist, judicial nomination, justice, Ricci, sotomayor, supreme court
Filed under Government, Legal

While the Supreme Court decision in favor of the discriminated firefighters in the Ricci case may seem potentially damaging to Sotomayor, it really won’t change much with her confirmation hearing. If it comes up, she will simply cite the dissenting opinion of the four justices as being on her side, and since it was a [...]

Republicans Should Filibuster Sotomayor, But Unlikely

by SteveK @ Saturday, June 6th, 2009. Tags: block, bork, democrats, filibuster, judge, Obama, republicans, sotomayor, supreme court
Filed under Government, Legal

Kentucky Republican Mitch McConnell thinks it’s a “bad idea” to use Senate rules to block judges, but it’s a tool that “may or may not be employed at some point.” Other top GOP senators have said they don’t anticipate a filibuster.
What we know so far about Sonia Sotomayor:

She expressed activist beliefs about courts ‘making [...]

The White House released this picture of Sotomayor in her Princeton yearbook quoting a leading socialist.
I am not a champion of lost causes, but of causes not yet won.
-Norman Thomas
Norman Thomas is also quoted as saying, “The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment [...]

Democrats Try To Defend Sotomayor From Valid Criticisms

by SteveK @ Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009. Tags: activist, concern, defend, democrats, firefighters, judicial activist, justice, New Haven, sotomayor, supreme court
Filed under Government, Judicial Tyranny, Legal

Democrats are calling Sotomayor the “whole package”, and trying to defend her against the legitimate criticisms surrounding her. Most of the problems with Sotomayor involve her statements about courts making policy, and racially-charged speech given back in 2001, leading to the logical conclusion that her views are incompatible with the idea of equal justice.
Democrats, the [...]

Liberals Unjustified in Calling Critics of Sotomayor “Racists”

Filed under Government, Judicial Tyranny, Legal

The Democratic Party seems to be obsessed with race, and it’s true when it comes to racial quotas in employee hirings and college admissions, although they prefer the euphemism “affirmative action.” I say “seems” because when it comes to judicial nominees or anything else in government, politics trumps race.
The Democrats and their media allies made [...]
