As always - when you are a Democrat - It's different

Unless you have been living in a cave with Bin-Laden, you know that far-left Sonia Sotomayor was recently nominated to the Supreme Court by the far-left Messiah.

I personally strongly object to this nominee. Not so much that she is a leftist, though, of course this does not thrill me. Elections have consequences - this is one of them.

My objection has to do with her judicial philosophy. It can be summed up in one candid comment, caught on video:

The court of appeals is where policy is made

Now, we have always known this. When the Left cannot get their ideas implemented at the ballot box - they revert to the courts. The Right is always complaining about 'Judicial Activism'. By this they mean the court making policy from the bench - that has the full force of law. Their proper role is to simply judge whether a law is in line with what the Constitution actually says (as opposed to what one might wish it said).

Despite the fact that she WILL be confirmed, I shall make a couple of brief observations.

• She said that a Latino woman, with her rich experience, would make better LEGAL decisions than a white man without those experiences! Can you imagine had a White man said a similar thing? How about 'White Men with their superior upbringing will make better decisions than a black raised in a housing project'? . So, the judge is a RACIST.
  
  
• She is a member of the Hispanic group 'La Raza'. Their motto - 'For the Race (Hispanic) everything, outside the Race, nothing'. How does that strike you? Sounds like something from the KKK. So,she is STILL a racist.
  
  
• Of the 6 opinions that she has written that have been reviewed by the Supreme Court - 5 have been overturned. Awesome. She is out of touch with the realities of modern juris prudence.
  
  
• She dismissed, in ONE paragraph, the race discrimination suit by a group of fire-fighters from New Haven. The case is interesting because the fire-fighters are white. The city gave a promotion test - and not 'enough' minorities passed. So, the city CANCELLED the promotion. The lead plaintiff, Ricci, suffers from Dyslexia. It took tremendous effort for him to pass(he got the 6th highest score). But, in effect, the Judge said since Ricci was not black, it did not matter. Court watchers expect the current Court to concur with Ricci and re-instate the test and promotion.
  
  
• This one is not her fault. All I heard the first few days after the announcement was 'rich life experience' and 'empathy from the bench'. Bull. The Dems did not care about Clarence Thomas' life experience. Nor did they care about that of Doris Rogers Brown. And since when is 'empathy' a qualification for being on the Supreme Court? The legislatures are where 'empathy' is expressed. The Supreme Court is to simply rule as to whether that 'empathy' violates the Constitution. So - she lacks rigor.
  
  
• Even the Liberal legal analysist Jonathon Turley noted that Sotomayor does not have the intellectual firepower to sit on the Supreme Court. It appears she lacks intellectual heft (or gravitas).
  

Make no mistake - she will be confirmed. She is Hispanic, has female genitals, and is a Liberal. So the rest will not matter. This is simply an affirmative action nominee.

Folks - this is what you get when you elect a Leftist, Statist, Marxist for President. And as he said in a recent speech: 'You ain't seen nothing yet'. It will take a generation or more to undo the damage that this guy is visiting on us.
