She didn't say different she said better.
Up for debate? Since when does the color of anyones skin or their sex make them more suitable for office?
The statement she made doesn't have to mean I am better than a white man in every situation. But in the situation above it would be benefitial to be a minority and have the ability to uphold the law as it is written. Imagine someone siting the same case for a white man trying to get into the supreme court and the anger it could be used to insite among the minority population.
Well then those minorities are RACISTS. Simple as that!
She didn't say different she said better.
The man who constantly plays the 'racist' card is usually a racist. Think over your life. How many racist statements have you made? Have you ever taken pride in your white race? By your definition (which Sotomayor is applied) would you be a racist? I think the answer is.......
NO.
Bite me jerkoff. Dude, the points you make on here are like swiss cheese. They've got so many holes in them when it actually comes to providing FACTS it's not even funny. Feel free to spread more you OPINION around though- and we all know how special those are........................as important as assholes. *rollseyes*
You want my opinion based on FACTS, here it is:
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...
legislative, executive, and judicial. judicial is easily the least important, based on the content of the articles. read them. and again, you cannot convince people that you're smart simply by insulting everyone else. but keep doing it. you're really good at insults.
The only thing you've spoon fed ANY of us so far is left wing bullshit- and extreme bullshit at that. There's no need for me to post links or youtube videos to prove my point because Trees of Life and others already have! Besides, you're so jaded in the way you think, you're incapable of looking at anything political fairly, what good would it do?!
It makes no sense? To hold people at their OWN WORDS? Sorry, but that is NOT too high a standard in my book to hold someone to. She didn't just say it once, or even as a joke. She said it, she meant it, and did so REPEATEDLY. If a conservative judicial nominee had said the exact same thing, he or she would be crucified by you same libs that are willing to give her a pass. You believe her, and take her at nothing more THAN HER WORD. I do not. I also don't take lightly her non-chalant joke about "the court makes policy". I find that extremely disturbing. The Supreme Court decides cases of extreme Constitutional importance, and ANYONE that is nominated to preside as one of its constituents should be examined with a fine tooth comb. Her words and her actions are extremely conflicted. Knowing the importance of the position to the nation's future, and precedents, having to take someone simply at their word, TO ME, simply is not enough. IMO, she's a racist. Not only does she not belong on the SC, but she doesn't belong as a judge in ANY court!
If you don't like political threads, why did you click on one? This seems more the thread you'll enjoy.
and talks like a duck...
so we agree
Judges should be difficult to identify politically, as the Constitution does not change. If they would merely refer to that instead of supining on their own, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place. The problem I have with liberal rulings (most of the time) is that they aim to change the intent of the principles the founding fathers laid down for us in the original drafting of the Constitution. For example, the "right to bear arms" is EXPRESSLY defined in the Constitution as an individual's right. Sotomayor's, is that that only applies to the police and military. Anybody wanna show me where the hell it says that!?!? Anybody?? Bueller??? I love this country, and I believe in the Constitution our founding fathers drafted. Changing it to suit one's personal beliefs IMO, is NOT NEGOTIABLE. That's what pisses me off the most. That other guy a few posts up even went so far as to say that the judicial branch of the government was the LEAST IMPORTANT of the 3 government branches. Unbelievable!!! Seriously, that has to rank of the most idiotic ideas I've actually seen posted in any of the political threads. The importance is monumental. Sotomayor was correct in saying in her assertion that, "the Supreme Court makes policy". What she got wrong is, that it only makes new policy when it goes against the principles ALREADY LAID OUT in the Constitution by the founding fathers.
Strawman. Have all the pride you like, but when you suggest that it makes you more capable of other races, and other sexes to reach correct verdicts, it becomes... by definition:
Are you fucking serious? This is the SUPREME COURT which interprets the rule of law which governs us all... you don't go "Oh well, there are people who disagree with her, so it will all work out..."
well obama speaks as though the constitution is holding him back.
What's up with the finger dude? Most of what I said was a monologue. The only thing I specifically mentioned that was incorrect (that you said) was that the SC is higher than that of the state of Pennsylvania. WTF?well obama speaks as though the constitution is holding him back.
