I suspect that in order to actually find Hispanic blood in Justice Cardozo, you’d have to go back to the 16th century or so. His ancestors were reputedly Maranos, secret Jews masquerading as Christians in Portugal, and IIRC they were expelled from the Iberian Peninsula in the early 1500s.

The higher courts are often the stage for ideologically-based confirmation fights. The lower district courts, are, in the words of one former Bush official, “darn near patronage jobs.” Senators, even those in the opposing party from the White House, wield great power over who is nominated to the district court seats in their states. And in 1991, when Sotomayor was nominated, the Senate was controlled by Democrats, and the two senators from New York were Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Republican Alphonse D’Amato.

By a number of accounts, Moynihan and D’Amato had a longstanding arrangement. “It was a special deal whereby D’Amato agreed to defer to the pick of Moynihan for one out of every four district court seats,” another former Bush official told me. “That was a deal that preceded President Bush I, so basically Moynihan was picking one of four district court nominees.” That deal stood even though Republicans controlled the White House and thus (theoretically) the right to choose judges for the federal courts.

And at that moment, in 1991, it was Moynihan’s turn to choose, and his choice was Sotomayor. There is no evidence that anyone in the Bush I White House or Justice Department thought Sotomayor was a conservative, or even a moderate, but no one wanted a fight with Moynihan. “She was not our first choice,” recalls a third Bush I official, “but she was someone who was, if we were going to get a nominee confirmed to that position — essentially someone we had to go with.”

Moreover, this case is so stark, that I am certain that 3-4 dems at least will vote against her.

Pray I can employ the right strategy, because we have the raw material to really expose the libdems on this issue now and shame many libs into seeing it clearly for the first time.

I am telling you all, this kind of raw racism in her statements are not popular. These are the kinds of things they routinely cringe at and welcome the msm’s cover ups, but given the Ricci case and the statements and her long record, I think there is a real chance she could go down.

So to you I say:

RNC, creating an NRSC: Daily Dimes Dichotomy, standing up about working together,
Deli-story, Red-Dogs, RINOs, CINOs, DINOs, PLINOs, and Blue-Dogs, oh my… The Political Zoo – what/who are they?,

By that standard, most libs and dems should be rejected for the court and for any political office. In fact, identity politics defines libs and dems as much as any other two words could.

One thing is clear: Sotomayor makes policy from the bench based on race and gender, etc. She destroys the rule of law.

And quite frankly, I actually think she might go down on this issue.

Today has been quite the circus around here, it is like killing a slug in the garden you kill one then it seems three more pop up the next day. Again, I did get you wrong. Oh, a happy face would have helped prevent me from making a horses butt out of myself

The dumb way to fight this is to attack her as an affirmative action pick. (Yes, she is, but it is only playing to our base.) You can attack her on her stance to affirmative action but it will not resonate as well as some other attacks. We need to hit her were she is most in opposition to the majority of public opinion on issues like private property rights (Kelo) and 2nd amendment issues. Also we cannot just assert she is wrong on these positions. Our Senators need to ask tough smart questions and get her to admit her positions.

I hope today doesn’t turn into a pick on Lefty day but Lefty you really have to not be paying attention or really too ingrained in the PC racism definitions to not see the obvious with SoSo’s pick….

She was over-turned on siding with another court about a Reverse-discrimination case (oxymoron, of course, no such thing – discrimination is discrimination and we are supposed to have EQUAL JUSTICE not Empathetic and/or Redistributive Justice…. the 14 Legislative agenda items (and other things) Obama wants to distract from
