Lugar says he will vote for two-faced judge (updated)


What is wrong with Republican Senators? Do they want to continue in the minority forever? The MSM has just reported that Luger (RINO-Ind) indicates he will vote for Sotomayor as a Supreme Court Justice. Listen up you idiot. The Democrats do not need a single Republican to place this lying piece of garbage on the Supreme Court. This is their excuse for a nominee. Let them own her. Have you learned nothing, NOTHING, from the previous extreme liberal activists that President Clinton nominated? Are you not able to read the polls? A plurality of voters oppose her. What is happening to our country? What is wrong with Republicans in the Senate? Lugar has just cut off at the knees all his colleagues who have been trying to make the case against Democrat activism on the courts.

I say it is time to let loose the dogs of political war against Lugar. We need to flood his email and phone lines. Maybe we can ship him those (playground) balls that we did a while back? He needs to know that rank and file Republicans are not happy.

[Update] Martinez (FL) and Snowe (ME) have also indicated they will vote for Sotomayor. Snowe is no surprise. (And Collins (ME) won’t be either, although there would be more pressure on them if the rest of the Republicans could stay in line.) Martinez is a disappointment, good riddance in 2010. Anyone hear how Crist and Rubio stand on Sotomayor?

Not in Indiana, but thought it was worth a try. I told him that this pick was going through anyway, there was no reason to sully the party by voting for this judicial lightweight (in so many words).

The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crisis, maintain their neutrality.

and here is the press release:

“I have listened to the testimony of Judge Sonia Sotomayor before the Senate Judiciary Committee, carefully reviewed her public service record, and reviewed recommendations from Indiana constituents and colleagues here in the Senate. Judge Sotomayor is clearly qualified to serve on the Supreme Court and she has demonstrated a judicial temperament during her week-long nomination hearing. Judge Sotomayor has had a distinguished career of public service. She is well regarded in the legal community and by her peers. I will vote to confirm Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination to serve as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.”

Sotomayor is not fit for confirmation

Freedoms Truth (Diary) Friday, July 17th at 2:45PM EST (link)

on account of her questionable rulings, disregard for basic constitutional liberties (2nd amendment), and questionable statements that indicate the lack of judicial respect for rule of law. Her statements this week make it worse.

Any Senator who votes ‘aye’ is not living up to their responsibilities.

 

Dick Lugar is a waste of oxygen

I forwarded this on to my parents and brother who live in Indiana to let them know.

Let’s get down to brass tacks here. How much for the ape?

…Which leads me to think around 30 GOP Senators will vote ‘No’.

And Martinez is no surprise – he’s just playing (bankrupt) ethnic politics.
