Fri, 17 Jul 2009 11:17:52 +0000 http://www.foundry.org/?p=10852#comment-42756 We are deciding whether Sotomayer is capable of handling a lifetime appointment to the SC. We deserve a candidate that can articulate her true feelings on matters when asked to speak about them. This is something she seems to be incapable or unwilling to do. It is wonderful that she made it to the confirmation process for the highest court in the land but decisions should not be based on being a latina, from a low-income neighborhood, or any standard other than the fact that she is a human being that strived for a goal and made it. That should be the only message we are considering here. Anything else puts a racial bias on the procedings. If a white male responded in the manor she has chosen or has been coached into, would we all be reacting the same way? Would his background be considered as hers has? If he said a wise white man might make a better decision would he even be at these procedings? The racial overtones are ridiculous. I empathize with her achievements but give no sympathies and wish the Senators would do the same in the name of fairness.

Sotomayor is not being honest with the questions asked. I have a bad feeling about her. The president has known people with shady reputations in his past. He has the ability to pic the wrong people to help this country. It's amazing how the people on the continent close their eyes to this fact. I just can't understand how he is getting away with these odd actions. He is also friends with leftist organizations that do not have good intentions for the American ideals that I grew up with. Time will tell. I wish that I were wrong. It seems to me that all of President Obamas's candidates, cabinet and czars are not qualified for their jobs, specially in the crisis we are in.

Any Senator who does, needs to get voted out of office for violating their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution. We need to let our Senators know ( I have) that this person does not belong on the Supreme Court. I'm not very bright, but even I can see she isn't that smart. She's definitely sneaky, she's hiding her true liberal(policy from the bench)colors.

I could only watch a few minutes of the hearings because all of her responses seemed calculated and prepared. (She was just plain lying.) It was obvious that her emotionless, dead-pan delivery on every answer was only in an effort to keep her from a "meltdown" and exposing her true character. Actions always speak louder than words and for both Sotomayor and Jesus 2.0 (BHO), no one should listen to what they have to say - only to what they are doing (or have done).

Each time, she seems to be in a daze when she is spoken to by the committee members, then her responses are avoident when addressing the actual question (especially if 2 part) and she only states the law. Well, what would you do, how do you feel about certain situations --we really need to know where you're at on these issues that are vital to protecting our constitution and how you feel about everyday life occurences and fairness in resolution WITH justification.

It is easy to see how the voting population has been mis-lead by the totality of all the lies put forth by the Democratic Party. Sotomayor's testimony is another example of saying one thing while believing something else. The day she takes the oath is the last day she will ever adjudicate on the principles she testified to at the hearings. We conservatives may not be able to stop this train of destruction right now, but we can let the American people know that it is wrong and bad for everyone. With firm statements of principles, the voters will have clear choices to make in 2010.
