I heard today the most convincing argument that Judge Sonia Sotomayor is unfit for appointment to a lifetime, no revoking position on the highest court in the land. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Leahy did the trick. Although Leahy was insistent upon an approval vote today, he grudgingly agreed to waiting for one week, I assume to give a misleading impression of fairness. He would only go so far with this impression, because he included the guarantee that the committee would approve the nomination. That statement may have been is the most honest statement the slimy Leahy ever uttered, because the Republicans have insufficient power on the committee offer anything but token defense. Leahy, aka Senator Leaky, was at one time on the Intelligence Committee and is the only Senator the Committee ever canned for leaking government/military secrets to the press. One can learn much about the way Sotomayer will rule on the court with a brief look at her past statements and the type groups that are supporting her. Of course, for starters, Obama picked her and he was the most liberal Senator in Congress and is now proving our most liberal President. You know about her racist statements and declaration that appellate courts really do make rather than judge the law. The following groups have fallen in line to support her nomination: abortion rights group NARAL, unions, Mexican/American groups, Immigration liberalization groups and anti-gun groups.
