printSotoSetAsides Mayor, whose confirmation hearing starts on Monday—and who’ll be confirmed—is bound to be a judicial wrecking ball. Or, she may prove to be just the dim liberal bulb the doctor ordered.
In case you’re still looking to the Republicans to make a principled stand on anything, CNN reports that they “have promised a fair but thorough hearing … [only] A few have said they intend to vote against her nomination when it reaches the full Senate.”
As always, national treasure Pat Buchanan puts things into perspective by exposing the fraudulent “Ivy-League” institutions that have disgorged Soto So-and-So:
“By her own admission, Sonia Sotomayor is an ‘affirmative action baby.’
Though the Obama media have been ballyhooing her brilliance – No. 1 in high school, No. 1 at Princeton, editor of Yale Law Review – her academic career appears to have been a fraud from beginning to end, a testament to Ivy League corruption.
Two weeks ago, the New York Times reported that, to get up to speed on her English skills at Princeton, Sotomayor was advised to read children’s classics and study basic grammar books during her summers. How do you graduate first in your class at Princeton if your summer reading consists of ‘Chicken Little’ and ‘The Troll Under the Bridge’?
In video clips dating back 25 years, and now provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sotomayor, according to the Times, even calls herself an ‘affirmative action product.'”
Perhaps Bush (Yale and Hahvahd) tutored her on “My Pet Goat”.
Is Sotomayor any less anathema to the things Republicans say they stand for than Bork was to liberals? I think not but does anybody seriously believe there will be any real opposition to her confirmation? Tells you everything you need to know about why Republicans aren’t fit to govern.
