The case against the controversial Left-Wing Extremist judge Sonia Sotomayor's appointment to the Supreme Court continues to grow ever stronger.
Lawyers who have argued cases before Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor call her "nasty," "angry" and a "terror on the bench," according to the current Almanac of the Federal Judiciary -- a kind of Zagat's guide to federal judges.
The withering evaluation of Judge Sotomayor's temperament stands in stark contrast to reviews of her peers on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Of the 21 judges evaluated, the same lawyers gave 18 positive to glowing reviews and two judges received mixed reviews. Judge Sotomayor was the only one to receive decidedly negative comments.
Judge Sotomayor's demeanor on the bench will be one of the issues the Senate Judiciary Committee tackles when she appears for her confirmation hearing. A lack of a good temperament has been used as a line of attack against nominees in the past - most notably conservative Judge Robert H. Bork, whose nomination to the Supreme Court was defeated.
Hey, Barack... you said that your job was bigger than you are.
So, considering that, and expecting you to prove that you weren't just saying what the teleprompter told you to say, you must therefore swallow your pride and forget about any ego and do the correct thing: Nominate someone else instead. Someone untainted by judicial activism and bigotry.
It's not that hard. Just do it. Yes you can! Come on, where's that "audacity"? Have the audacity to do the correct thing! You do NOT have to be a leftist! You CAN tell your master George Soros to go to hell! Break free of the shackles of Soros! Are you your own man or does someone own you? Come on, prove yourself independent and impervious to interference! Prove you have a mind of your own. Use it. Do the correct thing and appoint a judge with an unimpeachable record! Screw that nonsensical Left-wing gobbleddygook about "diversity" on the bench! You're the President of the United States, dammit, and you have the power to tell your wealthy oppressors on the Hard Left that you'll no longer tolerate their attempts to tell you what to do. Fire them all!
NO to Sotomayor. Bad judge! Would take away peoples' rights because she's an extreme ideologue! People are afraid of what she's likely to do. Rights would disappear!
Can't sacrifice civil rights for the sake of politically-correct "diversity" optics!
Unfortunately, the man is, after all, a Manchurian President and is controlled by powerful folks behind the scenes. He doesn't have the balls to tell them to feck off and is content to just do whatever he's told. Some President.
