Has it ever occured to you that it is not so much as trying to get someone's vote as it is to keep a country one might want to live in. Why court someone who it totally out of touch with decent morals and rightful living? I don't want my hard earned money to be paying to murder babies and she is certainly for that. We don't need the likes of her, no matter what race she is. Justice is supposed to be blind to things like that and she isn't. If Democrats vote her in they are doing it with the full knowledge of her prejudices. The downfall of the United States will be their fault.
Funny how it's never racial or prejudice...it's just that every minority seems to be out of touch with conservatives, from Sotomayor, Obama, to Steele.

I know how Sotomayor and Obama stand on abortion. How does Steele feel about it? What does that have to do with race? A lot of white people love murdering babies too. I agree that there are a lot of other races that are prejudiced against the white population, expecially the white male.
I just noticed you are from New York. LOL I am right on the money!

Just a coincidence I guess. Your argument seems to be that minorities are too liberal for conservatives. I guess cause I'm from NY that means me as well. Would you be offended if I pegged all of you southern country people with a broad brush? Probably not because you sound like you're from the exact mold. Next election cycle when minorities overwhelmingly vote against your conservative candidate of choice, you should reflect on Sotomayors demonization and mis characterization, and then examine how Obama was painted. See Sotomayor is part of la raza and Obama is an angry black man (rev. wright). When the right stops it's pandering to the base with its racism (that you guys seem to deny) then perhaps they will understand and then start to compete for the minority vote. As long as those such as yourself fall so easily for their lies I don't see that hapening anytime soon.
Actually, I meant both. But Graham did say that McCain lost and elections have consequences. I wouldn't be surprised if he actually ends up voting for her. But he isn't married????? Has he ever been married? I know he is in the Air Force, I know he loves McCain, and I know he is from S. Carolina. That is about all I knew about him. Not married huh? How old is he? Hmmm.
The last time Lindsay Graham ran for office his website proclaimed him to be a proud veteran of Desert Storm.
That was before someone noted that the closest Graham had ever gotten to the Mideast was Mideast Charleston, S.C., where he spent that time period in the Adjutant General's office.
I don't know anything about Graham's personal life, but he is an excellent person to be questioning the prospective supreme court candidate. I think we can all pretty well see where she is coming from and it is the normal warped New York influenced mind. Certainly not what I would choose to have on the supreme court. It probably won't matter because the Democrats have the votes and they don't care about having a normal person on the court. That is what is wrong with America today. Too many warped minds running the country which tells me there are too many warped minds voting them in. Sad situation.

Actually, there is NO evidence that she is pro-choice. The fact that she said she would respect previous court rulings and precedent are not evidence of her personal views on abortion. She is a practicing Catholic so she has surely considered abortion rights in the context of her religion. She has NEVER aired her personal feelings on the issue, so in terms of this confirmation her stance on this issue is unknown.
As for judgments with regards to race. Her rulings on immigration cases would probably be the best indicators. And she has ruled in accordance with CONSERVATIVE positions over 80% of the time on these cases. And when hearing appeals on immigration cases over 90% of her decisions have fallen into the CONSERVATIVE side.
If you consider her actual opinions and judicial rulings, you would see that she is probably more conservative than Souter, whom she will be replacing. But if you want to take the Rush Limbaugh approach, and judge her solely based on her ethnicity and gender, then you might argue that she would be more liberal. That would be a discriminatory approach, based on prejudices and stereotypes rather than actually studying her record, but it seems like an approach that some people actually prefer.
Jeff Sessions, the Alabama Republican who took over the post from Pennsylvania Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter, is under intense pressure to land blows on Sotomayor without offending Hispanic voters. It's a tough task, made all the more difficult by Sessions' history of racially insensitive positions and statements.
What would these "racially insensitive positions and statements" be? Did Sessions claim that simply by virtue of his gender, his race, and his rich life experiences, that his conclusions were always better then any Hispanics?
