Obama has made his choice for a judge to replace the retiring one on the Supreme Court…how fortunate for Pelosi…she now gets a temporary break from the bashing she has been taking at the hands of the conservatives, both on air personalities and the not so popular bloggers on the right.
Well at least the conservatives are consistant, they are still attacking a woman. I asked the question about a month ago here on Info Ink. I asked if the GOP and its lot were sexist. I aked because of the attacks they, the GOP, have been having against women, like Pelosi, Sibelius and Napolitano.
Pelosi was in China trying to get them to cooperate on climate change and probably got very little of the cooperation she was looking for since she has been an outspoken critic of the government in China. Her only good news for now is that Sotomayor is taking all the heat that she would be getting, at least for now. I am sure that she is only getting a temporary lapse and the bashing will soon return.
Anyway, I digress..the conservs are taking careful aim at Sotomayor. They have attacked her IQ, her name, her eating habits, her temperment and a racist. All their attacks are just so damn silly……so damn lame…….and so damn predictable.
She will be confirmed……Repubs just want to have their say……it is all just a fundraising ploy….she will be confirmed.
The republicans are talking about her missing the forest for the trees. Yet, they are collectively doing the same thing. The best thing for them to focus on is the fact that it looks like she considers the judiciary as a means to legislate.
But you know that Alito said basically the same thing as Sotomayor in his confirmation hearings but NO one is talking about that…..
That might explain why it is not getting as much press as I think it should.
