I really don't know much about Sonia Sotomayor, the newly named Obama nominee to the US Supreme Court. Some say she's a liberal, the WSJ says she supports business, but Newt Gingrich says she's a racist.
Gimme a break!
How desperate will the Republicans get over challenging this nomination? Apparently, they can't mount much of a challenge when on two separate occasions, Senate Republicans approved her nomination to the Federal Court system. As the party of the "big tent" (the biggest euphemism in the world), and with the recruiting hand out to bring Hispanics into the Republican Party (the party opposed to meaningful immigration policies), opposing Ms. Sotomayor is another kiss of death for the party of Lincoln as they become more and more the party of no and tired old white people found primarily in the south.
So, one of the Republican talking points will be Ms. Sotomayor sees the world through her unique eyes: A Latina who sees the world differently from a white guy. I hope so!

Just when you think the RNC (Rush, Newt, Cheney) can't get another nail into the GOP coffin they manage to bang another one it. I fully support them in their efforts!
Ahhhh, how refreshing to read your words of reason...
At the rate they are going, the repugs will be able to hold their next convention in a pup tent.
The gall of a bunch of racists calling someone else racist is astounding. May they have even greater success in destroying themselves. I found a great quote for what they are doing:
All seems infected that the infected spy,
As all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye.
-Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, 1711
I heard it best described as Obama as the Roadrunner- putting forth this brilliant legal mind, who was previously confirmed by Republicans, appointed to the Federal Bench by Bush 41, and a Hispanic Woman-- a demographic the GOP desperately needs to win anything--- while the GOP is the Coyote, standing there with lit ACME dynamite in hand.
Like the Coyote, they (the GOP) just can't win!
But we can count on them throwing Anvils in the confirmation hearings.....
Beep Beep!
