Unwise Decision By White Males?
Newest Supreme Court Legislature Incoming
By Andrew deRenzy
Thursday, August 6th, 2009, 14:58Was it an unwise decision because the senate is mostly white males?
Sotomayor will be confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice [or Supreme Court Legislature in her mind]
I guess we can’t have people being judged on their merits, and they can do a 180 when they are under pressure and not receive criticism.
Of course every dem voted for her with 9 reps and 2 indies also voting in favor
The 9 republicans were: Lamar Alexander (TN), Kit Bond (MO), Susan Collins (ME), Lindsey Graham (SC), Judd Gregg (NH), Dick Lugar (IN), Mel Martínez (FL), Olympia Snowe (ME) and George Voinovich (OH).
I’m also having a tough time figuring out why Edward Kennedy (D-MA) can get away with a did not vote but declared support. Some just don’t want to miss the bandwagon even if it means holding onto the Senator title while dying. You can’t do your job, let someone else represent your state full time.

I don’t know what’s left to say at this point after weeks of blather, except maybe that there’s a fair chance of a bona fide Chris Matthews racial leg thrill this afternoon on “Hardball.” He had one just yesterday, in fact, in response to Clinton bringing home those two journalists from North Korea. Can he muster another today or does he need more, er, “recovery time”?
