Can't wait for the nonsense he nominates this time around... I'm guessing he'll go for the court's first asian tranny, who claims itself smarter than any white judge.

Vermin's "wife" is a lawyer?

Go figure.

GOOD ONE!!!!

Will be interesting to see if he can get his next unqualified minority whitey hating nominee through the Senate... especially since the GOP owns Sens Lincoln and Nelson along with their 41 seats.

YES....remember for most of the year dems have scolded us and lectured us about

ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES..

WELL that worm has sure turned hasnt it?
we may be forever indebted to the voters of MASS last month.

Justice Edwards? Too soon?

Based on the women he's got a history with, it looks like that's Sotomayor's best chance of getting laid

I'm guessing he'll go for a black handicapped pregnant lesbian. That oughta cover it.

I still go back to one pundit saying that backroom talk was a supreme appointment to napolitano..

what an incompetent hack she is....

as long as its to replace the liberal judges who kick the bucket, we may be able to save the republic after all.........

ACTUALLY...I never thought they were as good without diana ross........

Honestly Bush's most arrogant and asshole-ish move. Thankfully pretty much everyone called him on it, and thankfully we ended up with a much better justice.

Only wish our senators showed the same balls with the Sonya Tacomayor

Now I know why I missed Rob

You forgot (midget) :-)

Barry has alerted some of his radical buddies about the possiblity of appointment to the SCOTUS so they can get out of their lawn chairs and sober up because their might be a mandatory drug test in their future.

I always viewed miers nomination as a cynical move to make roberts seem more acceptable, though from what I could tell he was qualified for the noimination.

I'd like to believe that but I think it was just arrogance mixed with a healthy dose of stupidity. He probably thought since he was replacing a conservative he could throw anyone in there he wanted and no one would say anything but yes. Really glad they told him to fuck off on that Palpatine looking slag.

Obama's First Supreme Court Nominee will be White House Information "Czar" Cass Sunstein...

"What's wrong with Sunstein?"...The Obanoids will scream..."The Republicans arn't working with us...Why do Conservatives‎ think they deserve a Constitutional right to Freedom of Speech"

What other Anti-Constitutional BOZO the administration will trot out to fill the other position on the Court...I'm too afraid to think about.

I hope he nominates shrub's BFF Harriet Myers. She was, afterall, the most qualified person shrub could think of.

HILLARY CLINTON AN ERIC HOLDER, THAT WOULD BE THE TWO BEST JUSTICES THE PRESIDENT COULD SEND UP, REALLY PISS OFF THE REPUBS!!!!!!!

"Honestly Bush's most arrogant and asshole-ish move."

With so many to choose from how can you choose just one??? For me, it had to be "Mission Accomplished."

nah that would be bring it on as it lead to the deaths of many us soldiers

Celisary is fucking crazy

Celisary is fucking crazy

FUCK YOU, rob the A HOLE yeah you are an A HOLE because you know you are a TOTAL DOOSH! All that ther is in life is PISSING OFF REPUBS AND THAT IS FUN and sometimes I drink TOO but that isn't all the time. OH YEAH you know what if you really have something good to say you gotta post it in ALL CAPS. You post in PUSSY ASS LOWERCASE because you are a PUSSY ASS RETHUGLITARD.

Now that get's a funny flag! You forgot the excessive punctuation though :)

Cel, you should realize two things:

1) "pissing off the Repubs" is a stupid reason to nominate someone to a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

2) typing in all caps does NOT make your argument stronger, better, clearer, or more insightful.
Quite the contrary.

I believe Ruth BAder Ginsburg has a duty to her country to resign soon enough so that her replacement may be selected before the end of Obama's term. It is just not smart for her to remain in her position if there is any chance that a Republican president would appoint her replacement. Nothing against her but she should consider future generations who will be stuck with the decisions of a radical right wing court and we are either already there or very near it.

Yeah Ginsburg!! Shut up and die of pancreatic cancer already you selfish whore!

The Republicans need to remember two little words...Philly and Buster. Force homey to send a competent and qualified candidate...not some racist like he did last time. It would be nice if he could find someone that had actually READ the Constitution....

Of course if the two will just hold on for four years, I am sure the Republican president that will be in office at that time will be able to find someone competent to serve.

HRC with no judicial background. And Holder?? Obviously you are just trying to divide people.

Well hopefully Janet homeland napolitano has blown her chances. She was on obama's short list as recently as Dec 2009

Are you honestly suggesting that Sotomayor is not competent?
Are you honestly suggesting that Sotomayor is not qualified?

Seriously, how much more qualified would you need her to be?

It's also interesting you'd say "force homey", and then (seemingly) advocate against racism.
Cute.

Are you honestly suggesting that Sotomayor has not read the Constitution?
Or do you just have a problem with her interpretations not being identical to yours?
Which would indicate it's really not about competence or qualifications.

Curious, have you read it?
If so, what makes you think she hasn't?

Do me a favor: Name a SCOTUS opinion of hers (be it majority, minority, concurring, dissenting, whatever) that you disagree with, and explain why.
And do so using arguments that make it very clear to us that you've read the Constitution.

The Tom,

I really don't have time to do a complete analysis of her opinions for you. However, I have read the Constitution. I can pick three examples of her previous rulings (I am not going to be confined to the SCOTUS opinions...it is not like her judicial history began there...besides, I see ONE opinion that sh WROTE and several that she merely "joined".)

1. Second Amendment - Maloney v. Cuomo. She contended that the Second Amendment has never been applied to the states and therefore decided a private citizen does not have a right to bear arms that is protected from his state government. A plain reading of the 14th Amendment applies the basic rights and protections to the states.

2. Discrimination - Ricci v. Desteffano - the Firefighter case. Finding that the City could void an objective promotion test on the basis that only white people performed well enough to be advanced. (This one was OVERRULED by the Supremes later....maybe they concluded she didn't understand "Equal Protection" also.)

3. Property Rights - Brody v. Village of Port Chester - Permitted the taking of private property for "Public use" in a "redevelopment" project. This is violative of the 5th Amendment "taking" clause. "redevelopment" is not a "public use".

"Only wish our senators showed the same balls with the Sonya Tacomayor"

Um, Rob, does it ever occur to you that we libs are trying to be decent by considering Chief Justice Roberts' epilepsy to be out of bounds as fodder for jokes?

What somebody is by birth or medical history should be off limits in this kind of discussion. What they do is where the comedy is, or should be.

The typical righties are already in Obstructionist Mode.

Odd, considering he hasn't even named anyone.

While I thought that Sotomyers' opinions in the firefighter case were wrong, and the comment about a 'wise latina' were troubling, I don't believe either of those makes her unqualified. If BO gets to pick other candidates, I believe they will represent his belief that feeling is more important than law, and that the ends justify the means. If you have results, like the firefighter tests, and you don't like the results, then simply change the rules. If states pass laws that you don't like, simply ignore them, or throw them out.

I have a problem with this approach to law. I think it is dangerous. I don't KNOW that BO's future nominiees will take this approach... but I am quite sure that is what he will be aiming for.

I thought the job of a judge was to interpret the law (as passed by legislative bodies).

But let's ignore those legislative bodies, okay? Don't you feel better now?
