Should Sonia Sotomayor Be On The Supreme Court?

You’ve read about Sonia Sotomayor’s rulings and about her, what do you think? Is she Supreme Court material? Is she a racist as Rush and Newt tell you? If she’s qualified, should she be confirmed or opposed because of how you think she might vote on specific issues? Should she be opposed just because Obama nominated her? Should she be confirmed just because she is female, Hispanic and was nominated by the President?

Have at it!

    #98, Lyin’ Mike,

    Why don’t you try reading the decision. Scalia, Roberts, Thomas, and Alito believe it is acceptable that Judges may rule on cases where one of the parties donated $3 million to the Judges campaign.

    We have seen how Scalia feels it is acceptable for a Supreme Court Justice to go on a weekend hunting trip with one of the parties in a major case shortly before the case is heard.

    Nope try again.

    Hint, the Supreme Court generally isn’t asked to make a decision on its own, but rather to review other court decisions. Slight difference that changes things. Try reading the ruling and the dissent, and maybe you’ll understand things.

    Lyin’ Mike,

    RE #94,

    If you are going to use quotations, you should reference them. Second, as they are from speeches, grammar takes a back seat to clarity and understanding. Besides, I have read judicial decisions from other judges that also contain grammatical errors.

    RE #101,

    the Supreme Court generally isn’t asked to make a decision on its own, but rather to review other court decisions.

    Nothing could be further from the truth. All court decisions are rulings. Trial Courts decide facts. Appeal Courts are designed to decide the law and become final unless over ruled by a higher court.

    Finally, since you are too ignorant to look, here,

    The court today continues its quixotic quest to right all wrongs and repair all imperfections through the Constitution,

    The relevant question, however, is whether we do more good than harm by seeking to correct this imperfection through expansion of our constitutional mandate in a manner ungoverned by any discernible rule. The answer is obvious.

    Justice Scalia

    The wrong being a Judge that benefited from $3 million in campaign help.

    “It is an old cliché,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. wrote in a dissent, “but sometimes the cure is worse than the disease.”

    “The end result,” the chief justice wrote, “will do far more to erode public confidence in judicial impartiality than an isolated failure to recuse in a particular case.”

    Chief Justice Roberts

    So a Judge that fails to recuse himself will erode public confidence in the judicial system. Judges being bribed or influenced though won’t.

    Ya right. Read the effen decision.

  4. MikeN says:

    All those quotes and no understanding. And I thought you might get it for once.

    The judge that failed to recuse is the judge who was bribed. Read the while thing, and maybe you’ll get it.

  5. Mr. Fusion says:

    Lyin’ Mike,

    You continue to tell me to read something you haven’t. If you have something to refute my comment then post it. If not, then accept that you lied and are wrong.
