They say she's "not smart enough" to be a SC Justice? Really? Tell me, how does one graduate at the top of the class, at any college, and not be smart? And these are the same asshats who supported Dubya? The same ones who thought Palin was the best choice for VP?
I have heard a lot of criticism of something she said back in 2001:
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life”
Her words in that quote seem to make sense. I didn't perceive it as a "racist" statement. Different people, from different backgrounds and racial blends is NOT a bad thing! Our country is after all, made up of males, females, young, old, black, white, and brown--varying shades of all. Our country is also made up of people with all kinds of ethnic backgrounds. We are NOT a country of just old rich white men.
Mike Huckabee made me laugh:
The appointment of Maria Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication yet that President Obama's campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric.
He couldn't even get her first name right! Hmmm, was there a little racism involved in that? Hispanic, female--name must be 'Maria'.
Of course, it has since been corrected--see Huckabee's website, HucPAC
Limpballs has called her an angry bigot. Rove told Greta Van SuckUp that she (Sotomayor) "pays too much attention to grammar" and compared her to a "schoolmarm". I also read several places, that Mark Krikorian from the National Review has issues with pronouncing Sotomayor correctly. Ridiculous!
I honestly believe, if the President had nominated Jesus Christ for the Supreme Court, the Asshats of Wingnuttia would have found fault with him too!

It is utterly insane. And so plainly, obviously insane. They're not trying to hide it at all anymore.
No, they really aren't. If they keep up with this line of talk and reasoning, they will lose out on everything. But that's fine. She is a great choice, but they will keep putting these idiotic arguments up and look stupid in the process.
Just makes 2010 look that much better for the Dems.
All they have left anymore is Teh Stupid™.
