If the hypocritical Republicans want to make themselves look more stupid then they need to continue on their path of hypocrisy. According to bar polls Sotomayor voted with Republican judges 97% of the time. So how they want to isolate one appellate ruling out of 9 justices voting is about the dumbest thing they could do. But who can remember when the GOP has demonstrated any intelligence or common sense this decade??

"The GOP has their witnesses." Need we say more? When will they stop trying to undermine our President? We all know the answer to that.

There is no chance she will not be confirmed. The Democrats have control of the House and Senate. The fact is she is a racist and will be biased.

To me Jack, it shows more about these firefighters than about Judge Sotomayor.

She sided with the City of New Haven not against the with white firefighter. I guess the other for supreme court judges who sided with her are racist also?

I hope so. Listening to my gut feeling i do not trust her. This is not based on gender or race–just something about her and my gut feelings have yet to prove me wrong.

I think they should derail it with all possible speed. That ruling of hers scares the crap out of me. She proved beyond a doubt that she is rabidly anti-white, and should be de-throned ASAP.

No they can't. Once again the GOP are making themselves seem like a both of uptight white males scare a qualified minority. All her peers call overqualified fair, and an ethnical judges. Because she sided against the white firefighters she racist. It's stupid, baseless, desperate, and show you really voting Republican.

In my opinion, Sotomayor's comment about Latina women vs. White men on decisions should have ruled her out!!!! Citizens are kicked out of juries due to the fact that they are biased. Why should the judge remain on the case if she is biased? What is this world coming to? Minorities are now majorities, let's add up the numbers and quit giving people free rides. Get with it people.

No. The Firefighter case will not derail Sotomayor approval. She is almost a shoe in, due to Democratic control at this point. Republicans have to show that they are willing to put up a fight in any case, voice their opinion and support constiuents concerns.
