Less than half of Americans support Sotomayor nomination. Most Americans don't want judges legislating from the bench! It's not too late to fight. Let your legislators know there's a price to pay for robbing Americans of their constitutional rights.
"Wendy Long, of the Judicial Confirmation Network, told LifeNews.com the polling results bear out what her group has said about Sotomayor from the start.
"'President Obama promised he would appoint a Supreme Court justice who would decide the 'hard' cases by relying on personal feelings and politics,' she said. 'He fulfilled that promise by nominating Judge Sotomayor, whose record of speeches, law review articles, and judicial decisions, demonstrate that she and President Obama are on the same page when it comes to judicial activism.'"
Eighteen senators say they will vote against the nominee, more than any voting against a Democratic nomination since 1916.
Keep telling your senators to "Vote No" on judicial activism and preferential treatment. The Supreme Court needs a nominee who rules by law not giving special advantages to minorities and discriminating against white men. The symbol of justice is a blind woman holding balance scales to weigh the merits of the case. Sotomayor's weights are rigged. Call your senators and urge them to oppose this pro-abortion judicial activist.

Sotomayor Reversed 60% of the Time
Sixty percent of circuit judge Sonia Sotomayor's decisions have been reversed by the Supreme Court on appeal. See the article. This is the new Washington where a 60% reversal rate gets a judge nominated to the high court, where serving as a community organizer and voting "present" in the state senate qualifies a man to be president, where dodging income taxes is no impediment to being treasury secretary, where sending dead fish to your opponents qualifies a man to be White House chief of staff. (Need I go on?)I think we're living in a Kafka novel or maybe in a matrix gone bad. Hey, maybe it's a pilot for a new reality TV series. Well, whatever it is, keep your sense of humor. In many ways today's reality is so ridiculous you just have to laugh about it --- but say your rosary first.

Obama names sexist judicial activist to Supreme Court
Well, it's official -- Obama has named Latina judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. The controversial appeals court judge has made some pretty weird statements that ought to raise eyebrows. Consider the uproar if a white male judge made the following statement about a woman or a black:
“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,” (Statement made in 2001 at the annual Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California, Berkeley)
She also waved her judicial activist flag in 2005 (on video) speaking to Duke University Law students saying, “court of appeals is where policy is made...." Do we really need another member of the court who makes law by finding rights in the "penumbra" of the Constitution like Harry Blackmun with Roe v. Wade? Judges are supposed to interpret the law, not make it up according to their life experiences and gender identity.
