Scotus pick
What's her record on the 2nd amendment?
Didn't some liberal blogger already make a snarky comment about her diabetes and life expectancy? |

Well, golly, gee-whiz, what a wonderful advocate of states' rights. Does that apply to all civil liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights? |

Now we have our first real controversy: is Sotomayor is confirmed, is she the first Hispanic on the court.
One argument says Cardozo was the first Hispanic, as he was of Portugese descent. Some arguments about the definition of "Hispanic": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispanic Maybe modern day Hispanics don't care for the fact that the first Hispanic member of the Supreme Court was a Jewish white male. Who knows. So now, it is agreed by all, that Sotomayor would be the first "Latina" on SCOTUS. Meanwhile Asian-Americans shake their fists at the sky. |

http://arizonaccwpermit.com/2009/04/...ted-to-states/ Is the 1st amendment incorporated? I don't remember any language in the amendment to suggest that it is. |

Axelrod, interviewed today, said that Obama prayed last night about his decision to choose Sotomayor.
I thought that was interesting. I don't think many people here have a problem with Obama praying about his decisions, right? |
