So what are the chances of a man who belonged to a “Mens Only” club being appointed to the supreme court? Liberals are such sexist, racist hypocrits!

Glad to see you elevating the level of discourse. Going after a woman’s looks and/or sexual orientation- that’s really original.

Well look over the HA site.For women we have pictured Megyn Kelly, cutie, the Iraqi martyr cutie, and even lefty third place but not terrible really, Capricia Marshall. Then there’s Sotomayer. It’s hard to even think of Soto as the same species.

Well perhaps we should discuss how she brings “diversity” to the Supreme Court. No wait,since her job on the Supreme Court is NOT to write new law, but to follow the Constitution, there’s really not much more to comment about.

It isn’t belonging to a group of like mined people but the purpose behind it. Have a look at those members in the Obama administration — White House Council on Women and Girls, March 2009. Padding their resumes so they can get a public/private job when they leave the White House. Brilliant maneuvers. Paid to lobby, run govt. funds, or take taxpayer dollars:

Tina Brown covered this in her article for the Daily Beast (14/06/09) — “what real female power looks like.” Networking. And don’t forget that some women in power are more equal than others:

I don’t have a problem with her belonging to a “women only club”. I think people get too bent out of shape over those things. However – I think Sotomoyor’s views on gender and race are reflected in her choice of groups to belong to and her statements about how her racial/gender background are superior to “old white men”. That view point is flies in the face of what I believe a supreme court judge’s views should be.

Doesn’t anyone question why this is a story when for decades the media has pretended like Bohemian Grove doesn’t exist and that anyone who acknowledges its existence is crazy? Now a few lesbians get together for a private drum circle and it’s some sort of scandal?

They did? I suggest a re-reading of the Alito confirmation transcripts. The vilification is as usual one sided, here? its ho hum, for Alito, not quite.

Supreme Court will now feature it’s two women. The wicked Witch Of The West, and Soto, the Latina Lady Circus Freak.
Proof LIBERAL WOMEN should be required to wear bags over their heads in public.

What’s with her face, so many areas that look swollen. Are they face fat? Perhaps face lipo would help. I’d call her a dog but I love dogs and would never insult them like that.

Now a few lesbians get together for a private drum circle and it’s some sort of scandal? If it’s A-OK for male politicians to get together with each other in private meetings and conduct secret rituals and pledge to give preferential treatment to each other and plot to control the reins of government and engineer society then why isn’t it OK for women to do it? And if it isn’t OK then 90% of the Congress and Senate needs to step down.

The question is; are we getting the best available? This is a lifetime position to the highest court. One would think that logic would prevail over identity politics and affirmative action candidates [whom] needed grade help, twice, and actually got the chances she had because of her nationality. She doesn’t appear any worse really but nor does she stand out, at all. She does however hold significant baggage in that she appears totally wrapped up in identity politics and in the end, has the temerity to ascribe bias to institutions that in fact got her where she is, she reminds me of an old sourpuss whom has a free ham under an arm and complains she has no bag to put it in. can we trust her to be fair? Not in my opinion. We need the best and balanced.

You know why they really stopped calling after that? Guys only have pig parties every once in a while.

But she said she didn’t want questions about it to “distract anyone from my qualifications and record.”

With the mediocre quality of her qualifications and work, she should be happy to have the distraction.

[...] Allah Pundit: I get that the uproar over this is a reprisal for the left wetting itself over Alito belonging to a men-only club, but isn’t this kind of … stupid? The hallmark of true discrimination is the shared sentiment that those who don’t belong to the empowered group are somehow inferior. Is that really what’s going on with (most) clubs that are restrictive by gender? It’s not a superiority/inferiority thing, it’s a gender-differences-are-relevant-to-comfort-levels thing. And before anyone yells at me, bear in mind that even our Equal Protection jurisprudence observes that distinction: Racially discriminatory laws are analyzed with “strict scrutiny, meaning that they’re (almost) always unconstitutional, whereas laws that discriminate by gender are analyzed with “intermediate scrutiny,” meaning they need to have a good reason to discriminate for a court to uphold them.

If I understand the point of the article, she quit so that it wouldn’t be a distraction for her confirmation hearings…the way the Dems were distrated by Alito’s club membership. I do believe the libs “started this” at that time.

Personally, I don’t give a rip who belongs to what club…sometimes men want to talk to other men, sometimes women want to talk to women, without the distraction or interruption of the opposite gender.

I’m not the most confident person in the world, but I certainly am not threatened by the thought that there is a male-only club out there that I can’t join simply because I’m a female.

OK, I think y’all are way off base here. First, in case you missed it, men and women are different. It’s a male-female species thing. Are we really getting to the point that if a man belongs to an all men’s golf club that he should be disqualified for public office? If women have a social or political club that discusses female issues, should they now be disqualified. How about someone that goes to a Christian church that only allows Christians to attend and participate? Should that person now be exculded from public office? Gheesh…I am not a supporter of Sotomayor for Justice, but, come’on, complaining about this is becoming like the progressives and libs.

The club abides by the rules of freedom of association, so I don’t have an issue with it. She didn’t need to resign the club.

She’s extremely unqualified for a host of other reasons.

She’s incompetent.
She’s a socialist.
She’s a bigot.

does anyone really have a problem with Sotomayor belonging to this dopey elitist group?

I thought it was bovine excrement in Alito’s case and I think the same thing here. I don’t care that they belong to a boy’s/girl’s club. It’s a freaking non-issue except for the hysterical bedwetting demagogues on the left.

Oh wait. Except for the keyboard, that’s what you’re doing isn’t it?
