[...] Ed Morrissey dives into the crosstabs and shows that the internal numbers may be even more troubling for Obama’s first SCOTUS nominee. As usual, the crosstabs tell an interesting story. First, the most damaging numbers may not come from the confirmation question at all, which is a statistical split. Her favorability rankings look simply terrible for someone supposedly outside the political arena. She has a net favorability of -13, with 49% having an unfavorable view of Sotomayor. She has a -8 among women (47%-39% unfavorable) and a -16 among men (53%-37% unfavorable). Majorities find her unfavorable in almost every income bracket, with the exception of Comments (0) Leave a comment [...]

I wish there was one senator . . . just one, who would stand up and say that he opposed Sotomayor because she is plainly an ugly hose bag! Think of the fun that comment would cause. If the dems can trash Katherine Harris, the former Sec. of State of Florida, that way, then its time we start looking at some of these ugly Dem. nominees and reminding them they are – - in fact – - ugly. In Sotomayor’s case, in more ways than one!

Thanks. I did understand what you meant. But I too can be counterproductive. Trying to be good is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard! Thank God for chocolate.

I know you’ve done more than that. You set a good example, which is a very difficult thing to do. And for this, I thank you.

Loxodonta on July 1, 2009 at 5:52 PM

Thanks. Of course so do you. Especially with your candy and cookie bribery. :)

Sometimes even counterproductively. My husband’s something of a liberal, and I keep telling him he should vote. He doesn’t, which is good for the rest of us, but I still think he should. We live in an incredible country, and that’s one of the things I love most about it.

Correction-Sotomayor would be the first America hating Latino but the second Latino/Latina on the SC. The first would be Benjamin Cardozo (of Portuguese ancestry) who served in 1932.

You know what is interesting is that probably the most hailed decision ever, Brown v. Board of Education, was a case of the court overstepping their power.

Terry Silver on July 1, 2009 at 5:48 PM

I agree that it was and wish the country had dealt with that differently. It’s likely harmed the Court ever since.

Either way I gotta go, so good night.

Terry Silver on July 1, 2009 at 5:53 PM

Good night. I appreciate the respectful discourse.

Well I’m kind of torn on it. I just really have a problem with people taking away my right to privacy whether its constitutional or not.

Terry Silver on July 1, 2009 at 5:45 PM

But those issues can still be addressed. The Supreme Court isn’t supposed to be making law, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have branches of the government that are supposed to.

Think about it this way. Who do you trust more to guard your privacy? Nine unelected people who are accountable to no one and will maintain their offices until they die or decide to retire, or your elected representatives and/or your own fellow countrymen?

I believe the Founders had it right.

What have you done to change the status quo?

Terry Silver on July 1, 2009 at 5:39 PM

The way to change the status quo through government action is within our constitutional framework.

Yet, each of us can also change the status quo of our culture in our words and deeds. I have devoted a lot of my life to working against bigotry, volunteering to help the poor, the disabled, and the elderly. Even here in this blog, I defend people with whom I strongly disagree.

What are you doing in your own words and deeds?

I’m passionate about this. I don’t want to live in an aristocracy and can’t imagine anyone does.

Call me flawed but something tells me she is 50-50% on being next SCOTUS… AA is finished regardless.

By: Esthier

Esthier — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 21:40:19 +0000

it tears down some of the framework that protects our rights.

And isn’t what what you’re concerned about, Terry? You seem to agree with me on this issue. So why support Justices who are out of touch with this concept?

In all sincerity, it’s not a partisan issue for me, and I abhor the fact that it’s become one. I’d much rather have a Justice who stuck to the Constitution, even if it meant my personal politics being deemed unconstitutoinal, than to have someone who just went with what he/she wanted or thought was right even if that person agreed with me 100%.

It’s dangerous to give anyone the power that you seem to believe is OK to give to the Justices.
