Sotomayor Said That a "Wise Woman" Would Reach Better Conclusions Than a Man, in 1994In 1994. So she obviously believes this, as she merely dusted it off and replaced "woman" with "Latina" in 2001 for her La Raza audience. Misspeaking? Sure. I've written the words "dork her up the squeakhole" a dozen times but each time I "misspoke." I chose my words poorly. I meant something else. What did I mean? I don't know. You tell me what meaning you can assign those words which you will not find offensive, and that's what I meant. In Allah's post he references this silly bit about Rush Limbaugh mulling endorsing Sotomayor, because maybe she's pro-life. This is silly. As a commenter points out at the link, Rush is doing his deadpan irony thing again. He's doing an "Operation Chaos" thing on the liberals, trying to get them to worry about her pro-choice cred. Sotomayor has of course guaranteed Obama precisely which way she'll vote on Roe cases, despite the fact that she will lie under oath in her her Senate testimony and claim she is barred from discussing the subject at all. Oh: Greg Sergeant, Super-Liberal Number 1, thinks the big story here is that "Republicans failed to make an issue of the statement" at her previous confirmation hearing. There is a reason for that. Alfonse D'Amato and Pat Monynihan had an agreement about judges at this time -- one in four nominations, they'd allow the other to push a judge on to the courts. Sotomayor was Moynihan's pick, and the Republicans went along with it because of D'Amato's deal with Moynihan. he first thing you have to understand is how judges are nominated to the federal district courts, which are below the circuit courts of appeal and the Supreme Court. The higher courts are often the stage for ideologically-based confirmation fights. The lower district courts, are, in the words of one former Bush official, "darn near patronage jobs." Senators, even those in the opposing party from the White House, wield great power over who is nominated to the district court seats in their states. And in 1991, when Sotomayor was nominated, the Senate was controlled by Democrats, and the two senators from New York were Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan and Republican Alphonse D'Amato. There is no such deal anymore. And the big story here, despite the insistence of Obama Super Booster Greg Sergeant, is that this is long and deeply held belief of Sotomayor's. She did not "misspeak," and there's not a single liberal who honestly believes she did. Oh-- and it's almost certain no one even knew of this comment, because they don't scour the backgrounds of lowest-level federal judges as they do Supreme Court nominees. But keep trying, Greg Sergeant. You are my hero. Lindsey Graham Trying His Hardest to Make Me Like Him: I don't know if it'll work, but I do approve of him trying so goshdarn hard. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) gave a harsh assessment of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor Wednesday afternoon, criticizing her ideology, questioning her temperament and saying he had little intention of voting for her. Despite the fact he's a McCainiac maverick douche-sucker, I have to confess I've always kind of liked him. Although he's been angering me since I first met him, as one of the Clinton Impeachment Managers. (He undermined his own case by stating, more emphatically than necessary, that a Senator in good conscience could vote to acquit Clinton.) Maybe it's the Prodigal Son phenomenon, which McCain also benefits from (and Colin Powell used to benefit from): These guys disappoint you so much that when they finally do something in your favor, you become excessively grateful for their ideological homecoming.
