From MSNBC's Norah O'Donnell and Adam Verdugo
Republicans requested and were granted a third round of questioning of Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

Each Senator gets 10 minutes. Most of the questions will likely be from Republicans.

Questioning Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the second time, Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-S.C.), told the Supreme Court nominee that, in the past, she has "said some things that just bug the hell out of me."

Hmmm… let’s see would this be the same weasel that’s McAlzheimer’s BFF?  If this isn’t PRICELESS… it’s not like Lindsey hasn’t said things that just bug the hell out of a lot of people!

And then the GEENOPEE has the audacity to scratch their brain dead heads & wonder why their in a death spiral??

More double standards brought to you by the party of stale male & pale!

One thing I will say… given their actions and treatment of Justice Sotomayer during these hearings one thing’s for sure… it’s not going to WIN them any additional latino or woman voters!

So I guess it’s a GOOD thing
Is a Latina wiser than a WASP?

You Betcha'!  Wink, Wink!


Confirm Sotomayor NOW!
Apparently she is speaking monosyllabicly enough for them to process.  I listened to the joker today ask her a question and then, displeased with how she was answering he dismissed her and said he only had 10 more minutes.  These fools are only there to hear themselves puff and bloviate.  It is all posturing and absolutely NO info seeking.  Republican Senators are the joke.  
Here's a question. How come following the law is what the conservative SC justices do, and making the law is what the liberal justices do?
Maybe someone should ask Sotomayer when the aliens took over her body, because she is completely different in front of the committee then she was when she was making her little speeches about 'Wise Latina' women talk and 'Making Policy from the bench'.
It would be nice to learn something about her judicial philosphy, instead of hiding behind "precedent". She keeps saying, "The court has said ...". Yet, Saul Alinsky wtote to "hide you true intentions". So she is taking a page straight from the Alinsky play-book.

A judges job is to interpret the law. We need to understand her interpretation of the constitutional text

They need to ask here about her ACLU speech in April where she said that we can take lessons from foreign and international law.
The dumb get's a chance to make asses out of themselves again before the "world". They are an embrassment to this Nation. Soem of the questions thaey are asking her are stupid and have nothing to do with her appointment.
Is this where we get to the part about whether she has any cooking or cleaning experience?  That's generally what republicans would want to know from a Latina, isn't it?  
Gee I hope they all ask her about that 'wise Latina woman' comment she made 7 years ago.  And whether she is a racist.  And why she doesnt always vote the way other Latina's vote.  What a pure waste of time.  Dont they realize how dumb and shallow they look to America - or maybe their constituents dont watch TV in the daytime, they are all tuned to the radio to hear the leader of the party (Rush) tell them what the Democrats are doing wrong and how we are ruining the country.
You don't say, No I wouldn't beleive it. The G-NO-Pee
