Can you say hypocrits. They first complain about the so-called rush to comfirm in 48 days and now they come up w/ &amp;quot;apparent omissions&amp;quot; considering they blasted Democrats when they complained about Alito/Roberts. I guess it now comes down to politicians acting less mature then kids in a playground. It's what this country's elective representatives have resorted to which is so sad and we the people keep electing them. I guess we love this masochism whereby we derive pleasure from being dominated or mistreated. Lets throw all these self rightous bumbs out of office. </description></item><item><title>Sotomayor: Questionnaire questions</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/06/11/1960929.aspx#1961048</link><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:53:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1961048</guid><dc:creator>Dennis, Columbus, Ohio</dc:creator><description>The double standard is getting old. &amp;nbsp;If Obama can vote no on judicial confirmations for strictly political reasons, than the Republicans in the Senate should do the same. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Mike in Woodridge, IL (Sent Thursday, June 11, 2009 9:42 AM)&lt;br&gt;/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\&lt;br&gt;This is exactly we never do the right thing for The People because we are always trying to get back at the other party (he started it).
