Judge Sotomayor Approved 68-31

The Democrats have flexed their muscle in the Senate and approved what is arguably the most liberal judge that has been nominated for the Supreme Court in decades. The vote yesterday was mostly along party lines. Much is being made about the fact that she is a woman and of Hispanic descent. I think that these two are really non-issues and should not count for or against her.

It always strikes me as ironic how the Democrats try to take credit for being progressive when it comes to women and minorities. The first woman appointed to the court was Sandra Day O’Connor and she was appointed by Republican President Ronald Reagan. The first African-American Secretary of State; Colin Powell and the first black female Secretary of State; Condoleezza Rice were appointed by Republican President George W. Bush. President Bush also appointed Carlos Gutierrez—a Cuban-American as the first Secretary of Commerce.

But I digress, it is Judge Sotomayor’s activist record that is of grave concern to me and many other conservatives. The following clip shows that she believes in judicial activism and that she also realizes that it is not smart to admit it while cameras are rolling. She is also cocky enough to admit this fact and speak freely anyway.

I think we should all remember who voted for her during the next election and vote the scoundrels out. Senator John McCain—the man who should be President, voted against her nomination. I applaud him.

Here are a few more Republican firsts: The first Hispanic Surgeon General was Antonia Coello Novello who was appointed by President George H. W. Bush and served from 1990 to 1993. The first Hispanic Representative was Romualdo Pacheco, a Republican representative from California who served in the late 1800s. The fist Hispanic Senator was Octaviano Larrazolo a Republican from New Mexico who served in 1928. So much for progressive Democrats…
