Someday the Republican Party will get a backbone…probably not while I’m not alive. Judge Sonia Sotomayor was confirmed to be the next Supreme Court Justice. We knew it would happen….it was a done deal…..the Democrats did not need any Republican votes. Guess what…8 Republicans voted for her. Why? For what reason? Sotomayor ranks right up there with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who by the way was confirmed 96 -3 in the Senate. At that time the Republicans did not think it was right to block a President's (Clinton)nominee. It was the President's right to nominate whom ever he wanted. Ginsburg is without a doubt the most liberal justice on the court. She is pretty much against anything that the Republicans stand for. So again, why would any Republican vote for Sotosmayor? Because they do not want to be seen as opposing Democrat nominees. Of course the Democrats never opposed Republican nominees…other than Bork, Thomas, Alito, Roberts (for which few if any Democrats voted for) The Democratic leadership would not even let some of Presidents Bush's District Judge nomonees even come up for a debate and vote....remember?? Oh that’s right, those nominees weren’t qualified to be on the Supreme Court so they had to oppose them. Sotomayor is extremely qualified, except for her writings, court decisions, and statements.... but hey, nobody is perfect.
It is about time that potential Republican candidates take a litmus test. They will follow Republican Party line and vote, anytime the Democrats lie, mislead, ignore American values, morals and principals or do anything that will weaken the United States of America. If they do not want to agree to that then they can run as an Independent not as a Republican. YOU CANNOT APPEASE DEMOCRATS!!!! They will eventually just stab you in the back ….ask President George W. Bush…he tried and got steamrollered.
I would not be surprised to see the rise of a strong new American Party!!
