You have got to be kidding. Thats what a wise person would do?

 

Jun 30, 2009

As happy as the decsion makes me; as pointedly humorous as this revealing satire is, I still feel dread because four justices could not see the truth. Are white people inevitably going to be pusished for being white? Are hard workers going to be denied so their efforts are either fruitless or "redistributed" to the shiftless, lazy and ignorant? I don't think we will see outrage until a few thousand white people at the major MSM institutions begin losing lawsuits (and their jobs) to the stupidity of Sotomayor's way of thinking.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Soto's comments are racist. How can we allow this kind of person on the supreme court?

 

Jun 30, 2009

That's great!! A Supreme Court justice who thinks of the Constitution as a "questionsble document!!!"

 

Jun 30, 2009

Soto's application of 'Deeper Knowing' is clearly on display--which is racist code for 'I don't reach my thoughts through rational discussion and the application of logic but through emotions and the racial rubric of perceived inequality of outcome.' A Republican would not have survived this far into the process. A clear political barometer of the state of the nation. A storm is coming.

How hard can that test be? Maybe she has something against fire-fighters or people that are not Latinos...ipso facto..

 

Jun 30, 2009

This woman is a racial bigot and has no respect for justice and truth and law. Her biased worldview is there for anyone to see. It shows how much of a leftist Marxist she is, who will go to any length to overthrow our republic and constitution.

Today minority people can live where they choose, have jobs in all levels of the gov. Discrimination is really a a two way street and its is time to put it behind us not use discrimination as a weapon for gaining an position that is not earned. In the USA now, no one race owes another positions that are now righfully earned.

 

Jun 30, 2009

she admits to doing exactly what judges are NOT supposed to do-let emotional bias influence their decisions! so frustrating.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Wow. Now I've seen the far left on full display. What a disgrace to America. What we need to do now is remove the blindfold from Lady Justice so she can see those white males before she declares them guilty. We will no longer be a nation of laws if she gets her way!

 

Jun 30, 2009

When is "affirmative action" going to finally be a historical issue. I was one of a handful of conservative Federal employees at a northeast regional office. It had gotten to the point that promotion announcements had to include two positions. One was for the most qualified and then one other. The other was solely for the Director of the office to stave off another OEO complaint.

 

Jun 30, 2009

I didn't want to believe it, but now I have no choice. Sotomayor is racist and has a chip on her shoulder that can't be ignored. Just because I'm a feminist doesn't mean a man can't be more qualified than I am. Just because some whites studied hard DOESN'T mean that it's a biased test. Maybe it was a biased test, but the racial makeup of those who MERIT promotions isn't part of it. What happened to post-racial-ness?

 

Jun 30, 2009

The only thing funnier than this article is the dweebs in the Comments that seem to have actually taken it seriously.

 

Jun 30, 2009

The bigotry of the politically correct is becoming ever so clear. In Sonia Sotomayor's mind the Constitution is an inconvenient truth, as are our immigration laws.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Thank you GregMan, this article is SATIRE...all the quotes are fake and obviously she is not going to sue the Supreme Court. jeeeeezzzzzzz

 

Jun 30, 2009

Can we start calling her "Soto-peor"? It would give her name increased meaning in spanish.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Maybe it is my background as an engineer but I have never heard of, nor have I ever thought of rationality, cold or otherwise, as something to be scorned; but for the Senate to approve her now would be doing exactly that.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Judge Sotomayor's statements lashing out at the Supreme Court should be cause for grave concern about her judicial approach to interpreting the Law, and also sheds a bright light into what her demeanor vis a vis her colleagues on the bench will be should she be confirmed. Is this the kind of tantrum we can expect of Justice Sotomayor every time she finds herself in the minority? Is this the kind of Justice we want on the Supreme Court with a lifelong tenure? Someone prone to make emotional decisions and who considers the Constitution "a document of questionable practical value?" Do the American people want a Justice that would "set aside(cold) rationality of the Constitution for the good of the people," as defined, of course, by herself?

 

Jun 30, 2009

It is truly amazing that a Supreme Court nominee would make such ludicrous statements. She is clearly unqualified to interpret the Constitution (which she claims is of questionable practical value), unless of course, "interpret" means "ignore".

 

Jun 30, 2009

sotamayer needs to come down from her pedestal tothe level of the true americans as myself.if she was born here she is not latino but an american.

 

Jun 30, 2009

The Supreme Court's shocking display of apathy toward the life-experience of an underprivileged Latina Judge makes it clear President Obama ought to withdraw the Sotomayor nomination and instead appoint her as Judicial Czarina with authority over the out-of-control third branch of government.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Why is this article not clearly marked as satire? Wtf?

 

Jun 30, 2009

WOW! Could this "Latina" be more prejudiced or racist against our Constitution, Anglo-Saxons or males? And since when do we want emotions or sympathy to weigh in on the law? COLD RATIONALITY IS WHAT IS NEEDED IN 95% of court rulings!

 

Jun 30, 2009

At the beginning: "News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher." At the end: "Examiner Columnist Scott Ott is editor in chief of ScrappleFace.com, the family-friendly news satire site, and anchor of ScrappleFace Network News, seen on YouTube." A quick search of "scrappleface.com" reveals it to be "The daily conservative news satire site..." How idiotic do you have to be to miss this? Where is your personal responsibility now?

 

Jun 30, 2009

and she does not think she has been and continues to be racist? I do not care what race or sex a justice is, I want them to protect all of our rights equally. Justice is to be blind, remember the blindfold? She has obviously given up the blindfold to don a miners light to focus directly on a specific group of people.. very sad, another bad day for the United States. Wonder if she wants to be one the Supreme Court to trade favors as our congress does to get special rulings?

 

Jun 30, 2009

Have I stumbled on "The Onion" website?

 

Jun 30, 2009

"...the Constitution -- a document of questionable practical value due to the Anglo-Saxon cultural bias of its authors." This statement alone should disqualify her from the USSC.

 

Jun 30, 2009

Okay, come clean ... THIS IS A SPOOF, right? This is either a joke, or the greatest example of chutzpah EVER. Come on, folks - I'm new here - this IS a joke, right?

 

Jun 30, 2009

It's about time!! This isn't the first time this has happened. Finally! Someone stood up and cried "foul"! AND, our court justices agreed. Unfortunately, for the Am. people, this is the type of person "Mr" Obama wants on HIS team.

mfinsc: 'One was for the most qualified and then one other. The other was solely for the Director of the office to stave off another OEO complaint.' I once was put up for a merit-based promotion. Because thre was one other worker who had been with the company longer, the union required that he be promoted along with me. I might add that the person could never have qualified for a merit promotion otherwise.

Great post. The fact that some apparently cannot see the parody proves just how close we've come to lunacy with Obama. The most absurd, ridiculous events are not beyond possibility. The Obots parody themselves but it's stopped being funny except in a black comedy sort of way (the ignorant will think I just made a racist comment, heh).

 

Jul 1, 2009

Sotomayor's threat of suing the Supreme Court justices is laughable. Sotomayor should definitely not be on the Supreme Court for this act alone.

 

Jul 1, 2009

I am amazed some of the 'comments' do not know about Scott Ott and question if this is satire. Of course it's SATIRE and nothing works better than satire to expose hyprocrisy, etc in politicians. And yes, Mr Obama has nominated an admitted RACIST (Sonia Sotomayor) to the Supreme Court.

 

Jul 1, 2009

Remember, this is SATIRE! Some of the comments below seem to think this is real and she actually said this stuff.

The more Sotomayor speaks, the more foot she places in her ample mouth. That this blunt-edged racist actually made it this far is enough of a case to scrap affirmative action for good and right now. Fling Sotomayor as far away from our courts as possible and spare America the scourge of this pitiful, misguided Neanderthal in black robes.

she is as dangerous as Obama... she should not be a judge because she is a racist///

 

Jul 1, 2009

Sotomayor's observation that the court acted with"cold rationality" is exactly what the court is supposed to do. Rewriting the Constitution in deference to the majority is nonsense. This woman needs to be summarily dismissed and sent back to school. Love Chris

 

Jul 1, 2009

Cold rationality, for the greater good, is the saving grace of our Constitution, our Declaration of Independence, and our conservative values. This woman should be barred from ever being a judge, as a result of her demonstrated lack of awareness and understanding of the principles upon which this country was founded and excelled.

 

Jul 1, 2009

Are you kidding me? Who does she think she is? Sounds like she could use some "cold rationality"

 

Jul 1, 2009

This is a joke, right? Can you sue the Supreme Court, they are called the court of last resort for a reason.....

 

Jul 1, 2009

Prima facie and ipso facto ludicrous. I hope this will be the rope with which she finally hangs herself. Back in my highschool days our Latin teacher had a very simple rule regarding the frequently attempted "corner-cutting" on homework translations of such ancient authors as Caesar, Cicero, Virgil, Lucrete, etc.: As literal as possible (to preserve precise meaning), and as free as needed (to translate subtleties of tone and voice). Our two hundred and twenty year old Constitution is of exactly this nature. The SC majority are "literalists"? Well, yes, of course. That's their primary duty. A Constitution so malleable as to bend to the "cultural forces exerted on a Latina [lower court] judge" would not be worth the paper and ink to print it. This "wise and sensitive Latina", in my view, has no business sitting on any bench higher than small-claims court! She should be demoted, forthwith !

 

Jul 1, 2009

The racial bias and arrogance of this woman is nauseating, which makes her the perfect candidate for the elite liberal minority now in control of our country.

 

Jul 1, 2009

If this moron gets confirmed to sit in the high court, this country is doomed. Just who would adjudicate such an lawsuit?

 

Jul 1, 2009

Hey...Let's just lock up all the white people. You know it's a crime being born white in America. I pray this woman never makes it to the Supreme Court.

 

Jul 2, 2009

Does Soto want some Cheese with her Whine? How disgraceful is it that a justice of a state Supreme Court can not see the wisdom of the US Supreme Court and their interpretation of the Constitution. Her wanting to sue the Supremes is proof that she is truly a leftist and that she the BIG "O" share a desire to let the courts make policy and just not ensure that the law is good for all...not just those that are considered minorities. She represents all the things that we joke about in lawyer jokes. Any member of the two Houses that votes to confirm her needs to have a drug test as their judgement is definately impared.

 

Jul 2, 2009

Ms. Sotomayor in her recent comments about the Supreme Court ruling is evidence enough not to confirm her. Why is it OK for her to make racist remarks. Again, the Dems are dismissive of their own intolerable remarks, but intolerant of others.

 

Jul 2, 2009

Scott, You might want to post a bit more prominently that this is satirical. Unfortunately, it seems that about 90% of the people who've commented have been unable to grasp this fact. That, or y'know, continue intentionally feeding misinformation that will spin into a WHARRGARRBL-ish tornado of idiocy in furtherance of your political slant. Whatever floats your boat.

 

Jul 3, 2009

It's real simple ... Obama hand picked her, and this is just more of his agenda. Yeah, after all these years ... suddenly the liberals are trying to dismatle the Constitution. Sotomayor is just another arm of Obama's quest to turn the USA inside out. Think of this as a chess match, and watch what else happens in the next 6 months. No conspiracy theory here ... just open your eyes and watch his next move. Thanks for electing this guy, America!

She should be tried for treason for not upholding the constitution of the United States which she has sworn to uphold.

Read the small print under the title. It's satire, folks! As stated earlier, none of the quotes are real!

 

Jul 4, 2009

Now Sotomayor has the audacity to knock our beloved Constitution!!! I sure am tired of her "hispantics."

 

Jul 4, 2009

Me thinks this country of ours is being run by a bunch of fools. And what can you and I, the average citizen, do about it? Absolutely nothing.

 

Jul 6, 2009

It is apparent that Sotomayer wants to trample down the Constitution for her own selfish desires, while completely ignoring the fact that we have lived by this document for over 200 years.

 

Jul 6, 2009

What more needs be said about Sonia Sotomayor's lack of qualifications to be a judge ON ANY LEVEL? She is clearly disqualified to be a Supreme Court Justice.

 

Jul 7, 2009

By all means, promote a judge to the supreme court who doesn't believe in our constitution! Questionable practical value??!! She does not belong on our supreme court -- deport her to some Marxist country!

 

Jul 10, 2009

This only proves she is unfit to serve on the court. her statement is unconstitutional the only body that can't be sued is the US Supreme Court
