She will fit right in with Obama and the rest of the members of the Socialist Democratic Party that are running (ruining) our country right now. She will help along the creation of the United Socialist States of America and changing us from a democratic republic to a socialist republic, just like Obama planned. When do we change the stars on our flag to the hammer and sickle? It's really sad. Remember when we were a free country? It's going to get harder and harder to remember those days.

She's made it clear that she is sexist and racist, but as long as you aren't a white male, then that's okay in this country. What a double-standard. I vote a big NO on Sotomayor. (Registered Independent)

Republicans were doing too well with Hispanics and with women under Bush. They decided to correct that. LOL.

the american hunters and shooters is a front organization to ban gun ownership in the u.s. sotomayor has deemed herself unfit for the supream court by her own words and actions. there is no room on the sumream court for her female/latina b.s. the obligation of the court is to uphold the constitution without personal perference, something that has been lost on the court for sometime now.

Sotomayor is the least ideological, most moderate justices presented for appointment in many years, rated "Well qualified" compared to Clarence Thomas, who barely made it to "qualified." Only idiots think she is anything other than a solid moderate Judge.

This M-----N A-S H--E ugly B---H should not be near the Justice Bldg, much less on the bench. The park bench is the only bench she should be on.

Left wing screwballs aim to rerearange traditional America. Thier socialist agenda is not in the mainstream of real Americans. They claim to be the elite, yet they are lazy and misinformed. Dummies.

Another liberal moron that thinks it's her job to "interpret" the U.S. Constitution. Her job is to enforce it. Especially the Bill of Rights. If she feels so strongly that America is racist, then how has she been nominated to be a Supreme Court Justice? Couldn't be for politically "correct" reasons could it? Of course not, it's just that she's smarter than everybody else...........Please.
