- ‘SONIA SOTOMAYOR IS DUMB’ WATCH: Sen. John Ensign’s turn! “Throughout the confirmation process, I will work with my colleagues and thoroughly review Judge Sotomayor’s record to make sure she has the right intellect and understands the proper role of a judge — to interpret and apply the written law, not to decide cases based on personal feelings, politics or preferences.” [Washington Independent]

“Right intellect” – isn’t that an oxymoron?
Ha ha ha, John McCain is going to judge a woman on her “intellect!” Well, if he interviews her the way he interviewed Sarah Palin, Sotomayor can look forward to maybe two minutes tops where he asks what her name is and how many kids she has, and then says, “OK, honey.”
Look folks, Republicans are right to question the President’s nomination this time. I mean, who nominates a housekeeper to be a Supreme Court justice anyway?
If they had the senate vote today right now, it would not be any different that a vote taken after 14,000 hours of confirmation hearings. Also Ben Nelson will vote “no”.
Making sure she “understands the proper role of a judge — to interpret and apply the written law, not to decide cases based on personal feelings, politics or preferences.” Meaning, she mustn’t decide cases using her spicy Latina Uterus.
SHE DONT BE KNOWING WHAT THE JUDGEING THING IS BECAZE SHE IS NOT A REAL MERICUN AND DERFORE INTELECTULLY NOT SOOPIERIORS
Speaking of intellect and judgment, from Ensign’s Twitter page…
“Just saw the premier of Night at the Museum 2. All the stars were there. It’s better than the first one … very creative, funny lines.”
I’ll be satisfied if she would just anglicize her name. So-to-my-yor. How the fuck am I supposed to even pronounce that shit.
Really? She is astoopid? Not for nothing, but if there is a more obvious reference to the effect of the god-issued hemorraghic fever that takes hold of a passionate latina’s home-growed, ethical brown brains once every mensa, I have yet to see it. O.my.stars.
Dog whistle to the right wing – Latina ladies (Red Sonia) are not as smart as White pretty boys (Johnny Roberts)?
Who will be the first Repubatard to inadvertently ask her if she does laundry? Boner? Cantor? McCain?
I WANTS TO SEE HER CERTIIFICATES OF LIVE BRITH BECAZE PORTO RIKO IS NOT A STATE AND TEREFORE SHE IS UNNATURALLY BORNS
[re=324760]The Lucky Republican[/re]: ummm.. GWB did. Everyone knows that White House Counsel is just a maid with a law degree that cleans up the President’s messes.
[re=324756]Custerwolf[/re]: Totally off topic: thanks for the b-day wishes yesterday. Made my day.
And yes, “right intellect” is an oxymoron. Kinda like “military solution.”
And Ensign’s intellect is right up there with, oh, Dubya and the rest of the LOSERS…
[re=324758]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: You sure you mean John McCain?
Anyway, that’s some wild shit being uttered by Ensign. WILD.
What the fuck is this whole “not smart enough” meme. How the fuck do Republicans know and how are they going to prove that she meets the vigorous intellectual standards of a party that doesn’t believe in Evolution? What are they going to do, ask her to take her LSAT’s again? Put her on “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?” Or will they go all “Slumdog Millionare” with her, ask her a bunch of law questions and if she answers correctly, waterboard her to make sure she’s not cheating?
Ugh, 60 days of the Republicans trying to prove she got her summa cum inside a pinata. Kill me now, please.
[re=324756]Custerwolf[/re]: Too true, too true. I just peed myself a little upon reading that.
[re=324777]proudgrampa[/re]: I hope you had a wonderful day of celebration. Yesterday was also my wonderful siter’s birthday.
Becuz the party of Sarah Palin, Harriet Miers, and John “Debating the war emboldens our enemies” Ensign knows a lot about smartiness. Also.
Stupid? Yeah, probably. I hear that Yale place is a regular diploma mill.
I didn’t think about it, but the confirmation/carnival process may yield some very juicy racist remarks from our wingnut brethren. Pleeze for to have gooood youtube vids and/or audio. Lot’s o’ cowpies for them to step in. If someone haz teh smarts they’d start a site to ring up the sweet-sweet dingers from doz whacky southern white boyz & galz. To wit: Summer blogger heaven.
[re=324777]proudgrampa[/re]: Hey Grampa – how old are you now, 50? 51?
Here Come the Judge:

aww isn’t it sweet to see republicans being so consistent about their professed love for intellectualism?
Presumably, he’ll be quizzing Maria on kittens and whether she knows her limits, not the gold standard.
Harriet. Myers.
“understands the proper role of a judge — to interpret and apply the written law, not to decide cases based on personal feelings, politics or preferences.”
Dear Asshat:
How did that civics class work out for you in high school? Apparently not so well. And that gig in vet school didn’t exactly expose you to careful, uh, jur-es-prood-nce, did it?
Anyway, thanks for your ultimately useless and ill informed opinion. Know that if you uttered this in Poli Sci 101, you’d be laughed out of the room. Also: you’d flunk. Dumbass.
“Dumb Watch.” Excellent. Just excellent.
It’s very important that women judges know their role.
[re=324809]TGY[/re]:
Bwahaha win. I had forgotten about that.
“…to make sure she has the right intellect…” – not unlike the serious intellectual testing that Republicans put Clarence Thomas through.
[re=324768]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: It’s pronounce “Ayres.”
Yes oh yes oh pretty please, for to let the white boys prolong the dumb meme. Also.
And can you imagine what is going on in Scalia’s psyche today? Methinks he is one sour grouchy-puss.
[re=324786]Custerwolf[/re]: Wow – I must have had a mini-stroke. That comment was lamer than Joe Klien. Sorry proudgrampa.
[re=324869]Custerwolf[/re]: And sorry Joe Klein for spelling your name wrong.
IOW we are going to ask condescending slime ball questions peppered with the appelations “honey” and “sweetie” in order to get this fiery Latina to go fucking ballz-out ballistic on national television. DEMOCRACY!
[re=324869]Custerwolf[/re]: You obviously doughnut have the rite intellectaul.
[re=324777]proudgrampa[/re]: Or “sports journalism,” or “Republican integrity,” or “Harry Reid’s courage.”
[re=324797]Bearbloke[/re]: 58. I know, that’s REALLY old!
[re=324869]Custerwolf[/re]: No worries. I was having fun trying to figure out whose b-day you were referring to: your sister’s, your sitter’s, or (I know how much of an animal lover you are), your setter’s. Hmm?
Right, a Vice President can have a degree from six community colleges in Cowtown, USA, but a Supreme with an Ivy summa cum laude needs to impress Republicans with her intellect.
[re=324760]The Lucky Republican[/re]: HA!
[re=324792]edgydrifter[/re]: Did she go to the real Yale, like Coultier went to the real Cornell?
