She was born in the Bronx.

A woman of the people....someone who understands the REAL people!!!!
Who could argue with such a choice!!!

Why?

Please read above. You will understand.

Ild rather a nominee who believes in and understands the Constitution. That is after all what the Supreme Court is all about, not understanding people, real or otherwise.
ETA: Ild even accept for a liberal Constitutional scholar over someone who understands REAL people.

She clearly has a magnificent story. One that she should be proud of.
But she is NOT color blind. Lady Justice is supposed to be. Just look at her ruling in the Ricci vs. DeStefano case. Its all you need to know about her.
When she rules based on her "empathy", she will set back the civil rights movement by DECADES.

Wow, is right.It was a masterful stroke politically. The fact that
she is more than qualified, is the icing on the cake.

Masterful indeed on every level!Wow, is right.
she is more than qualified, is the icing on the cake.
I look forward to her confirmation hearings. It will be fun to watch the flailing and wailing as the RR try and find SOMETHING to whine and bash her about.
I have read some of her more important decisions and while I do not agee with everything I respect her reasoning.
These are surely exciting times!

There is plenty to "bash" her about. Plenty. But I reckon it all depends on hopw much you really know and care about the Constitution. And Liberty. REAL Liberty.
Granted, given the current climate, she will be confirmed with no major problems... And the civil rights movement will suffer a major setback.
Oh how I would love to have a real, face to face debate with you on the Constitution ES. You can even pick the moderator.
Rah, Rah...Sish boom bah!

Maybe you can explain why its a masterful stroke, since ES wont?Wow, is right.

Well, she has received appointments from both Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush.
Obama is a liberal constitutional scholar but I understand that he already has a job.

the GOP is grasping any straw they can find to stay relevant in the
current political world.

Does she actualy have a stand on Roe v. Wade? She seems untested in this area, even the hardcore lefties are calling a flag down on this.
Her stand on the Second Amendment is a red flag for me.
2 cases she dissented on are heading for the SC, is she going to recuse herself from the deliberations if she is confirmed?
Her story is great, but her judicial career doesnt seem that remarkable.
ETA: To echo my first question in this thread, why is she better, and better then who?
Registered User
If she is such a constitutionalist.. tell me where in the constitution it says that the Justices of the Supreme Court 'make policy'? She also thinks an Hispanic woman would make much better decisions than a white man. Oh, I know, she said that awhile back and now she said she just made the wrong choice of words. I doubt it. She is a member of La Raza... and I know, they are just an advocacy group for poor latinos. Another liberal justice on the bench is NOT what this country needs right now. Red 46
