It seems the only reliable thing in America right now is the pathetic Republicans in the US Senate. Yes, only the Senate Republicans are stuck on stupid and cannot muster the courage to stand for their principles nor fulfill their role of the COnstitution. It is almost as if Obama has hired another Czar who was tasked with killing the doctor who was trying to transplant a spine into the NRSC’s frail body. I mean this right here is political suicide from my point of view in the conservative base. 

WASHINGTON — Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor won virtual assurance of rapid confirmation Thursday when Senate Republicans announced they do not intend to block a vote that would make her the first Hispanic on the nation’s highest court.

Sotomayor’s path to becoming President Barack Obama’s first Supreme Court appointment was enhanced by a two-pronged strategy:

 

 During more than 15 hours of questions over three days from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, she revealed little about the type of justice she would be, declining to disclose her views on the most significant and polarizing legal matters working their way through the courts.

 

 She deflected critics’ allegations that her public speeches showed a bias based on her sex and ethnicity, assuring the committee she is a moderate jurist and not a liberal judicial activist.

By the time she stepped out of the witness chair, Sotomayor had earned the grudging respect of even conservatives on the committee who are not likely to support her.

I’m willing to say what the pansy asses little girly men in the Senate won’t, she lied. She pretended to be a conservative this week. She put on the mask of Roberts, Alito, and the conservative Republican mold in order to be palpable enough to be confirmed. 

And that’s the whole point here. A radical liberal Democrat judicial appointment had to fool the nation into believing that she was a strict constructionist conservative even though her rhetoric completely refutes that…..

And the Senate Republicans cave…..

It is a darn good thing that there isn’t a US Senate race in Minnesota this cycle, because I would likely work against the Republican just for spite because his or her buddies in DC are so dang incompetent it is amazing they manage to brush their teeth with out ending up in traction.
