To those who think is doesn't matter who's the President.... |
|
... or think that Obama is not different than Bush.
... pay very close attention to the responses given by Sonia Sotomayor in hearings this week.
... and compare to responses given by Justice Roberts and Justice Alito during their nomination hearings.
Then.... remember that Sotomayor is only 54 years old and will likely be sitting on the court for up to 30 years.
Then.... remember what kind of judge John McCain would have nominated instead. (Hint: He said he would nominate judges like Alito and Roberts during the campaign).
Long after the Obama presidency is in the history books, Sonia Sotomayor will still be shaping case law in this country.
Remember that the next time you think it doesn't matter which side wins the White House.

2. The biggest reason to elect a Dem for prez was the SCJs. |
|
Lots of other thought went into that, of course, but you betcha! This is huge, and I hope it goes smoothly. I think Judge Sotomayor will do just fine. She'd better for all of our sakes.

3. I'm so tired of this line. Of course it makes a difference.. |
|
but that doesn't mean anyone should back down from participating in democracy. For too long, too many haven't.
