Sessions: Sonia Sotomayor 'out of mainstream'
WASHINGTON, 07.13.2009
By MARK SHERMAN , Associated Press Writer

The leading Judiciary Committee Republican is charging that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is "out of the mainstream" of legal thinking and has a very activist judicial profile.

Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama made the assertion just hours before Sotomayor, who would be the third woman to join the court, was to face her initial confirmation hearing.

Sessions also said on CBS's "The Early Show" that he thought the native New York appeals court judge deserves a fair hearing. He quickly added that Republicans on the Judiciary panel won't hesitate to question her closely on her judicial philosophy.

1. He's on Morning Joe right now.

2. Sessions is an idiot...

why didn't the Senate look "closely" at the the R nominated justices?

Talk about an "activist" court...they are little more than corporate shills and people that have a view that the even the BoR's should not be iun The Constitution, (except for the 2nd Amendment).

3. Sessions is out of the mainstream - what a throwback! nt

[Jennicut]

4. Exactly, he is a right wing nut and they are FAR out of the mainstream

[Kingofalldems]

5. Mainstream meaning someone still fighting the Civil War

[davidpdx]

6. I have a feeling the Republicans are going to try to go for the juglar

with Sotomayor.

[VWolf]

7. I say go for it

Guaranteed result: FAIL

[bigwillq]

8. Let them.

They will look worse than they already do right now. She will be confirmed. This is not a fight worth fighting.

9. the only good judges are the right leaning ones according to Sessions

Alito, Roberts, and Scalia were all confirmed easily and everyone knew how far to the right they were. It's only a perceived belief that someone may lean left that gets discussed in right and left terms. The Dems should be right out there saying how easy the confirmation of Alito and Roberts were even though we all knew they were rightists.

10. Last ride of the Night Riders.

[Thrill]

11. Democrats have let them win the debate on Sotomayor

Poisoned public opinion. Only 47% support her nomination. wow just wow

[AspenRose]

12. I don't know who I dislike more

Sessions, Cornyn or Chambliss

[Orsino]

13. Every Democratic nominee is "out of the mainstream."

That's Talking Point #1, every time. :eyes:

[Fire1]

14. HA! I've gotta use that! (Racist-state name)!! n/t

[mitchum]

15. Well, you are getting ready to lose... AGAIN, Jeffy Reb

[Cha]

16. If the "mainstream" is sessions' cesspool then

yeah, Sonia Sotomayor swims with the dolphins!

[BlooInBloo]

17. Maybe he meant "out of mainstream white Alabama"?

[Vektor]

18. Their stupid, repetitive, canned "buzz words" are so predictable. And unoriginal.

Disingenuous "scary" words that get the flat-earth crowd all fired up. Without fail. Decade after decade. No matter how many times they are regurgitated and misused:

"Activist"
"Abortion on Demand" - (Kind of like movies on demand.)
"Homosexual Agenda"
"Partial Birth Abortion"
"Socialist"
"Communist"
"Pro-abortion"
"Radical Left"

(Just a small sampling.)


Those poor little pea-brained conservatives. So darn predictable. Sure to start the knee-jerk, Pavlovian mouth foaming the second someone uses a "trigger" word.

[madamesilverspurs]

19. Sessions does NOT have racist tendencies.

He IS a racist, plain and simple. And obvious.

[burning rain]

20. Assuming the mainstream he means is of Alabama whites, he's doubtlessly right.
