They talk to her like shes the cleaning lady asking for a raise.

[undeterred]

Republican senators talking to Sotomayor.

[PretzelWarrior]

1. they are hateful people.

[Xipe Totec]

2. She will clean their clocks some day n/t

[FrenchieCat]

3. They will be understanding soon that instead of looking superior

they will end up looking like they were committing mass suicide.

[flpoljunkie]

4. It will come back to bite them in the ass.

[lunatica]

5. They'll live to regret it as it'll be like a brand on their foreheads from now on

I'm certainly not forgetting these ass holes and how fucking low they've brought the American discourse down into the gutter. They think it's OK to bring their bigotry out into the open because their leader Rush Limbaugh sang the Magic Negro song. Time will teach them but by then it'll be too late to take the crap back.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

6. Welcome to the world of a Latino living in the USA.

[Butch350]

27. I'm a black man - been there done that - still am.

[Avalux]

7. Don't think for a minute she didn't feel their condescension.

She did and she handled it amazingly. I really like her and it was great to watch her verbally shut down the losers.

[Hepburn]

8. The disrespect in that hearing room from the RW male Repuke Sens...

...one could cut it with a knife.

They come across as totally offended that a Latina could even be nominated to be on the SCOTUS.

Fuck them.

[JayMusgrove]

16. She should be making their hotel beds... I think, according to Sessions

He's about the most abhorrent racist in the US Senate, in my opinion.

I hope we have an interview with him after she's appointed.

Just think, when Sessions grew up, there was never a woman on the SCOTUS.

Now, he is supposed to accept an Hispanic woman as equal to his white male-ness.

I wonder if Jeff Sessions is a member of the C-Street "family"

[Hepburn]

21. I hear ya....

....Sessions acted like she was dirt under his feet. Thoroughly disgusting display of condescending bigotry on every level I can think of.

[EffieBlack]

9. Even worse - they treated her like the cleaning lady suspected of stealing some silverware . . .nt

[undeterred]

13. She's stealing a white male's job.

They really hate racial equality.

[northernlights]

10. in their peabrains, she is

and they and the rest of the rethugs will pay for their vile behavior, come '10 and '12. :evilgrin:

[Arugula Latte]

11. OMG ... She's going to oppress the downtrodden White Male minority!

She'll grind those poor, voiceless people under her bootheel! :o

[JayMusgrove]

12. Those white men are very sick people..... they should be proud of her

as we can all be proud of her.

Where, but in America could this woman have risen from such poor circumstances ALL ON HER OWN ABILITIES......to this place.

[unblock]

14. they are so pissed they lack the power to stop a (possibly) liberal judge from becoming a justice

and they are very sore losers.

[rasputin1952]

15. It has always seemed to me that the level of ignorance is

commensurate with the level of arrogance. Considering how arrogant the R's on the committee are, I can see the level of ignorance is incredible.

I wonder if any of them read?

[JayMusgrove]

17. They haven't read a book or a newspaper for a quarter century..

all they read are the talking points their staffers write for them, and what they see on Fox News, which is, obviously just a cheerleader squad for their out-of-date, ignorant illiterate views.

[Cha]

18. Can you imagine

the conversations Sonia is having with her friends and colleagues after the hearings are over for the day?

[BlancheSplanchnik]

19. oh thanks!

a MUCH better idea to ponder than the asswipes who think women are for cleanin, cookin or fuckin

Baaahaaa, I sure DO wish I could hear what she and her friends have to say about the dickbrains! :7

[Cha]

20. To be a

spidey on the wall:fistbump: Not a fly.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

24. eeek!

NOOooooo!!!!!!!!

Not an S... P.... I......

Aiiiiii---yEEEEEEE!










can we go with a treefrog instead?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

22. However she make them look rather lame

[Brigid]

23. The Hispanic chick Lady . . .

Is outclassing all of them put together. :)

[BlueMTexpat]

25. None of them are fit to lick her boots and she is more intelligent

than all of them put together. I include Linda Chavez in with the clueless Repub Senators for that calculation, even though Chavez is marginally more intelligent than the Senators are. Shame on her!

Sotomayor is a wise Latina woman indeed! And a very patient one. We need more like her on the USSC.

[fortyfeetunder]

26. They will live to regret these words

Maybe in their inner circle they appear to be forthright and doing due diligence, but history will expose them to be anything but. They will be described being condescending, racist and sexist. Shame on them.

[leftofthedial]

28. That's their only experience with Latinas.

Well, that and those weekends in Juarez back in the days of good Mexicans...

[eppur_se_muova]

29. I'm sure they were equally unsparing with Roberts and Scalito.

:sarcasm: (As another DUer remarked -- if you really need this, I can feel for you but I can't help you.)

[undeterred]

30. Ah yes, I remember those men being warned not to have a "meltdown"

as they are prone to doing.

[Sheltiemama]

31. You summed it up well.

I was mad for her. And how dare they do that in front of her mother?

[old mark]

32. I used to think we had some good people as our elected officials.

The more I see of them recently, the less respect I have for them. They have shown themselves to be nothing but stupid, grasping egocentric people whose arrogance is actually disgusting.

I am just as angry at the Democrats - they have endorsed the system and lived within it and are little better than their GOP colleagues.
Sotomayor is clearly a far better person than any of the senators on either side who harrassed her.
