I had to shut down my cspan feed of the Sotomayor hearing. Cornyn is such a jerk

[rurallib]

This collective group claimed they couldn't possibly be ready for Sotomayor in 5 weeks.
Yet, amazingly, they have been able to take their two tiny objectionable pebbles (Ricci and one line in an 18 minute speech) and turn them into giant boulders of obstruction. Way to go Repugs.
Take anything out of context, apply hate, racism, lies and VOILA! a boulder of obstruction.

1. shut it down? please give more info

[rurallib]

2. bad choice of words. I meant on cspan. Will fix

[EFerrari]

3. The way the judge has been treated by these assholes prove her point

and very nicely, that she has more experience with discrimination than the assholes do. The next time anyone puts out that chestnut in her speech, they need to see outtakes from these hearings. :puke:

4. You put up with it this long and THAT made you shut it down?

I only know what I saw on countdown but it seemed like some of the earlier racist crap was worse.

5. I turned off C-Span

It was so distasteful.
