From Breitbart.com

Franken told Sotomayor that she was "the most experienced Supreme Court nominee in 100 years." He said her story is inspirational and one in which "all Americans should take great pride in."

The stupidity of such a statement is beyond the bounds of rational thought.  Granted she has a very inspirational story but last time I checked that wasn’t a qualification for Supreme Court Justice or course neither is race or gender and both of those seem to be qualifications in the Obama administration.  As for qualifications for the actual job, no.  She isn’t even as qualified as the last 10 nominees to have the nomination pulled or rejected.  Given the way the current court smacked down her latest decision one could make the case that she isn’t qualified for the job she has now.

Unfortunately she will probably be confirmed and that is a shame.  It is clear from her record that she allows race to enter into her decision making.  It’s clear that she allows her liberal ideology to enter the decision making more than she does the law, more than she does the constitution.

Reading some of the media’s reaction though you would think she was a great jurist rather than someone who has been on the wrong side of constitution most of her career.  I love the headline by the Wall Street Journal “Record Shows Rulings Within Liberal Mainstream” excuse me?  Liberal and Mainstream are two words that very rarely should be used in the same story let alone in the same sentence.  Liberalism by it’s defined ideals is outside the mainstream.  The media is running around stating that she has had a pro business ruling, one, big deal.  If you dig deep into Ruth Bader Ginsberg’s record you can probably find one instance when she made a ruling that was pro business.  Doesn’t make her mainstream.

Republicans predictably don’t know what to do yet other than say that they will be fair but are going to ask tough questions.  Yeah right, forgive me if I am not a believer, Senate Republican’s likely do what they do best, roll over and play dead.  It will be up to the grass roots to get this nomination killed and it won’t be done with republicans only because let’s be real.  In the end we know that Obama can depend on McCain, Lindsay Graham, Susan Collins, etc to give in.  No if America has any hope of killing this it will be Democrats in largely conservative states that have a reelection coming in 2010.  Harry Reid being at the top of the list.
