Judge Sotomayor is Dangerously Unqualified
When you look at the qualifications necessary to be a successful Supreme Court Justice, it is clear that Judge Sonia Sotomayor has none of these traits. Her appointment is yet another disastrous move by President Obama when our country can least afford it. Let’s take a look at her legal career so far:
1. Judicial Temperament: No less an authority than Karl Rove called Sotomayor “a bully” and “domineering” today on Fox News. As a diabetic she may be prone to bouts of drowsiness or hyperactivity. Worst of all is her IQ. Rush Limbaugh pointed out that unlike himself, she’s no intellectual heavyweight.
2. Radical Activism: Recently Yakin v. Tyler Hill Corporation, Inc. was heard by the 2nd Circuit Court of appeals where Sotomayor is a judge. In their ruling they said, “To the extent that a forum selection clause binds diverse parties by its express terms to a specific jurisdiction that is not federal, it waives a statutory right to remove…However, where, as here, the clause merely contains obligatory venue language, it conveys nothing about the parties’ intent as to jurisdiction.”
Is this the kind of sloppy work we can expect from her on the Supreme Court? Forum selection clauses are a keystone of contract law in this country. While they affirmed the lower courts decision, they did so without any attention paid to the reasoning behind the ruling. I hope conservative groups nail her on this one.
3. Conflict of Interest: She may have to hear cases on immigration law. As a Hispanic, she has a definite conflict of interest.
4. Other more deserving candidates: Like Judge Sotomayor, Judge Greg Mathis also brought himself up from poverty. He was the youngest Judge in the State of Michigan. They even wrote a musical about his life called “Inner City Miracle.” He is a no nonsense Judge who can solve several difficult cases in a half hour. Frankly, the court can use his speed.
We need to make sure that Judge Sotomayor is not placed on the Supreme Court by Obama and the liberals in congress. Let your congress people know that Judge Mathis is your choice.
Nate, Can I borrow $10,000 for a mortgage? I want to move the family to Texas. I am ready to secede from a union where a white man can’t catch a break.

I want to add that this is nothing like when Bush tried to appoint Harriet Miers as a supreme court justice. God told George directly that she was a sure winner. This illegal…what’s her name? Sodomeiser?…she doesn’t come with God’s approval.
