Huckabee: " The appointment of MARIA Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication..."
Huck comes out firing — at 'Maria' Sotomayor

Mike Huckabee comes out hard against the Sonia Sotomayor appointment, with a bit of a misfire as concerns her name:

+++The appointment of Maria Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is the clearest indication yet that President Obama's campaign promises to be a centrist and think in a bipartisan way were mere rhetoric. Sotomayor comes from the far left and will likely leave us with something akin to the "Extreme Court" that could mark a major shift. The notion that appellate court decisions are to be interpreted by the "feelings" of the judge is a direct affront of the basic premise of our judicial system that is supposed to apply the law without personal emotion. If she is confirmed, then we need to take the blindfold off Lady Justice.—

1. Only one that Huckabee would approve of is Chuck Norris
No wonder both are pretty much 'has-beens and never will-bes'

2. I Haven't Learned Much About Her, Yet
But seeing this type of attack makes me feel confident she is the right person for the job! If the Repugs liked her, I would be more nervous, quite frankly.

8. That's my fear. It's unrealistic to expect that she
would be very liberal. After all, she's an Ivey League graduate and lawyer and her experience is largely on corporate matters.

25. It's probably the name of his housecleaner or his wife's manicurist.
That's why it came to mind, obviously...:evilgrin:

28. Just yeserday I saw an inteview with Rita Moreno who almost refused the role
Because she did not want to be type cast. She was right to hesitate because it limited her choices for roles for years afterwards. She also said Natalie Wood turned down the role of Maria multiple times until they offered her too much money to refuse.

9. "Extreme Court" shift
:wtf:

She *might* be to the left of Souter, who seems to be moderate or slightly left-of-center but to think that her on the court is going to dramatically shift the court anywhere is nonsense. Between Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, SCOTUS has a "healthy" rightward tilt to it that would require the absence of one of THEM (or maybe even Kennedy) to alter in any substantive way.

14. I been far right so long....it looks like the center to me...
I want to gag when I hear all of this RW crap rhetoric. They continue to think they are "mainstream" even after getting shellacked in consecutive elections cycles in epic numbers. Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

:shrug:
