Estúpido John McCain Ataca a Sotomayor: Will Oppose Sonia and Smears her as "Judicial Activist"

[SuperTrouper]

There you have it, FAILED Presidential candidate Senator John McCain from the great State of Arizona has ripped into Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor calling her a judicial activist and not qualified to serve in the SCOTUS in spite "of being inspired by her life story". So, Arizona, listen up, you need a new Senator because this crazy loon McCain is off his rocker and serves the right wing of the Republican Party instead of the citizens of Arizona. ¡Fuera McCain! :mad:

Excerpt:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Sen. John McCain, his party's failed 2008 presidential contender, announced Monday he'd join the vast majority of the GOP to vote against Judge Sonia Sotomayor, who's on track to be confirmed this week as the first Hispanic justice.
McCain's decision, the day before the Senate debates President Obama's first high court nominee, underscored the degree to which Republicans — even those who, like the Arizonan, represent large Hispanic populations — have turned against Sotomayor. Conservatives argue she'd bring her own biases to the bench.


At the same time, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska — who had been publicly on the fence on Sotomayor and under pressure from gun rights activists to oppose her — announced he'd side with Democrats and vote "yes."

Just six Republicans have announced they'll break with their party to vote for Sotomayor, while nearly three-quarters of GOP senators say they'll oppose her. No Democrat has said she or he will oppose Sotomayor.


McCain called her background "inspiring and compelling," but added that, "an excellent resume and an inspiring life story are not enough to qualify one for a lifetime of service on the Supreme Court."

"She is a judge who has foresworn judicial activism in her confirmation hearings, but who has a long record of it," McCain said.

1. Epic Fail, Gramps.

I guess he isn't planning on running for re-election in AZ again.

[theothersnippywshrub]

5. Probably worried about a primary challenge. n/t

[SuperTrouper]

10. He's toast anyway...he will retire to one of his seven houses, if he can find them. nt

[high density]

2. but he's so moderate!!

:eyes:

[riderinthestorm]

3. Gosh, McCain is so principled (NOT!) to stand up to AZ's substantial latino population.

Could the guy be any more tone-deaf?

Talk about NOT representing the people you are elected to serve....

Sotomayor is as much a judicial activist as I am President Barack Obama. McCain's comments are dog whistle to the racist Rethugs. Why is he pandering to this group?

Weird.

[prostomulgus]

4. naked racism and sexism. Nothing more. n/t

[RedCloud]

6. KO reported he has more than a million dollars in bribe money from the healthcare moguls.

What a mousy type man.

[LSK]

7. during which case was she a "Judicial Activist"???

The only case they ever brought up during her hearings was the firefighters one where she ruled according to the law, exactly the opposite of being a Judicial Activist.

So what case are you referring to Senator Dumbfuck???

8. Mcpalin doesn't need no stinking evidence..all he

needs is his big lyin' mouth.

[SuperTrouper]

9. Maybe Rep. Gabrielle Giffords or Scy. Janet Napolitano will jump at the chance to bounce McAmbien

out of the Senate in 2010.

11. DoYou Know What McCain & Obama Have In Common?

They've both gone as high in the government as they are going to go.

[GoldenOldie]

12. Consider the source! John McCain chose Sara Palin to be his VP????

Qualifications have nothing to do with his vote. Arizona has two of the most pathetic and nasty Senators in the Nation. One only has to look at Kyl's voting record and his lack of interaction with his constituents/bosses to realize Kyl is all about Kyl. John McCain gained his fame as a POW and has been sucking off the teats of government from the day he was born. He and Kyl haven't a clue as to how real people live or the problems they encounter and what's worse, is they don't really care.

13. Yeah, with McCain's stellar history of judging integrity and honor

He certainly is soemone to speak out about Sotomayor...he did SOOOO well with Ms Palin.

This speaks volumes about this once honorable man.

[and-justice-for-all]

14. So all the judges pukes hire are not activist judges??

but of course they are.
