The new right-wing meme: Sotomayor Hates White People

[marmar]

Glenn Beck, Dobbs, Limbaugh and now Tancredo.....


The Republican Party is devoid of anything resembling a conscience. It is intellectually and morally bankrupt - completely. Sad and pathetic.

1. Pathetic "People"

You are correct. They are sad and pathetic.

I have little sympathy for them, however.

2. She is going to be sharing a bench with 7 white people

But why am I even arguing with right wing statements?

[slampoet]

3. Us white people give everyone the right to hate Glen Beck, Dobbs, Rush, and even Tancredo

4. They tried the same heinous crap on Michelle Obama

They're Whitey proclamations were an epic fail for them.

I love it when Republicans give in to their worst tendencies.
Mmmmm

5. The problem with Sotomayor

is her opinion in Walczyk v. Rio.

Within this opinion Sotomayor clearly indicates that the only protection an individual has against his civil rights being violated by the police force is the limited understanding of those constitutional liberties by the arresting officer. If a "reasonable officer" would believe that his actions were legal under the circumstances then that officer is "immune" from prosecution and civil liability. Furthermore, any evidence gathered or arrest made during the action, rather constitutional or not, can be used as evidence and the arrest can stand.

Now, from this ruling one can easily see that in Sotomayor's legal view, a military individual waterboarding an enemy combantant is completely free from prosecution as long as any "reasonable soldier" would believe that the actions were legal. But worse, any "evidence" gathered during the waterboarding would be completely admissable in court.

Abortion, gay rights, judicial revisionism--they all "smoke screens". The real hurry to confirm Sotomayor lies in the docket of the upcoming Supreme Court, and the hearing of several cases involving criminal enforcement and investigation. A Sotomayor justice is just another step toward the police state.

6. Another step toward a police state?

Umm, okay.

[sparticus]

9. What do you make of this?

The portion of the majority's qualified immunity discussion that I find objectionable reads as follows: "If the right at issue was not clearly established by then existing precedent, then qualified immunity shields the defendant. Even if the right at issue was clearly established in certain respects, however, an officer is still entitled to qualified immunity if `officers of reasonable competence could disagree' on the legality of the action at issue in its particular factual context."

23. RIP, sucker nt

7. Wasn't that the meme for West Side Story?

When is this B.S. gonna stop?

21. You may be right...

Thus the "Maria" Sotomayor from Mr. Huckabee.

[Iggo]

11. Yeee-haaaw! Here we go!

[lpbk2713]

12. The 'Party of Hate' is pointing fingers.

How ironic. Just tune in to any of the RW Radio Hatemongers
at any hour of the day to see what real hate is.

[merh]

13. worse - she hates white men

as written on another board

It was definately racist. Justice is supposedly blind but this one thinks she needs to legislate from the bench and she thinks her personal experience as a latin woman should play a part in her decisions.

[sinkingfeeling]

14. Didn't they say the same about the Obamas? How'd that turn out for 'em.

[rcrush]

15. LOL who doesnt?!

Especially if you worked retail where nothin but rich white douchebags shop. LOL White peoples! jk kinda

[Vickers]

16. Repukes calling someone racist...

[BolivarianHero]

17. That's funny...

A White Supremacist worshipped by Rush made her a federal judge.

[juno jones]

18. I dare them to produce the 'whitey' tape.

Where's the smoking gun?

That's right, you made it up. You kept telling the lie, hoping people's belief would eventually elevate it into the Goering sweet zone of accepted totalitarian wisdom. But it crashed anyway. And this will too.

[kentuck]

19. That is rich!

Limbaugh and Buchanan calling someone else a "racist"?!!

[BolivarianHero]

20. And a Bush Sr. appointee to the federal bench no less...

Were they disappointed she wasn't an Auntie Tomita.

[madmom]

22. Rightwingers can't imagine not feeling some kind of disdain for those they

feel are not like them, therefore they can't imagine anyone else not having the same feelings.
