Lindsey Graham re Sonia Sotomayor....is he saying she's uppity and not really an American?
Links below, but the headlines caught my eye:

Graham: Does Sotomayor “really understand what America is about?”

Graham: Sotomayor thinks she’s superior


My, didn't his pals say much the same about candidate Obama?

You gotta love the not-so-deftly coded language.

2. if she thought that, we'd know from her record
she's been on the federal courts longer than any SC nominee in 100 years, there's a long history of decisions there.

Other than that one comment, is there any evidence whatsoever that Sotomayor thinks Latinos are superior?

3. Oh heck they do not even bother to read the little blip they are promoting in the first place
They are obsessing on the word "better", while ignoring the word "hope" at the beginning of that little paragraph. You do not even have to read the whole thing as some suggest to get the true drift.

It was there, she would hope that her experience in the things she has experienced would make her a better judge than someone who has not had that same experience.

Well heck, I would hope it would also

5. Lindsey Graham is a self-hating gay Republican asshat. He's a confused psychopath
Why anyone would take what Lindsey Graham says is beyond me. It's pretty transparent. He is too much of a coward to leave the gay-hating party for which he belongs. He simply is a coward of the worst kind.

What he says about anything or anyone is irrelevant. He is bereft of any credibility whatsoever and is the poster child for Moral Relativism.
