Does anyone believe that President Obama thinks experience is an important qualification? He selected Judge Sonia Sotomayor because he needed to pick a liberal to placate his left flank while still having protection from his right flank. A protracted fight for the Supreme Court will undermine his chance to get socialized medicine and pass the cap and tax plan.

That’s why we got the warning from the White House Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs:

I think it is probably important for anybody involved in this debate to be exceedingly careful with the way in which they’ve decided to describe different aspects of this impending confirmation

As if conservatives didn’t already know the liberal playbook. They are ready to scream sexism or racism at the slightest hint of criticism.

The irony is the racism displayed by the Democrats and our first “black” President. Like most conservatives, I couldn’t care less what her sex or race is. All I’m concerned about is someone who will defend the Constitution as a written, non-living document…someone who understands the meaning of words and doesn’t redefined even simple terms like “is”. I want someone who understands and respects the Founding Fathers.

If picking someone for the Supreme Court by their race and for potential votes from the largest growing minority is “politically savvy”,  and supporting the ideals of the Constitution and the vision of our founders is racist…then we truly have been duped by dishonest, self-serving people.
