Lawyers tag nominee as ‘terror on the bench’
Lawyers who have argued cases before Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor call her “nasty,” “angry” and a “terror on the bench,” according to the current Almanac of the Federal Judiciary — a kind of Zagat’s guide to federal judges.
The withering evaluation of Judge Sotomayor’s temperament stands in stark contrast to reviews of her peers on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Of the 21 judges evaluated, the same lawyers gave 18 positive to glowing reviews and two judges received mixed reviews. Judge Sotomayor was the only one to receive decidedly negative comments.
Ok, So we have a racist, liberal, activist with a nasty temper. And all of this is documented. If the so-called conservatives don’t stand up to this, then may God have mercy on our souls. We are doomed.
If you think this “appointee” can stand up to 1% of the scrutiny that most of Bush’s picks were subjected to, you are living in a dream world. But she’ll probably get a few softballs underhanded to her, and she’ll sail right through the cesspool some call the Senate.
