Soto says, 'I have friends who hunt'

Well this just changes everything!

Sotomayor, 55, told the Senate Judiciary Committee: "I understand how important the right to keep and bear arms is to many people; one of my godchildren is a member of the NRA. I have friends who hunt."

She attempted to reassure lawmakers that she wouldn't bring "preconceived notions" about guns to the Supreme Court if she is confirmed as a justice.

Liar, liar, robe on fire!

[JC5123]

I have watched maybe an hours worth of the hearings and every time she is challenged about a decision that she made the answer is always the same:

We made that decision on a very narrow part of the law, so the real law didn't apply.

I couldn't watch more than about 20 min before becoming ill. But from what I saw, she and Robert Gibbs should enter "Dancing with the Stars". I've never seen two people who could dance around issues like Soto, and Gibbs.

 Reminds me of hearing Nazi era Germans say "Some of my best friends were Jews".

You got that right.

You are correct that her statement was: "I understand how important the right to keep and bear arms is to many people."

She did not say that it was important to her or that she agreed with it. A typical slimy, elusive, political response.

The portions of the hearings that I have watched, have shown me that Sotomayor will not give a direct answer to any question.

When asked today if she believed that people have a "right to self defense", she again danced around the topic and never gave a straight answer. She got off on a tangent about her experience with New York law and determining if a person acted properly in accordance with New York's laws regarding their use of force for self defense. That was in no way close to an answer about her belief in an individual's right to self defense.

She seems to be doing everything possible to conceal her personal beliefs and adgenda. This, in itself, is dishonest. Not a quality that I look for in a justice who will serve in the highest court in our land.


I was already deeply concerned about this nominee, based upon her prior rulings and her stated beliefs. The hearings have only caused me to be more certain than ever that she is NOT the right person to place on the SCOTUS for a (shudder) life term.

I am 100% sure that she carries.............................a giant chip on her shoulder.

I only watched for a few minutes, but I honestly thought that her and Chucky Schumer were gonna have to get a room.

The small portion I watched, had Soto and Sen. Dick Durbin, acting the same way.

She is telling the committee what the want to hear, and it won't matter anyway once confirmed.

The are only to ways to remove a SCOTUS Justice:

Take the body to the funeral home.
Impeachment by the Congress,...Uh, that won't happen either.

So she can say I love puppies and children, blah, blah, blah,.....

Nothing will happen to her after confirmation, and she can continue her far-left, mini BHO judicial agenda.
