It is quite clear in my post that the quote in question was Sotomayor's statement released by Leahy, not Leahy's own statement.William A.

Sometimes your errors make your writing almost incomprehensible. Sometimes they just make me laugh.<br /><br />Above, for example, where you attribute a quote to Senator Leahy, either you think Leahy is a woman, or you misattributed the quote, or you don't know how to use quotation marks. A law professor, of all people, should know how important accurate punctuation is. Lawsuits have been filed and won on the basis of a misplaced comma.<br /><br />Your writing is riddled with such errors. If you are going to continue to spew the neonsense you spew here, the least you could do is get a grad student to copyedit your work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-42237673820759109532009-06-04T00:12:58.163-04:002009-06-04T00:12:58.163-04:00Professor Jacobson, I am agog with curiousity as t...Professor Jacobson, I am agog with curiousity as to why you are not yet convinced that Sotomayor would be a bad choice. I can get why, as a conservative, you liked the idea of Cass Sunstein, because (this from Wikipedia) he's into judicial minimalism, which seems to be a liberal way to say following precedent. But what about Sotomayor's legal philosophy do you think is ok? What about Ricci? Maybe you will post more thoughts on Sotomayor later. Six Catholic justices on the Supreme Court?? My grandmother would have been overjoyed.

The bounce that Obama got upon announcing So-So has completely receded. He may get a rally-round-the-flag bounce for his foreign trip - or may not depending on how it goes - but if they don’t manage to change the subject somehow as the hearings commence and climax, this could be a wound that bleeds for a long time, and leaves a scar.CK MacLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04526506408971823547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-84970433083347270002009-06-03T21:02:15.791-04:002009-06-03T21:02:15.791-04:00"I'm just worried that she's Harriet ..."I'm just worried that she's Harriet Miers bait..."<br /><br />I wouldn't worry about that too much Smitty1e.<br /><br />That changed with the election.<br /><br />Bush had the long and nasty habit of appointing political hacks and his personal sycophants over such things as "competence" or "qualifications".<br /><br />Btw, Sarah Palin as a female, represents women as much as Clarence Thomas represents African-Americans.<br /><br />Look at Palin's daughter and her "abstinence only" education... how'd that work out?<br /><br />Sorry, Palin is not an advocate for Women's Rights... she's a right-wing hillbilly that can't handle half an hour of "Meet the Press".davemartin7777https://www.blogger.com/profile/08742635518976750241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-43054641407717754492009-06-03T20:29:15.488-04:002009-06-03T20:29:15.488-04:00I'm just worried that she's Harriet Miers ...I'm just worried that she's Harriet Miers bait, with someone even more extreme in the offing, after S.S. has worn down the resistance.smitty1ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559464300318848169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-83303906670462241582009-06-03T19:57:24.692-04:002009-06-03T19:57:24.692-04:00The Republican party is the party of white conserv...The Republican party is the party of white conservatives... mostly male.<br /><br />Google the Gallup pole, <br /><br />"Republican Base Heavily White, Conservative, Religious"<br /><br />The good professor and Republicans is general want America to believe that white conservative males are the only Americans that don't self identify.<br /><br />Please, please take your philosophy to the voters, I'm begging you.<br /><br />It's so much fun watching the Republican party dying a slow, embarrassing death it really is.<br /><br />Best of luck with minority and the young voter in 2012.<br /><br />Palin/Joe "The Unlicensed" Plumber in 2012 for teh win!davemartin7777https://www.blogger.com/profile/08742635518976750241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-59850908168711772062009-06-03T18:32:07.403-04:002009-06-03T18:32:07.403-04:00I'm reminded of all the criticism of McCain by...I'm reminded of all the criticism of McCain by Democrats for choosing a female running mate in a blatant attempt to pander to women voters.
