Score one for the good guys..
Please, don't make me puke after helping myself to some fresh popcorn.
Anyway, here's the vote:
Senate roll call #262
There hasn't been a real reason to oppose a SCOTUS nominee for years with the notable exception of Harriet Miers
cheap shot.
have some popcorn.
She was a corporate advocate for years before taking to the bench. I really haven't reviewed her rulings to get a clear picture but that really concerns me.
It's not vague that Obama's will have half of his cabinet filled with immigrants by the end of his first administration, as the current trend hinds, though it's unsure if he will manage to cut the deficit in half by that time.
It's easy to cut the deficit in half after increasing it four times or more, but it's still double or more than the previous president!

Tell that to Robert Bork - he was treated so horribly, it spawned a new word.
Even Bork thought Miers sucked.
Bork argued, sparred, debated, was very combative, and aggressive. He got Borked.
Bork borked himself. His role in the Saturday night massacre didn't help either.
Another win for affirmative action. Yay!
Glad to see that a well-qualified judge can be confirmed to the high court.
I'd expect at least 2 more resignations in the next three years.
Stevens and Ginsburg?
Who, in your learned opinion, was more qualified?
Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Ted Haggard
Given that you wrote this comment in this thread, I thought you might like to know:
1. The Supreme Court is not part of the cabinet.
2. Sotomayor was born in the Bronx.
Why- because a Hispanic woman could not possibly be qualified?
She ruled on an earlier NFL case while on the 2nd bench in favor of the NFL-as-one en y.. I'll be curious to see what she says if the NFL case out there now goes to SCOTUS.
Sotomayer is a horrid choice, but it's not like she wouldn't be confirmed. The Senate is mostly a rubber stamp machine for judges unless there's ethical questions.
I'm just glad she got voted against a significant amount after all the stink raised by the Republicans. There's little more upsetting to see a group of Senators complain incessantly about a nominee and then find the confirmation vote was 98-1 (or some such).
Well, considering the the deficit he promised to cut in half was 2/3 one time expenses, you'd think he'd be able to achieve that, but the way he's going he won't.
I'm pretty sure it was the Supreme Court that established the precedent of treating corporations as "persons" under the law.
Harriet Miers was a slap in the face to all americans, and was analogous to spitting right in the founding fathers' faces.
Republicans can rest easy now....odds are like a bajillion to one that Obama will now have to go back to the tried formula of nominating old white men for the remainder of his presidency.
