Another extremist leftie.  Big surprise obama appointed one.  If we're lucky she will be like most of his other appointments and will have "tax problems".  He is FAIL when it comes to makeing appointments isn't he?

What's wrong with homophobia?  If you say I can't hate someone just because they're a homosexual, then you're a racist.

Actually no, because I wouldn't be hating you because of your race but rather your stupid, inane views on a group of people.

My views are hardly stupid or inane.  I don't like gays because they refuse to worship life, wrap themselves into political webs, and are generally hate-filled, vindictive, and intolerant.

My position is well-informed and based in the facts.  Yours is not.  However, I respect your views, however misinformed they are.  I am the true liberal here.  You are just a pale imitation of the "bigots" you so hate.

You make Republican look bad, are you sure your not Sarah Palin's little brother?

I was unaware that Sarah Palin had a little brother.  But is it not my right to not like gay people?  Come to think of it, I like happy people and most gay people I meet aren't very happy (usually because they're sick with AIDS). 

You have ever right to not like someone, but when it is based on sexuality, it make you wrong. Also, most gay people don't have AIDS.

Generalizations are cool.

Nah I choose to dislike people based on their ignorance or stupidity. I actually don't mind you as a poster, you can be entertaining. I just dislike some of your views and reasoning for said views.

What if I dislike said sexuality?  I don't think there are 'right' and 'wrong' reasons for liking or disliking someone, and if I choose to dislike someone because they're gay or transexual (ugh) then I am right regardless.

Did you just not read what I said? I already stated you have the right to not like someone, but It is wrong to dislike someone because of their sexuality. Also, if you don't like a sexuality that fine, but gay people also have the right to live in peace and not hear(read) the stupid crap that you say.

I'm done with you, because it is like arguing with a child.

Positive.

I don't recall anyone suggesting that homophobia should be illegal. However, we do have a duty to point out how immature it is.

On the contrary; political correctness is a sign of immaturity.  Besides, 'f****t' is a delightful word that should not fall out of use because some people have to be societal policemen. 

It's immature to be afraid of things that can't hurt you. So in that sense, homophobia is very similar to being afraid of the boogeyman or the monsters under your bed.

Homophobes are a race?

Neg.    Racist left wing judge as if we don't already have enough of those in this country.

What she's going to say next  if there's a racial discrimination case...... Mexican people are harder workers then whites and blacks?

Awful choice for SCJ.

Rob, stop commenting so negative on everything conservative.

Neutral for now

Sotomayor is adamantly opposed to the Second Amendment and the right to keep and bear arms contained therein.

How exactly do you know this? I haven't heard a thing about her opinion on guns.

She's made it clear in cases like Maloney v. Cuomo (2009) that she feels that the 2nd amendment doesn't apply to states. She cited Presser v. Illinois (1886) and Bach v Pataki (2005) in her argument as precedents. Of course the former is essentially meaningless since the incorporation doctrine didn't exist until after. Going by that logic states should still be allowed to have their own religions, but somehow I doubt she'd be OK with that. I'd call her kind of reaching activism.

[Marokai Backbeat]

Gun control is a major non-issue to me anyway, so I don't really care either way.

But your opinion of what is or isn't activism/policy making on the courts is as foggy as He Who Must Not Be Named.

Even the nutty ninth recognized that the Second Amendment applies to the states.  Nordyke v. King (2009)

Even Obama's record isn't that anti-gun.

Some of us like people that respect our rights and are intellectually honest.

Just because someone doesn't feel like getting into pointless flame fests with you doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about. For the record, my position on activism is very clear. If someone is reaching beyond the Constitution and/or engaging in mental gymnastics based on ideology or personal agenda, that's activism. And that's not limited to liberals either, 'Conservatives' on the court like Alito can be just as guilty of that.
