THE ATTACK DOGS ARE READY FOR SOTOMAYOR'S CONFIRMATION HEARINGS

The GOP will likely let Jeff Sessions, (Rep) Al. , be the one to lead the questioning. Sessions was Reagan's choice for U S District Court in Alabama in 1986.
He tried to prosecute three civil rights workers, one who was a former aide to Martin Luther King, Jr.on a case of voter fraud. He was unsuccessful.

He labeled the National Association For Colored People (NAACP), and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), "un-american" and "communist-inspired". Sessions called a white civil rights lawyer a "disgrace to his race"

Sessions said most of the time he had been joking and was sometimes "loose with his tongue". He also admitted to calling the Voting Rights Act of 1965 " a piece of intrusive legislation". I think the confirmation hearings will be lively.

WAS SONIA SOTOMAYOR JUST TALKING SMACK ?

Is Sonia Sotomayor a racist or was she just talking smack ? Are the comments she made about white men her attempt at humor ? This is the same thing that got Michael Steele in trouble on CNN and forced Andrew Young to resign from the board of Walmart.

Judge Sotomayor is brilliant but what the people want to know is, if there is a dark side to her. So maybe these things will be cleared up in the confirmation hearings.
