Comments on: Reaction To The Nomination https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/05/27/reaction-to-the-nomination/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Thu, 28 May 2009 21:34:48 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2009/05/27/reaction-to-the-nomination/comment-page-1/#comment-45506 Thu, 28 May 2009 21:34:48 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=9284#comment-45506 She isn’t a liberal, she’s a centerist, and hangs close to the established rulings. She hasn’t done anything particularly exciting, but then, she isn’t supposed to. Judges are supposed to state the law for a particular set of circumstances.

You can’t get “creative” until you sit on the Supreme Court, because until then you are subject to being overruled.

For me, the big thing is that she has actually tried as a prosecutor and heard as a judge criminal trials. The Supreme Court almost never has anyone with actual criminal law experience, even though that is the basis for most trials in the country.

I’m shuddering to think how bad it will eventually get… I hope she has Hillary Clinton’s number on speed dial.

Fallenmonk, She has more experience than anyone currently on the Court when they were nominated, and she has state-level criminal law experience which is totally lacking from the Court.

CK, They are complaining about her “Second Amendment” ruling, which was about nunchuks being illegal in New York. She ruled in favor of states rights, which was the position of the Supreme Court at the time.

It makes it difficult for the GOP to criticize her without alienating voters they need to appeal to if they want to even exist in the future.

I think the abortion issue is much ado about nothing, since this woman has never really made any solid ruling against a woman’s right to choose. She in many ways is a blank slate regarding many matters.

SMU – no honors
no judicial experience
no prosecuting experience
no teaching experience
merely because they are both women.
They just won’t admit that President Obama has picked one of the best candidates available and they won’t be able to stop her rising to the highest court as she should.
