Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor avoided a “total meltdown” during her confirmation hearings, even as she underwent a grilling by the likes of Sen. Lindsey Graham, who trotted out a series of scathing anonymous evaluations of Sotomayor by unimpressed attorneys. Clearly, Sen. Graham hasn’t Googled himself lately.

Mahr vs Ashcroft: Canadian who touched US soil when plane landed here; he was scheduled to catch another & fly out; instead he was “detained”; his lawyers ofc called at 9pm on Sun; refused to call her home or cell; when found Syria happy to detain & torture him, he was loaded on plane to go there (told only as being boarded); when freed & back he sued Federal Conspiracy: Sotomayer said with each administration “new rules & regs” are set up; needed to CALL the WH administration to find out HOW to “rule”; thus she is being promoted; the RULES & REGS are LAWS folks: and changes take place PRIOR to any nomination for Pres; & any other time this CRIMINALLY RUN FASCIST GOV feels like it; even to BACK DATING; subpeoniaing (JUDGES) original archives of the INTERNET so they can be CHANGED; THIS is how the USA is run; and now ON TO GLOBALLY!
At a National Press Conference (c span) only: member of Congressional Judicial Committee being interogated by PRESS: including PUERO RICO: when it was openly stated that JUSTICE had to be restored to the US: when it was stated the JUDICIAL BRANCH of the GOV of the USA was BROKEN: Congressman shrugged & stated: no one can “recall” anything (in other words, life in the Fascist criminal with no justice “democracy” as ususal; THIS is quite simply “theatricals” and “charades” put on for Public Perception: mislead, deceive; do whatever you want, whenever you want, have all the $ you will want, & never be brought to justice.

That being said, Sotomayor has a fascinating inspiring story, and, she refuses to commit to anything.

Where have I heard that before..

Pagan hit the nail on the head.  Lindsay Graham was sooooooo pleased with himself and, IMO, he was performing for his audience(s).  Some commentators opined that he was very “civil” in his questioning.  I, however, thought he came off as petty, patronizing and egotistical.  Sessions was a bully in his approach and Cornyn was ingenuine.

My guess is that Sen. Graham spends a lot of time “googling” himself.

Anonymous attacks are contemptible.

It was absurd to allow Grahamn to spout those off, anonymous from the internet….
