"Sotomayor is a graduate from Princeton University, where her legal theses included Race in the American Classroom, and Undying Injustice: American "Exceptionalism" and Permanent Bigotry, and Deadly Obsession: American Gun Culture. In this text, the student Sotomayor explained that the Second Amendment to the Constitution did not actually afford individual citizens the right to bear arms, but only duly conferred organizations, like the military. Instead of making guns illegal, she argues that they have been illegal for individuals to own since the passing of the Bill of Rights."
Update: Might not be true: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_05_24-2009_05_30.shtml#1243364874 Either way though, this lady is not friendly to the 2nd, or the other amendments for that matter IMO. |

Someone needs to tell her that if that's the case, the first amendment isn't an individual right either and she needs to STFU.

If you can't beat the definition of the 2nd amendment.... just come out and say it is unconstitutional...
These people are a joke.This statement should disqualify her from ANY judicary job, where she can just fucking say something is unconstitutional when she wants to impose her ideas on everyone else. |

Seriously, how does someone get into a high judicial position with that kind of position in her background? I don't see any way shape or form how you can read the 2A along with the writings of the Founding Fathers, come up with that nonsense, and get appointed to the highest court in the land?? Didn't anyone ever tell her that words mean things?

She needs to read some Supreme Court jurisprudence, it's precedence for her new job. Of course, she doesn't have much of a record on following the law. Oh well, it's the new "feel good" America swirling the toilet anyway.

Didn't anyone ever tell her that words mean things? There is a TON of quotes from the founders themselves, talking informally about the subject. And it was VERY clear what they thought of as the 2nd amendment. That we the PEOPLE need to be armed. These idiots only looks at that sentence, but have failed miserably and look what the founding fathers said about gun ownership themselves. |

She has an interesting way of interpreting the law. BTW - if you are a white firefighter, who spends over $1000.00 on study material, hires a reader because your're dyslexic, spend 8 - 12 hours a day studying for a year for your promotional test, have the high score, and are subsequently told you won't be promoted because you are white, don't look to her for sympathy. She will simply dismiss your case.

At least the conservative judges should be in place for at least a little while. I'm thinking he'll be able to slide a real first-class ideologue past the Republitards in this first pick - it will be his Darth Bader Ginsburg. I doubt he'll get that lucky on the next one. Honestly, I hope the conservative justices are keeping a close eye on their surroundings. It's not too far-fetched to think an enviro-nutjob or anti-gunner would waste one of them in order for the TOTUS to be able to have his "transformative" presidency.

I really don't care if the nominee is male, female, white, black, or green as a goddamn apple. And their upbringing, background, and personal history have absolutely nothing to do with interpreting the constitiution. And that is what the job should be about. |
