Did Sotomayor Lie to Senators?

Did Judge Sonia Sotomayor twist the truth when she met with Senators before her confirmation hearings began? Does anyone on the Judiciary Committee have the guts to call her on it?

“Is there anything the Senate or Congress can do if a nominee says one thing seated at that table and does something exactly the opposite once they [are on the Supreme Court]?” Senator Arlen Specter asked Judge Sonia Sotomayor on Wednesday. When Sotomayor promises her “fidelity” to the rule of law the Senators simply have to trust that she is telling them the truth. Unfortunately, there is significant evidence that Sotomayor has been less than honest in private meetings with the Senators.

This past Saturday, The Wall Street Journal reported on a series of interviews it had done with Senators about their private meetings with Sotomayor. Incredibly, every one of Sotomayor’s private statements to the Senators, as reported by The Journal, were not only false, but she should also have known that they were false when she made them. Each inaccurate statement to the Senators involved speeches the judge had given numerous times and that she had clearly reviewed before meeting with the members of the Judiciary Committee.

For instance, shortly after Sotomayor’s nomination, her now infamous Berkeley law school speech began to receive public scrutiny. Understandably, many Senators asked her about her statement that: “a wise Latina woman with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white man.”

Sotomayor apparently told Republican Senators in private meetings that those words were “inadvertent” and “inartful,” — implying that her statement was an accident. President Obama himself tried to explain this statement as just a one-time utterance that she would have worded differently if she had the chance to do it all over again.

But after these private meetings with Senators it was revealed that Sotomayor had used the equivalent phrases during at least seven different speeches over a period of a decade. It is one thing for Obama to explain this as an accidental, single occurrence; it is something quite different for Sotomayor, especially now that we know that she repeatedly made such statements.

But have her statements to Democrats been any more accurate than those to Republicans?

Did Sotomayor Lie to Senators?

This line speaks volumes; But have her statements to Democrats been any more accurate than those to Republicans?

I have said this before, and it bears repeating, Sonia Sotomayor is a racist, a sexist, an anti Second Amendment, pro abortion, liberal automaton that toes the liberal line perfectly. Those are MY beliefs and there is NOTHING that she can do or say to convince me otherwise!

FOXNews and John Lott have done a great bit of work here, Sotomayor has been thoroughly and completely exposed for exactly what she is. Sotomayor has a reputation for being a fiery, hot blooded Type-A personality on the bench and is known for speaking her mind. Even when there wasn’t a thought to be had.

What the American public, and the Senators sitting on this panel saw, was a well coached stooge that is doing exactly as she was told to do. Be subdued, never show any emotion, especially anger. She was playing a part in a play that is going to shape the direction this nation travels for many years. It is NOT a good direction of travel.

After the last message I just sent to my 2 U.S. Senators, Cornyn and Hutchison, I may well be on the national watch list in the morning. If I’m not there already.

Senators: The headline reads: Sotomayor on her way as GOP pledges quick vote

I have always heard it said, ‘a word to the wise is sufficient’.

Here’s 2 words for you, Political Suicide.

That is exactly what you will be doing IF you vote to approve Sonia Sotomayor. Committing political suicide.

That statement was not meant to be a threat, not in any way. It IS a warning, but it’s not a threat. Cornyn and Hutchison are in control of their political future among Conservative and Republican Texans. I may be wrong but somehow, I just don’t see even the most moderate of RINOs accepting Sotomayor as a good selection for a seat on the Supreme Court.

When you couple that with the fact that MANY Texans are already more than just a little bit perturbed with both of our U.S. Senators over past transgressions, the Bush bailout, amnesty for illegals, no border fence, the Immigrant Dream act and so forth, as I said, a vote FOR the confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor may very well be, and personally, I hope it is, a case of political suicide.

I don’t know what it’s going to take to wake this nation up. When 9-11 occurred, it stirred a patriotic wave through America reminiscent of the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Sadly, many Americans have allowed their enthusiasm and desire to see a REAL victory to wane. Many Americans have become completely apathetic and refuse to see what the current REGIME in the Oval Office is doing to this once great nation.

There is NO victory on the horizon from the Obamanation and his band of hooligans. We are being robbed blind and the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court is merely another ploy, a tool being put in place that will allow this nation to sink further into the abyss of socialism. The ONLY chance the American people have is to expose Obama for the fraud he is and have him removed from office, and then continue to do battle with the most notoriously liberal leaders this nation has ever suffered.

Every law enforcement officer in this nation, every military officer, NCO or enlisted man took an oath to defend this nation from ALL enemies, both foreign and domestic. I hope those men and women remember their oath and will adhere to the principles of Oath Keepers.

The enemy within poses a much greater danger to America right now than all of our foreign enemies combined. The time is very near Americans, this nation was founded on dissent and revolution, and by God, this very night, dissent and revolution are brewing once again.

Deo Vindice my friends, and as many have already said, keep your powder dry!
