"Serious Problems"

The nominee has serious problems.

The most serious being that she was nominated by Obama.

Sessions dismisses possibility of filibuster

What a goddamn shame! If only this cesspool of human shit had decided to filibuster, it might have enabled us to permanently cleanse them from the American political process once and for all.

Though I have to concede my deep disappointment at Obama's refusal to provide a meaningful repudiation of torture by officials of the United States government, I freely admit that I'm willing to make an exception for his relentless and continuing torture of the herd of dumb animals that call themselves Republicans.

yikes

"The nominee has serious problems. Those kinds of things that might happen."

please tell me this is a bad transcript and NOT that the gop head of the judiciary committee speaks that poorly.

Translation

"I don't think we have enough votes to sustain a filibuster."

George Will Weighs In

I hate George Will. He is nothing more than a proper Ann Coulter. In today's op-ed he declares Sotomayor's views subvert the law. This is after he accused Obama of undermining the rule of law. In between he based California for its budget crisis, but failed to mention the GOP had handcuffed the budget process by requiring a 2/3 majority for raising taxes.

Sorry to go off topic, but George Will is a disgusting human being

I never knew his left ear was so large

He's been tilting his head to the right all these years to hide it from us.

Republicans are so predictable

If Obama had nominated Jesus Himself these jokers would still say there are major problems with the nomination.

Of course they would object to Jesus.

Jesus was a liberal activist.
