Well it certainly looks like the questioning of our New Justice…oops…I mean nominee…is going very, very, very well. She certainly has charmed those Senators.

Of course the Democrats have the 60 votes they need to take this to a simple up or down vote, so I suspect this will all go rather quickly and we will have this wonderful new Justice to sit on our Supreme Court. A filibuster proof Senate is far more efficient and effective.

News across, I do not know who to trust. It is getting so out of hand. Whether the person is qualified for the job does not matter anymore from where i sit. Our founding fathers may be looked up to, but when History is told accurately, even then there were problems. Is Dick Cheney guilty ? Did bush know ? Or was bush aware of an assassination squad?. After we learned of how close we were during the Missiles crisis,it is a wonder this country has weathered the storms our government has put freedom, and this country,s people though. Always deceit, cover-ups, and the list goes on. American people just want our Government to be responsible, not only with the taxpayers money, but stop lying when they get into a fix. As i have learned,each president, senators, and congressman will have secrets that will be leaked to the people after the fact. I guess it is the old words that is often hit. "WHAt WE DO NOT KNOW, WONT HURT US. We are not stupid people, but common sense goes a long way.

Interpreting the Constitution is the job of the Justices….that is what they are supposed to do.

When i think about how this country is going, I want to believe in reality that there are people that are put into office with the same concerns,as most of us have. Whether it be a president, a congressman, senator, or judge. When i hear, and see the results of some of these people we vote into office,it becomes sickning. If i understand right, if this woman is placed in the highest court in the land,she will be there until she decides to reitre. Unlike the men/ women that we as a nation vote for. We vote them in and we can vote them out, but those that sit on the supreme court can be sitting there as long as it suits them. I do not think there is an age limit. How can they decide a ruling without using some of their views?If they went straight be the constitution we the people would not have nearly as much to worry about.. I think she is wrong for the job, but i have no decision in the matter.

With 9 out of 10 of her decisions being overturned in higher court decisions, it is obvious that she does not make her decisions in accordance with the Constitution. Rather, she makes her decisions based on her personal beliefs mixed with politics.

As long as the judge makes decisions by the Constitution without their own interpretation, I don't care who the judge is that gets nominated for the position.

Well Bobbie,

I don't think any of that will matter since both of those sources are owned by neoconservative Rupert Murdock and both are know for being nothing more than mouth pieces for the Republican Party.

As I said before, the Republicans do not have enough votes to filibuster and this nomination will go to a straight up or down vote. In the end her nomination will be easily confirmed by a 51% or greater majority.

Bobby she will be easily confirmed.

It only requires a 51-49 vote for her to be confirmed. The conservative opposition can no longer mount or sustain a filibuster. Thus, the nomination will go to a straight up or down vote…as the Founding Fathers intended.

However, I can empathize with you as now you know how we on the left felt when Bush nominated the ultra-right wing crazy Alito…and as I recall Bush and Frisk, then majority leader in the Senate, were both screaming for a straight up or down vote and Frisk was threating to change Senate Rule 22 (which is the rule that creates the filibuster right). We on our side of the aisle don't have to threaten the "Nuclear Option" as we now have a republican filibuster-free Senate.

She will be confirmed easily.
