Yawn.

Mr. Mavericky and his mavericky party continue their slip into irrelevancy.

Interesting. In recent interviews, McCain has chastised Obama as he asserted Obama's lack of real bipartisan actions. At the same time he stated the Repubs need to expand base and act to embrace minorities.

Hmmmm.

Given his recent record on choosing people he believes are 'qualified', why would any rational adult with an IQ in 3 figures pay any attention to this fossil?

"It demonstrates a lack of respect for the popular will that is at fundamental odds with our republican system of government."

A sentence from a 3rd grader's notebook...but I digress. It is true that the popular will can be at fundamental odds with a republican form of government. McCain is taking a jab at the popular, or majority, will in this country--as expressed in the last presidential election.

A republican form of government is best expressed in the drag that the House of Lords...er, Senate... has on our society and on our culture. And McCain is certainly expressing exactly how our lords...er, Senators...will continue to be a drag.

I will work against this in the midterms for any viable Democratic candidate for the US Senate. Can we get rid of these dinosaurs?

"Gawddammit, I told you kids to GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN! If ya don't get offit right damn now, I can shootcha! That's the law, ya know! I can shootcha and shootcha dead!"

I'm no fan of John McCain but this is bizarre.

What did the health records of Senator Mc show again? anyone?

Great News! This will certainly boost Mclame for his re-election campaign efforts. Wouldn't it just be so fine if McDork gets retired by the hispanic vote from AZ.

What dim-bulb, air-head, lightweight this guy is. When was the last time McCain said something that was actually true? What an idiot he is.

Can we say bye bye Hispanic vote?

From his "Statement":

Though she attempted to walk back from her long public record of judicial activism during her confirmation hearings, Judge Sotomayor cannot change her record. In a 1996 article in the Suffolk University Law Review, she stated that ‘a given judge (or judges) may develop a novel approach to a specific set of facts or legal framework that pushes the law in a new direction.’ Mr. President, it is exactly this view that I disagree with.

In the first full paragraph atop the page numbered 38, the judge and her coauthor listed 4 FACTUAL reasons that help explain the law’s “unpredictability” (i.e., why a lawyer cannot reliably predict the outcome of a case). McCain cites with the third reason as though it is some kind of advocacy on Judge Sotomayor’s part rather than an element of explaining THE SITUATION THAT ACTUALLY EXISTS TODAY.

Once again, McCain shows his craven side. He is an unmitigated hypocrite.

And chaunceybaker, I find it easier to loathe McCain every day. He gives me plenty of reasons to do so.

It pisses me off that Obama & Rahm took Napolitano out of a potential race against McCain and are wasting her in DHS.

John

I seriously doubt that McCain has even engaged in seriously thinking about the judicial process. He merely parrots the standard talking points developed by others that seem right to him. But I have seen no indication he has thought seriously, or is capable of thinking seriously, about the dilemmas of judicial philosophy, or the practical application of such a philosophy on actually deciding cases.

The only reason he matters at all is because he has a vote. And he constantly proves that it is unfortunate he does. He is not a thinker.

Of course the MSM will run with McCain's comments since they love him. Bet anything NBC's David Gregory (McCain's favorite fan) has him on MTP in a week or two. And give McCain all the fawning he can.

Because who understands racism better than racist old white guys?

Meghan to John: "Dad, STFU! And, quit calling me fat."

McCain voted against Sotomayor in 1998 when she was nominated for an Appeals position by then President Clinton, and she got her first judgeship by a unanimous consent vote in the Senate. but then a Republican nominated her the first time so it might've been easier to vote for her then. this is strictly political for McCain as he's pretty much reading verbatim the GOP talking points.

Poor John. After a lifetime of failures and living off others' largess, accomplishing nothing but being feisty enough to endure confinement and playing that to the hilt, he's worn down. He has no long standing principles, friends or accomplishments. Now he's old. All those drinks at Cubi Point, North Island and Pensacola have worn him brain thin. He and I are the same age. I had the sense to retire a few years ago.
