The Sotomayor Supreme Court nomination

Barack Hussein Obama is determined to push through the Supreme Court appointment of Sonia Sotomayor (pictured), a candidate who, in her own words, considers a 'wise Latina woman' smarter than white males, and who thinks the courts are supposed to make policy and law rather than interpret the law.

Conservatives should not worry about losing the Latino vote if they vigorously challenge the Sotomayor appointment. They don’t have the Latino vote now, at least not from Latinos with limited education (which is the majority of Latino voters) so why worry about losing votes they don’t have in the first place.

However, if the Republicans are successful in blocking her appointment in committee, Mr. Obama could appoint her during a congressional recess (a recess appointment) and put her on the Supreme Court without congressional approval.

A recess appointment, however, would be a limited victory for Obama because it would only be good until the end of the term rather than a lifetime appointment.
