Hi K-Lo…I was a little disturbed last week when you kept worrying that the President would pick a woman. I don’t think there should be “woman’s seat” on the bench but I do think that we have a problem if there isn’t one woman in the whole country qualified to be on the Supreme Court. Now I see why you were worried.
This nomination smacks of gender politics. I can’t believe the President did this to us. This elitism crap is getting old too. I went to FSU and now UCF – I am no elitist and I feel completely betrayed. I get angrier every day. I am so glad I have the Corner and Bench Memos so I can hear from people who are as shocked as I am.
These elitist accusations are out of left field and they are a sign of worry. Name calling and personal attacks are supposed to be the speciality of the Democrats. They do that when they don’t want to debate the merits of an issue. The administration clearly does not want to really discuss or debate the merits of this nomination so they are resorting to name calling. It is very disappointing!
Oh, and one more thing…if I hear the word ‘trailblazer’ again, I think I’ll puke!
