Talking While Stupid: White Evangelicals, Dr. Gates and President Obama
Date: 07/25/2009
I think President Obama was right to soften the tone of his statement the other day on the Gates arrest incident; the word "stupid" wasn't a helpful word choice. But the word, I think, accurately describes the reaction of a lot of white male commentators to the incident. Let's assume (for a minute, anyway) that Sgt. Leon Lashley, the African American officer who was present at the arrest, ...

We need to move forward (Erin)
Date: 07/15/2009
The Sotomayor confirmation hearings continue, and one of the exchanges between the nominee and Senator Tom Coburn has attracted some attention : WASHINGTON (AP) -- One of Sonia Sotomayor's Senate interrogators had a joking response Wednesday when she talked hypothetically -- and humorously -- about getting a gun to shoot him in self-defense. "You'll have lots of 'splainin' to do," replied GOP ...

Sotomayor: Clearly Qualified
Date: 07/16/2009
Let me try to figure out your position on what Judge Sonia Sotomayor has said about a couple of issues. I have a few questions. First, you noted in your last post that she said that Roe v. Wade was "settled law." Is this a bad thing? I thought conservatives were supposed to like the doctrine of stare decisis, the idea that absent extraordinarily compelling reasons, the Supreme Court d ...

Judge Sotomayor: Time for Tough Questions
Date: 07/13/2009
The much anticipated hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor commence before the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Barry, I am hopeful the Senators will ask the tough questions about her view of the Constitution and her judicial philosophy. The Senate has a constitutional role in providing advice and consent for nominees and it's only appropriate that the Senators ask the in-depth questi ...

Otherwise known as the confirmation hearing, can be viewed here . I listened to it for a second and then had to mute it, Feinstein's gushing was making me nauseous. ( via ) Update: Of course muting the confirmation hearing means I missed the excitement of a protester. Thankfully, I have Twitter: Protestor yells: "What about the unborn?! ... Stop the genocide of unborn Latinos!"

Can the Supreme Court Be Pure Again? (Was It Ever?)
Date: 07/15/2009
The confirmation hearings for Judge Sotomayor are a foregone conclusion, with the dust raised by Republicans barely masking the bald fact that the Democratic majority can vote in whomever they want. In any case, a ritual that resembles liar's poker more than a serious interrogation of judicial philosophy will stay true to form, with much dodging and weaving on the nominee's part. This time around ...

Good Questions: Yes; Pontifications and Disruptions: No
Date: 07/13/2009
Jay, of course senators on the Judiciary Committee should ask thoughtful questions about what we often refer to as "judicial philosophy" during the hearings on Judge Sonia Sotomayor. There is only one problem: some members of the committee have already made it clear they are planning ideological bloviations which will take up valuable time that ought to be spent on serious qu ...
