State conservatives mobilize anti-Sotomayor effort
A conservative coalition has formed in Colorado to oppose President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court, arguing that the New York judge is a judicial activist who puts her “personal political agenda” above the rule of law.
“Sonia Sotomayor’s statement that a ‘wise Latina woman’ would generally make better decisions because of ‘the richness of her experiences’ than a white male reveals the extent to which political and personal agendas have supplanted the rule of law in selecting nominees,” former State Treasurer Mark Hillman said in a press release announcing the coalition. “Rule of law requires that laws be written, accessible, understandable and uniformly applied.”
…Other organizers of the Colorado anti-Sotomayor effort include John Andrews, former president of the state Senate; Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, a conservative Colorado think tank; and Jeff Crank, state director of Americans for Prosperity.
No word yet on whether Tom Tancredo will be joining the anti-Sotomayor festivities, but you might say he already has. At any rate, the crack team of Hillman, Andrews and Jon “Bitch Slap” Caldara should be able to give Sotomayor the exposure she so richly deserves – and send any sane Republicans left over from the Tancredo disaster scurrying for the exits.

with John Andrews (White Male), Mark Hillman (White Male), John Caldera (White Male), and Jeff Crank (White Male)…
Not that they ever let their White Maleness interfere with their political choices.
Breaking out the B Team!
John Andrews–presiding over the decline of the Colorado GOP. And now this, everyone knows Sotomayor will be confirmed–today she was endorsed by the top names in national law enforcement organizations…
Thus, the ‘has been’ team is jumping late on a losing issue, one that will further alienate them from everyone but the declining wingnut base.
Andrews:
How about opposing seatbelt ads in Spanish–racist or idiot, or idiotic racist?
The Know-Nothings LOVE them some John Andrews…
Pre-Natal care for brown skinned people? CAIR wants to end that too.
And how does Mr. Andrews view his band of washed-up old white guys jumping on a losing issue to reflexively oppose a well-qualified nominee to the SCOTUS (who happens to be a member of the fatest growing demographic in the nation and state, viewed favorably by none other than Laura Bush?
You can head for the parking lot when these losers take the field, unless watching disasters unfold is your thing.
Andrews + Caldara + Hillman = unbeatably brainy and successful
What do they get out of this? They aren’t going to prevent Sotomayor from being confirmed. This will not improve their standing with the groups they need to appeal to in order to start winning again. Do they just like the experience of public failure?
That’s exactly it.
Jamba nailed it methinks.
It is part of a campaign to legitimatize courts.
None of those 3 will ever run for anything (again in 2 cases). None of them is focused on the GOP being successful. What all 3 are focused on is the same thing as Rush, Hannity, etc – that they feed the base red meat so they keep getting financial support from that base.
The GOP winning would actually be bad for them financially.

I’m Caucasian, male, and failed at elective politics. Doesn’t that qualify me ?

Because you are a thoughtful principled person – so you don’t qualify 🙂

at some point you would think think the old adage of “pick and choose your battles” would enter the minds of these three guys…
They just haven’t learned that these battles are losers for them now. It wasn’t long ago that they were winners…
I say, keep on keepin’s on fellas. The more they do this, the more marginalized they become.
When was the last time any of these guys won anything? I mean, seriously?

How the hell does a woman get medical services by claiming to be pregnant when she is not? Pregnancy is not a figment of the imagination. Only men who have never even been close to women would make such an bizarre statement…
I would presume that this would be an example of a wise Latina woman making a better decision that one of these white males….
Like the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster.
