Judge Sotomayor... Judicial Activism is No Laughing Matter.
When Justice David Souter announced that he was retiring from the Supreme Court at the end of its current term, President Obama didn't waste any time announcing to the American people just what type of person he was planning to nominate to the Court.

Obama told the American people that he considered "empathy" a prerequisite for his nominee. Let's be perfectly clear: "empathy" is nothing more than code for "judicial activism" - the favoring of certain classes of litigants over others in the judicial decision-making process.

And, if Judge Sotomayor's public statements are any indication of how she will judge on the Supreme Court, it appears that President Obama has found his gal.

By now, you've probably seen videos of Judge Sotomayor saying that the appellate courts are where "policies are made."

Sotomajor went on to say:

"And I know - I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don't make law. I know. O.K. I know. I'm not promoting it. I'm not advocating it. I'm - you know."

But what no one seems to be pointing out is that Sotomayor was playing to this crowd of Duke University law students and moved them to laughter and as she concluded her statement, she smirked... she actually smirked.

That telling wink-wink-nudge-nudge moment, caught forever on video... her smirk... the laughter. Sotomayor is not just a left-wing activist judge who is willing to occasionally legislate from the bench.

She's proud of her judicial activism; so much so, that she wears it on her sleeve and has no problem yukking it up with young impressionable law students when discussing the matter - even when the cameras are rolling.

Of course, Sotomayor's liberal defenders might say it was just nervous laughter but judicial activism is no laughing matter... not coming from a judge... not under any circumstances.

The law is supposed to blind. Judges must be impartial in their decision-making in order for justice to prevail. The Courts are NOT where "policy is made."

If Judge Sotomayor wants to "make policy," then she should run for Congress, not serve a lifetime appointment on the highest court in the land.

Yes, conservatives in the Senate CAN stop the confirmation of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Contrary to what you may be hearing from the liberal media, stopping this nomination does not have to be a "long shot." It would only take a handful of Republicans who have the courage and the backbone to do the right thing.

But first, let's make one thing clear. Obama could have chosen any number of liberals to replace retiring Justice David Souter on the High Court. He could have chosen someone who, like Justice Souter, was simply left-of-center... a garden variety liberal... but he didn't.

Obama selected Judge Sotomayor because she's an extreme leftist... because he knows she will likely allow her liberal political biases to affect her decision making on the Court... because he knows she's already disposed to "legislate" a leftist agenda from the bench.

But more than that, Obama nominated Judge Sotomayor to send a message to conservatives in the Senate, and the subtext of the message could not be clearer: I dare you to do anything to oppose or stop this nomination.

And how conservatives react to Obama's nomination, will set the tone for everything to come over the next four years. If Obama can place Judge Sotomayor on the Supreme Court for a lifetime appointment without too much resistance, he'll know that he can do anything.

If conservatives don't draw a line in the sand and take the fight to Obama over this nomination, Obama will know that he will be able to steamroll his extreme agenda of government-backed corporate takeovers, socialized health care, wealth redistribution and the advancement of so-called "social justice" down the throats of the American people virtually unopposed.

Conservatives in the Senate must be made to understand what is really at stake here. They must be made to understand exactly WHY they must fight.

That means if the seven senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Jeff Sessions, Orrin Hatch, Charles Grassley, Jon Kyl, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn and Tom Coburn) stand together, they can prevent Judge Sotomayor's confirmation from being rammed though the Senate by the liberal majority.
