No. If I could, she would have my vote. You don’t sit there _in your own shit_, and tell someone else to wipe their ass! Yeah, maybe she DID make some bad decisions and write some opinions which were taken wrong, but she’s a JUDGE fer Christ’s sake! She deserves the seat. Said and done.

> [@Captain\_Carrot](#): > > [One take on the hearings so far](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/16/opinion/16collins.html?_r=3&ref=opinion). You could have cut and pasted and told me it was a transcript and I probably wouldn’t have figured it out for a while. 😃 I have absolutely no problem with the Senate grilling Sotomayor. Once she’s in, she’s in, so asking her lots of questions she won’t give a straight answer to is a more worthwhile exercise than most other things they’d be doing. Declaring August to be National Diverticulitis Awareness Month, probably. Anyway, it’s traditional. The President picks the craziest fucker he thinks will sneak through, and Congress tries to bore the nominee into saying something that will freak out voters. “So, Judge Sotomayor, do you consider it a great honor to represent the Hispanic community and pederasts?” ---

I read the thread title and began to wonder if Jesus Christ could get a seat on the Supreme Court. He did have a period in his past when he hung out with a bad crowd. SSG Schwartz ---

According to Bevis & Butthead, they’re _Hispandex_, okay? 😉 Anyway, she \*still \* gets my vote (if I had one). Y’all are missing the _point_! Those assholes grilling her are the same assholes who are gonna get caught later on for who knows what? Fargin’ Dib-Wibblers! Oughta shoot 'em all! [crotchety old man] “We didn’t **have** judges when I was a boah! We just strung 'em up, and let hist’ry sort it out! And we LIKED it!” [/crotchety old man] I love you little shits! I just come in here to let y’all know I still have half a brain! 😉 No. Enough is enough, and as Popeye once said: “Enough is **TOO MUCH!** ” ---

**Shinola** was/is a brand of shoe polish, I think, but it may also be a product to straighten curly hair with. Anyway, I think the expression “You don’t know shit from Shinola” might have come from the 30’s. Quasi ---
