Sotomayor Character Revealed

There was nothing to be proud of as the leaders of the GOP focused energy on the fact that the Obama Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, belonged to "an elite all women's club" known as Belizean Grove. Of all the political positions and legal philosophical issues that Republican Senators could have highlighted in opposing this Obama choice to serve for life on the highest court of the land, this had to be among the most shallow. Unless it could be shown that Belizean Grove was in some way in conspiracy with or backing al-Qaida, her membership in this organization had no more significance than that of any male Supreme Court Judge being on an all male softball team in an all male softball league.

Tuesday and Wednesday of this week local and national news media positively reported on Sotomayor's defense of her Belizean Grove membership. Obama was winning as real issues concerning his nominee were ignored. Then on Friday Sotomayor acted and exposed characteristics that must disqualify her as potential member of the Supreme Court.

With thin coverage from national news media, Sonia Sotomayor announced her resignation from Belizean Grove. She explained that membership in this group violated no element of judicial ethics and she had resigned so as not to have this issue "distract anyone from my qualifications and record." In other words, Sotomayor was turning her back on a group of people she had associated with for years; was pretending that this part of her life never existed; and was going to do anything necessary to secure Senate approval for a seat on the United States Supreme Court. This is nothing more than deja vu as the Obama handlers, now controlling Sotomayor, implement a repeat of the successful Obama election strategy of disavowal (Rev. Wright); pretend it never happened (Acorn and other radical groups involvement); and do what is necessary to win including lying (Guantanamo closure, quick exit from Iraq and no new taxes on the middle class).

Particularly as to Sotomayor, our nation cannot have a member of the Supreme Court so weak of character that a feeble attack, like that of an almost powerless group of Republican Senators, causes her to reverse her position; so shallow of conviction that loyalty of a long standing nature is in an instant renounced; so ego driven that all acts are considered valid in pursuit of her Supreme Court goal; and so lacking in confidence that she will not allow her record to be viewed unaltered. All the empathy in the world cannot overcome these character flaws.

In reality, Sonia Sotomayor will be the next member of the United States Supreme Court. Obama will not allow a defeat to occur and the GOP is too weak to effectively oppose it. The POLITICAL URGENCY is to pray for the continued health and mental competency of the conservative majority of the Court until at least after the elections of 2012 when Obama becomes a one term President.
