"And it's scaring away independents, too."

Liar. Dishonesty repels Independents. This doesn't scare away Independents. I think Obama is an utter failure for America but his health care plan is at least well-intentioned. Wrong time for it during a bad economy. As far as Roberts being an activist? I don't see that. Sotomayor is an activist. Going against party lines is good for America when it works. Like holding Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for the Fast and Furious debacle that resulted in the loss of many lives on both sides of the border, most notably Brian Terry. Will the health care plan work? Only time will tell. I'm tentatively behind it even though I think the timing is awful for Americans. Fear not, even if Romney is elected and repeals the law, some sort of version of health care reform will be in the works. Romney is far more civil and moderate than Obama could ever hope to be. Can't wait to vote for Romney this year.

You mean "I disagree," not "liar." People you disagree with aren't necessarily liars. The More You Know (tm)!

Paul Constant is a liar. I appreciate your attempt at correction.

Great.

Using the following criteria,
(1) Whether the judge's vote was in accord with his or her colleagues on the bench;

(2) How often the judge upheld the action of another branch of government, such as a statute or other governmental action;

(3) How often the judge deferred to the lower court or agency decision under review.

The folks at the Brennan Center found that
"in constitutional cases, Judge Sotomayor is solidly in the mainstream of the Second Circuit."

But of course, you could just call them "liars" too. Seems to work well for you.

As to the term since becoming a justice, she has indeed been a predictable liberal vote. But does that translate into activism? Since the majority of the court as of now seems set on overturning decades of legal precedent in favor of helping the political agenda of one party and advancing the goals of the upper economic strata of the electorate, being a liberal would probably be the opposite of being an activist.

John Roberts, on the other hand, I think just set the ball up for a jump shot the Republican congress will dunk next January, when they repeal the whole thing.

I'm with StJohnsRules on this one. Obammy is also a liar. Hold on, Michael Savage is telling what to think next... oh, and John Roberts has some weird medical condition and his medication is messing with his brain, making him vote liberal now. THAT is what I believe! What's that Rush? Oh... and this Romneycar... I mean, Obammycare is da biggest tax hike in 'merican history, dammit. THESE are the TRUTHS that I adhere to!! Some other guy on the radio told me to think that this decision was as bad as 9/11, so you guessed it: This 'preme court decision is as bad as that old 9/11! WHICH, btw was also Obammys fault. AND, Bin Laden ONLY got kilt cuz of the things BUSH DID.
See how it works? It's like opposite world, you just say the opposite of, not only the truth, but reality too. But I'm too dumb to care, cuz they just tap into my emotions and my feeble brain and hell, it all makes pretty good sense to me. Plus, Obammy is a Muslim and his birth certificate is a fake... gotta go!

Sotomayor has ties to La Raza and depending on which source you cite, she is either a former member or still an active member. La Raza means "the race" in Spanish. This is a notoriously bigoted group against white people in America and in North America, respectively. She is absolutely a radical activist and she won't ever have the courage to go against party lines. Obama knew the Latino vote would be important during the succeeding election so he had no problem appointing her despite her racist past. She was an essential appointment to his own activist approach to politics. Capt Amerigo is blatantly racist as he has shown in other posts on this site. As far as still blaming Bush? I thought Bush had a horrible end to his overall successful presidency. I would rate Bush at least 3x the leader that Obama could ever hope to be. Obama has lied to everyone on many occasions and has not even come close to living up to his campaign promises of "Hope and Change". We are now more divided than ever and radicals are trying to dictate to us all as opposed to leading us back to prosperity. Romney will prove himself a much better leader once he is elected. Can't wait to vote for him. On a final note, just a quick look at your "Brennan Center" I can conclude that it is a grandiose collection of liberal garbage. I would never take them seriously. Nice try, though.

See how stupid you are? I was pointing out how EXTREME and IGNORANT your party is. Oh, that's right, you're an "independent" who does nothing but bash the left. Yeah, you're REAL independent. The things I quoted, are ACTUAL things said by your party's talking heads. Are you kidding me? You excuse this kind of rhetoric? I mean, the funny thing is that they say this shit because they know they can, for you and your ilk will follow BLINDLY. Whatever they say, is what you think and what you stand for and it's really sad, StJohnsPoop. All you and your party really need is a hug... and a good ass-kicking. I mean, you're all overweight and stupid... all one would really have to do is yell, "hey look over there, free donuts!" and as soon as you turned to look... blamo! Out like a light, to dream of your corporate masters stroking your fat belly as they sing you a lullaby... "go to sleep little sheep, you have a hard day tomorrow, doing our bidding... sleep now, little sheep."

Huh. Must've struck a nerve with Captain Crazy. Dude....Brah.....cut down on the Cappuccinos and listen up. Liberals used to be cool. They used to stand for good things. Now YOUR party has become divisive and fucking batshit crazy. The mere fact that I even have to point that out is a testament to your inability to face reality. I have no corporate masters. I'm Independent in more ways than one. That is the benefit of hard work and staying in my hometown and gettin' er done! I don't follow anything blindly like liberals do. Or conservatives, for that matter. Fact is, most of the posters here have a horrible affliction of being betwetting liberals. Portland has zero conservative representation because the inmates are now running the asylum. Talk about fucking sheep. I'll still vote for Romney because of nasty little pricks like you because I figure, hey, if this pissed off liberal sycophant is mad at me for supporting Romney, I must be doing something right. Thanks for giving me one more reason. Now, back to NASCAR and my cousin Louann who is also my new bride. All in the name of "Keep Portland Weird?. Right, braaah?

And there you go again, never addressing anything your Republicant party says or does.
Man, you really are stoopid, brah.
And anyone who uses "gettin' er done" in a serious manner, which you did... oh man, what can I really say? I mean, you won't understand any of it, you'll just sit there with a stoopid look on yer face and mutter, "wha?"
"Gettin' er done"
Oh gawd.

My Republican Party? So I, like, own it and shit? Fuck yeah! I'm the new President, bitches! Here's what we're gonna do. Anyone caught being a radical will be subject to....lemme see here.....how about.... public prostate exams in the middle of Pioneer Square? Wait. We can't do that. That's where I plan on drilling oil for my cronies down in Texas. How about.... we make it Lownsdale Square? And the Occupy Movement will now be called "The Movement" which is what it amounts to. I'll rename Portland "Little Beirut and hand out handguns to street kids so they can get a leg up in the world. All about the kids, right? And it will be illegal not to carry proper documentation of citizenship or a bible at all times. Even when you're sleeping.. I will be watching you. All of you, fuckers. I mean it. I'll support Captain Amerigo as my immigration Czar (wait, nooooo) and Rich Bachelor as "All around goodness Ambassador". Damosa will be Chief of Police and Fruit Cup will be "Queen of the Bone Age" (I haven't forgot about you, homeslice). Humpty will be the new Galactic Supremeness of Entertainment. A fine appointment. Fuck yeah. I got this. St Johns Boy does GOOD!!!!

The both of you are fucking morons.

La Raza isn't a movement, except on right-wing sites that weirdoes read. It's how hispanic people refer to themselves. The translation used real time would be "the people." And I figured you'd have a hard time with the Brennan Center, but frankly only because you're a child who starts screaming, "LIARS! LIARS!" every time you have a problem with something which is always. I don't know why I fucking bother, except that every few days I have a few minutes, so I post something here. As opposed to you who sits here and filibusters every single point, 'cause you got no life, stupid.

Then again, you aren't any kind of legal scholar, either, Steed. That was a quote from a legal website maintained by people with an interest in legal precedent who happen to be former clerks of the justice who used to occupy the seat that Sonia Sotomayor currently holds. The criteria they used was pretty solid...

But it's not like you're going to hear that. You're too busy being childish and stupid. It's my own damn fault for engaging you, but as I've said before, I actually enjoy prodding borderline personalities into that place where they finally just divulge whatever insane bullshit they really believe, after which they tend to have some sort of breakdown. We've already seen you do it once, and the clock's ticking on the next one. You're wrong, but who fucking cares? You're also crazy, and nobody really cares what you think.

People do care what I think, Rich. I can tell by all the "dislikes" I get. Funny thing is, most people here in real life would agree with most of what I have to say. Since when do liberals think they can just dictate to people and those people will just accept it? Liberals have turned a very dark corner and frankly I'm sick of their lies and their shit. The radical tactics they now employ are an embarrassment to Portland, Oregon and America. Did you see the story on the squatters on Mississippi Ave where these fucking useless bums tricked an old black lady out of her home so they could squat there? That is what I am talking about. You think those fucking jerks were conservatives? At least conservatives work and pay their own way. And I'm anything but stupid. It's funny that liberals keep calling me stupid. It's because you people lack wisdom now. It has to be YOUR way of people can just fuck off as "bigots", "homophobes", "racists", "corporate monsters" etc etc etc. You all fucking hide behind political correctness. Say what you will about me but at least I have the balls to state my opinions, regardless of who agrees with me or not. I'm not here to have a popularity contest. If I wanted that, all I would have to do is drop trou. What I am interested in is bringing some sort of fucking sanity back to my city.

You are completely insane, StJohnsPoopyHead.
On old lady gets scammed and that's your evidence of Liberals turning a dark corner? What in the fuck are you talking about? Are you that delusional? Jesus H. Christ, you're an imbecile!
You don't have the balls to state 'your' opinions... just turn on Fox or listen to Rush and we can all see where you get 'your' opinions from. Hey, the old guy next door got robbed and punched in the face... damn Republicants at it again! You fucking idiot.
16
And StJohnsPoopyHead, you have such a love of negative attention (dislikes), I think this one was written about you:

http://www.portlandmercury.com/IAnonymousB…

One last time: you're a fucking idiot.
17
You must be one of the bums I was talking about. Listen CA, get a job and quit fucking conning old black women out of their homes, Holmes.
18
Actually Stjohnsfools, I just go through and downvote your crazy just like I do with DamosA's posts because you are both irrational dumbasses.

Don't let the fact that you get downvoted delude you into thinking people actually and care about read the shit you spew.

Fixed:

Re: "She absolutely is a radical activist and won't ever have the courage to go against party lines."

Um...in terms of logic, the two statements that comprise this sentence are mutually exclusive. One or the other can be true, but not both.

Please wait...
