She can spin it all she wants, this is what she actually said – as opposed to what she is now trying to say that she said, or meant.

As a white male, and father of an 11 year old white male, I seriously doubt either of us would ever get a fair hearing in front of this woman.

She’s a joke, but unfortunately she’s a joke that is going to be put on the USSC by the democrat party.

They have a lock on the vote and don’t need a single republican vote to put her there. She is definitely not the best and brightest legal mind that was available for this position, and this is nothing more than racial politics at it’s worst.

Regarding nyomythus bringing up Palin in this thread (what’s up with that?!?! anyway….) the former Alaskan governor is now charged with yet another ethics charge even as she prepares to leave office.

The charge in question?

“In her complaint, Andree McLeod said that two days before Palin was named John McCain’s running mate, she signed travel documents that stated “conclusion of state business.” A similar document soon after the election stated “return to duty status.

McLeod said Palin’s signature on the documents demonstrated a “willingness to forgo her duties as governor” to travel on the national campaign. She added that she filed the complaint now only because she was waiting for a final document from the state in response to a public records request.

McLeod said that given that temporary absence, Palin should have turned over the governor’s responsibilities to Parnell as required by the state constitution.”

Funny, I don’t see similar ethics complaints against either Obonga or Hillary for far worse excesses as they ran during the primaries. Obonga spent more time running for president than he did acting as senator!

Anyway, as Palin noted:

First, there actually is no constitutional requirement that the governor turn over power when they leave the state.

Second, this charge is extremely similar to a previous ethics charge that had been filed earlier, and dismissed already.

There is a substantial amount of money required to defend against such charges, and I don’t blame Palin for deciding against putting her family in poverty just to say she stayed in the kitchen and could take the heat.

“I want to state up front, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judging…”

My guess is she was trying to entertain the academic crowd?

Baklava, keep Palin topic on Palin threads. I posted my response to that again there.

The strong is the government Obama.

I was impressed with that statement because I view the law in much the same way. The problem I had is that when I examined Judge Roberts’ record and history of public service, it is my personal estimation that he has far more often used his formidable skills on behalf of the strong in opposition to the weak. In his work in the White House and the Solicitor General’s Office, he seemed to have consistently sided with those who were dismissive of efforts to eradicate the remnants of racial discrimination in our political process. In these same positions, he seemed dismissive of the concerns that it is harder to make it in this world and in this economy when you are a woman rather than a man.

Now that the dust has cleared, the allegations regarding the nefarious effects of Sarah Palin’s religious beliefs have pretty much been debunked.

After glowing praise of Robert’s Obamas says this

The bottom line is this: I will be voting against John Roberts’ nomination. I do so with considerable reticence. I hope that I am wrong. I hope that this reticence on my part proves unjustified and that Judge Roberts will show himself to not only be an outstanding legal thinker but also someone who upholds the Court’s historic role as a check on the majoritarian impulses of the executive branch and the legislative branch. I hope that he will recognize who the weak are and who the strong are in our society. I hope that his jurisprudence is one that stands up to the bullies of all ideological stripes.

Her stance of reducing the state’s payroll of 30,000 positions will be met with vitriol and….

…. inaccurate accusations by the likes of incurious Nyom’s…
