The Knives Come Out
By Thomas JeffreyArticle Posted: Tuesday May 26, 2009
President Obama announced today his nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to replace the retiring Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court. But not long before the echo had died from the microphones on the White House podium, the Right Wing attack machine was in full gear, led by former Republican presidential candidate turned media attention whore Mitt Romney.
Yes, Mitt Romney.
And while that sinks into your subconscious and haunts your dreams, HTSNBN chimed in as well, calling Ms. Sotomayor a “reverse racist” and a “hack”, having obviously analyzed all of her opinions over her 20-plus year career in order to make such a well-informed judgment call.
But perhaps the most surprising development with regards to Ms. Sotomayor’s announcement was the decidedly civil and respectful tone set by Michael Steele, chairman of the RNC, as well as other Congressional Republicans who have adopted a “wait and see” approach to her nomination.
This is just the beginning, folks. Get ready for wild ride.
