The Political Carnival — By GottaLaff Remember when George Bush was in the White House, and the Rushpublics said something about giving the president the benefit of the doubt on his nominees because he's, you know, the president?

Supreme Court pick: Preemptive strike
The Swamp — by James Oliphant Which front-runner for the vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court is favored by conservative activists? That's an easy question: None of them. The Judicial Confirmation Network, which pushes for conservative nominees for the high court, has posted critical web videos for three of the identified candidates to fill the slot opened by Justice David Souter's retirement. Should President Obama choose either U.S. Solicitor General Elena Kagan, Chicago federal appeals judge Diane Wood, or New York federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor, the vids outline the ...

Video: Conservative group targets Kagan, Wood, Sotomayor

Paul Krugman Wants To Know If The U.S. Will Turn Into The Next California-- Ask Ben Nelson
DownWithTyranny! — When I retired from the world's most wonderful job (running a record company), I was eager to move out of L.A. I sold my home and bought a wonderful old house outside of New York City. Just when I realized I had made an awful mistake-- and that I loved L.A. and wanted to live there and not back East-- the people who bought my L.A. house called me and said they couldn't complete the sale and that they were terribly sorry but that I should keep the deposit and find a new buyer. I couldn't wait to move back in. I used their deposit to build an indoor swimming pool and rented then sold the house in Pennsylvania. I've thanked my lucky stars every day ...

Sonia Sotomayor-- Obama Makes The Right Nomination
DownWithTyranny! — What a proud moment for America! There were tears in my eyes when President Obama announced that Sonia Sotomayor, a Bronx gal from a poor working class Puerto Rican family, would be the nation's first Supreme Court Justice of Hispanic heritage. What a great country we live in! Not only will she be the first Hispanic to serve on the Court and only the third female justice in the history of the Court, she will also be someone from a working family, not a some worthless legacy child of privilege. I'm so very, very proud today and I remember now why I voted for Barack Obama. She sounds like everyone I knew when I was growing up! A few weeks ago, when ...

Judicial Confirmation Network: Sotomayor Is A Discriminatory Activist
The Atlantic Politics Channel — Judicial Confirmation Network (JCN), the conservative group that last week launched a campaign against three of what it perceived to be President Obama's "favorites" for the Supreme Court, this morning condemned Obama's nomination of appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor. As it did in a web ad against Sotomayor last week, JCN characterized her as racially discriminatory (a reference to her rejection of Ricci vs. Destefano); the group also accused her of being a judicial activist who thinks courts should make law (perhaps a reference to Sotomayor's comment that the court of appeals is "where policy is made.") From JCN Counsel Wendy E. ...
