Questions fron Tom Coburn to Sotomayor
« on: July 15, 2009, 03:08:37 PM »

Read how Sotomayor responded to Sen Coburns of Oklahoma, about our right to self- defense!!!


Gun Owners of America E-Mail Alert

Wednesday, July 15, 2009

The U.S. Senate must vote NO on Judge Sonia Sotomayor!

In defending her decision that the states could enact any form of gun control they wished -- with absolutely no regard to the Second Amendment -- Judge Sonya Sotomayor has developed a new love for Nineteenth Century court opinions.

Republican Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma asked her, point blank, "Is there a constitutional right to self-defense?"  Sotomayor said that was an "abstract question" and that she couldn't think of a Supreme Court case that addressed that issue.

Coburn said he didn't want a legal treatise on what Supreme Court holdings have said, rather, he wanted her own personal opinion.  Sotomayor would not answer the question, although when pressed, she equated self-defense with vigilantism!

the right/left yardstick is a French Revolution-born human measure. It reflects the political spectrum, which is determined by the people’s range of beliefs. Christians, however (and everyone, in fact), should make Truth their yardstick. This inerrant guide doesn’t compromise and build consensus, either; it’s not a politician. It dictates where reality lies. And in a civilization claiming 2+2=5, it’s with the “extremist” who insists it’s 4. For God’s realism so often is man’s radicalism.

Well I"m shocked!  A liberal that doesn't believe in the Second Amendment.

None of this made it into my local paper. In fact, most of the coverage in the Minneapolist Star Tribune was on happy talk between Sotomayor, Klobuchar, and Franken. One small paragraph in the middle of the article was about republican concerns. In fact, there was more about Perry Mason than there was about republican opposition.

Reminds me of Chicago, one of the most anti gun cities of the country with the Mayor in full support of the ban. I can see why he is not worried about his own hide. His personal body guard just re-captured an escaped convict and held him a GUNPOINT   til the cops arrived.
