The Supreme Court high hurdles contest

Wow, I must have dozed off for a while!

But, now that I have awakened I have noticed the Barack Obama is still the President.

Guess you just never know. Is it 2012 yet? Did I miss an election? What is going on here?

Obama is still the President, North Korea is rattling it’s swords, the US Army is still fighting in the Middle East, the economy is sluggish, the President has nominated an inexperienced woman for the Supreme Court, America is still divided between liberals and conservatives.

I could swear that I woke up and George Bush is still the President.

Somebody help me here, what is going on?

Oh yeah! That’s it, paint our roofs white!

Ok, I guess Obama is the President.

Gulliver didn’t have it this bad!

Not all “compelling personal stories” are equal

Since when did securing a Supreme Court seat become a high hurdles contest? The White House and Democrats have turned Second Circuit judge Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination into a personal Olympics event. Pay no attention to her jurisprudence. She grew up in a Bronx public housing project. She was diagnosed with childhood diabetes at 8. Her father died a year later.

And oh, by the way, did you hear that she was poor?

It’s a “compelling personal story,” as we heard 20,956 times on Tuesday. Sotomayor’s a “real” person. Why, she even read Nancy Drew as a young girl, President Obama told us. She’s “faced down barriers, overcome the odds and lived out the American dream that brought her parents here so long ago,” Obama said.
