Sotomayor Another Catholic on the Supreme Court
Catholic League president Bill Donohue reacts to President Obama’s choice of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court:
"When John Roberts was nominated to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, left-wingers accused President Bush of “Playing the Catholic card.” When Samuel Alito was selected by Bush, these same critics sounded the alarms over the prospect of a “majority” of the Supreme Court justices being Catholic. One would think that the selection of yet another Catholic to sit on the high court would drive these folks right over the edge. But for some reason, Sotomayor’s Catholic credentials don’t seem to matter. Is that because she is seen as reliably liberal?..."
Novak Fed Up with Vatican Newspaper: "We asked Rome for Bread they Give us Stones"
A recent string of "star struck teenage" articles praising...[Baraq Hussein] Obama by the Vatican daily newspaper is scandalizing Catholics around the world, according to a prominent American conservative commentator. Michael Novak, a US Catholic writer, philosopher and diplomat, wrote on the website of the National Review magazine today that the editors of L'Osservatore Romano have failed to grasp either "the full threat Obama poses for the American Catholic conscience" or the "immense scandal" they are causing the Church by praising him...
[IF I had a subscription to L'Osservatore Romano, I would have cancelled it by now...praising a spawn of Satan is beyond scandalous!]

Sotomayor Cases Reviewed by the Supreme Court
Note: this is NOT a selection of cases. This is the totality of her decisions reviewed by SCOTUS. The only time she was affirmed was with a caveat unanimously rejecting her reasoning. Sounds like we have a brilliant legal mind here...(sarcasm off)
Axelrod: Obama Wants Sotomayor To "Adapt" Laws To A "Modern Context"

Narcissus And Echo: Obama And The Mainstream Media
It is troubling that our [Usurper] is a pathological narcissist caught up in the thought patterns of Darwin, Marx, and Alinsky. Even more troubling is the fact that the Mainstream Media (MSM), suffering from an Obama-inspired narcosis, shirks its duty, refusing to publish or even explore any aspect of Obama's dark side. There is room for much optimism, however. If the ancient story of Narcissus and Echo plays itself out as Ovid recorded it, and Obama and the MSM are their contemporary counterparts, both will fade away in the not too distant future...
