The Politics of Personal Destruction
The Clintons complained about them when they held the highest office in the land.
If they were wrong then, then aren't they even more wrong when aimed at a private citizen?
What a bunch of drooling jackals Democrats are.
Sotomayor can't stand on the merits, so they target a firefighter Sotomayor ruled against... and for which Sotomayor was smacked around by the Supreme Court.
Why? Because Ricci was right.
People for the American Way, which, by the way, has America-hating actor Alec Baldwin on its board of directors, has become a gang of character-assassin thugs.

If they were wrong then, then aren't they even more wrong when aimed at a private citizen?
Supporters of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor are quietly targeting the Connecticut firefighter who's at the center of Sotomayor's most controversial ruling.
On the eve of Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearing, her advocates have been urging journalists to scrutinize what one called the "troubled and litigious work history" of firefighter Frank Ricci.

Supreme Court Bitchslaps Obama's Nominee
No surprise. Really, the only suprise to me is that it was even close.
What's more, as PowerLine observes, when Sotomayor issued her ruling, she devoted only one paragraph to the merits of the case. Says Paul Mirengoff:
In other words, Sotomayor didn't even put forth a minimal effort to understand the merits and build a case for her conclusions, based on precedent and law.
Congratulations, Mr. President. You've appointed a divisive racialist and racist who got her biggest case exactly wrong.
Good going.

What's more, as PowerLine observes, when Sotomayor issued her ruling, she devoted only one paragraph to the merits of the case. Says Paul Mirengoff:
But this much is clear: the Court devoted 93 pages to a matter that Judge Sotomayor tried to dispose of in a summary order. Moreover, according to Ed Whelan, not a single Justice thought that Judge Sotomayor acted correctly in granting summary judgment for the City of New Haven.
