ZERO Chooses Sonia Sotomayor For Supreme Court
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” — Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in her Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California (Berkeley) School of Law in 2001
Sounds tad racists to me, but hey we can always use a racists on the Supreme Court.
It's a victory for Hispanic women, checked that box. Hey Hispanic poor lady, you empathetic, yeah, you're in. She is from the school of "Legal Realism", in case you have never heard of that.
Here is the oath: According to Title 28, Chapter I, Part 453 of the United States Code, each Supreme Court Justice takes the following oath:
"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God."
Word empathy not in there --- That's what she reads and then does what she wants. Rule of law, nope, whatever.
That's her, saying "court is where policy is made". The empathy pick. Courts interpret laws Ms Sonia, they don't make policy. You do have a J.D. degree, don't you?
So what judicial temperance, great works while on the judiciary, distinguishes this Hispanic poor lady, Harvard Yale graduate, to be a member of the U.S. Suprme Court? Yes.

It's Everybody's Business
Two interesting segments -- in part 2 are the fist-and-dagger representation of what America’s “hero” FDR actually did to this country during WWII (segment starts at 4:57), and an almost Nostradamus like prediction of Obama’s rise to power (segment starts at 7:47).
We salute our vetranson this very special Memorial Day. A look at what it all means.

Funniest Car Review -- Ever
Jobless Claims Rise, As the Recovery Continues -- Huh ?
Initial jobless claims fell by 12,000 to 631,000 in the week ended May 16, from a revised 643,000 the prior week that was higher than initially estimated, the Labor Department said today in Washington. The total number of people collecting benefits rose to 6.66 million, a record reading for a 16th straight week, and a sign companies are still not hiring.
Job losses are likely to continue after Chrysler LLC filed for bankruptcy and General Motors Corp. may follow suit and terminate 1,100 U.S. dealers. The auto slump threatens to slow any recovery from the deepest recession in half a century and keep pushing unemployment higher.
``Layoffs associated with Chrysler's bankruptcy were likely the main factor'' behind the elevated claims levels, Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Economy.com in West Chester, Pennsylvania, said before the report. ``Troubles in domestic auto manufacturing could push claims even higher over the next several weeks.''
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecast claims would drop to 625,000 from the 637,000 initially reported for the prior week, according to median of 42 estimate. Projections ranged from 585,000 to 675,000.
The four-week moving average of initial claims, a less volatile measure, decreased to 628,500 from 632,000. Feel better now?

Sarahcuda On The Prowl
In a statement criticizing the president over General Motors' plan to sell its healthy assets to the federal government following bankruptcy, the Republican governor singled out Steele as a counterbalance to the president.
"We have another voice in Washington, DC – a man who understands what Alaskans believe: less centralized government control, restrained budgets, more opportunity for development, and fewer taxes,"Palin said.
"Today, we have a friend in RNC Chairman Michael Steele and his bold and courageous speech defines his leadership goals that will guide us all through this most difficult time for our nation."Speaking to an RNC meeting Tuesday in Maryland, Steele vowed to confront the president more aggressively.

EPA Holding a Smoking Gun Memo
"This is a smoking gun, saying that your findings were political, not scientific" - Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.)
Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) today exposed a "smoking gun" White House memo to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The memo warns that regulation of small CO2 emitters will have "serious economic consequences" for businesses and the overall economy.
Barrasso produced the memo while questioning EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson during the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee budget hearing.
"I received a memo this morning, that's marked ‘Deliberative: Attorney-Client Privilege'. In this memo Counsel for the White House repeatedly, repeatedly suggests a lack of scientific support for this proposed finding. This is a smoking gun, saying that your findings were political and not scientific", Barrasso said.
The EPA has failed to release the memo and has ignored the advice.
No scientific support for your conclusions ... MEMO HERE

When 8.9% Unemployment Starts Sounding Good

The U.S. economy lost a less-than-expected 539,000 jobs in April and unemployment jumped to 8.9%, according to the Labor Department.
The fact that it is the highest since 1983, well ... So will the market go up on the news that only 539,000 people lost their jobs in April? Or will the numbers be revised when no one is looking next month.
Oh really -- The hype continues. Isn't it all about 'sounding good'. There are now about 6.4 million unemployed workers.
Most of the improvement came from the government hiring temporary workers for the White House run census. As I understand it, the voter fraud group ACORN is participating in the census.
Update: The Wall Street Journal made an this point in its coverage of this jobs report:
Still, even though the decline was the smallest in six months, a good deal of the improvement came from temporary government hiring in advance of next year's Census.
How many media outlets will report that 72,000 government jobs were added to the total?

Glenn Beck Exposes ACORN Voter Fraud
Miklos Zagoni explains Miskolczi's theory
From Jennifer Morahasey:
OUR understanding of the natural world does not progress through the straight forward accumulation of facts because most scientists tend to gravitate to the established popular consensus also known as the established paradigm. Thomas Kuhn describes the development of scientific paradigms as comprising three stages: prescience, normal science and revolutionary science when there is a crisis in the current consensus. When it comes to the science of climate change, we are probably already in the revolution state. In particular there is growing concern that some of the physics underpinning the IPCC climate models may be flawed. The work of Ferenc Miskolczi is a case in point.
Some years ago this Hungarian physicist, then working for NASA, discovered a flaw in an equation used in the current climate models discovered a flaw in how those constructing the IPCC climate models deal with the issue of the atmosphere’s boundary conditions. In order to progress this research Dr Miskolczi eventually resigned from NASA claiming his supervisors at NASA tried to suppress discussion and publication of his findings which have since been published in IDŐJÁRÁS, The Quarterly Journal of the Hungarian Meteorological Service.
In essence Dr Miskolczi showed that the solution to a differential equation for the greenhouse effect developed in 1922 by Arthur Milne, and central to the current paradigm, wrongly assumed an infinitely thick atmosphere. In re-solving this equation a new term and also a new law of physics have been proposed setting an upper limit to the greenhouse effect. Dr Miskolczi’s theory indicates that any warming from elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide will eventually be offset by a change in atmospheric moisture content.
The idea that water vapour is a negative rather than positive feedback is consistent with the findings of other climate scientists undertaking independent research that is also challenging the current paradigm, for example the work of Dr Roy Spencer.
The importance of the hydrological cycle including water vapour and cloud cover, and how their impacts on the global energy budget should be modelled, have been issues for other climate scientists critical of the current paradigm including Roy Spencer from the University of Alabama, Huntsville, and Henrik Svensmark from the Danish National Space Centre.READ THE REST.

Dems New Culture Of Corruption
SOME days you have to ask yourself, "My God, what if these people were Republicans?"Has the new federal government become the mob from Chicago? Yes, I think they have.
Democrats took back Congress in 2006 and the presidency in 2008 in no small part because of their ability to bang their spoons on their high chairs about what they called the Republican "culture of corruption." To be fair, the GOP did have its legitimate embarrassments. California Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham and lobbyist Jack Abramoff were fair game. So was Rep. Mark Foley, the twisted Florida lawmaker who allegedly wanted male congressional pages cleaned, perfumed and brought to his tent, as it were.
Of course, it wasn't as if Democrats were without sin. Louisiana Rep. William Jefferson was indicted on fraud, bribery and corruption charges in 2007, after an investigation unearthed, among other things, $90,000 in his freezer. Then-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer was busted in a prostitution scandal.
But that's all yesterday's news. In the here and now, President Obama, who vowed he'd provide a transparent administration staffed with disinterested public servants, appointed an admitted tax cheat to run the Treasury Department -- and he's hardly the only one.
