Sotomayor has a TERRIBLE record as a Circuit Court judge, of being REVERSED by the U.S. Supreme Court over and over again.
In fact, OVER HALF of her decisions as a Court of Appeals judge have been STRUCK DOWN!
You read that right: OVER HALF of Judge Sotomayor’s decisions as a Circuit Court judge that
have come up for review have been REJECTED -- OVERRULED -- STRUCK DOWN by the United State Supreme Court!
Now, they’ve reversed Sotomayor AGAIN!
Yesterday, the Supreme Court reversed Sotomayor’s decision in the case Ricci v.
DeStefano. In that case, she approved of the city of New Haven's racial quota system and its decision to deny 18
firefighters their earned promotions -- based on their skin color. Her ruling even provoked her own colleague, Judge Jose Cabranes (a fellow
Clinton appointee), to object to the issued opinion that contained “no reference whatsoever to the constitutional issues at the
core of this case!”
Judge Sotomayor has already proven her bias, both before and after her time on the bench. For 12
years, she was one of the most active board members of the “Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund,” where she
played an active role in their aggressive stances on issues affecting Hispanics like police brutality, the death penalty and voting rights. According
to the New York Times, “One of the legal defense fund’s most important suits charged that a Police Department promotional exam
discriminated against minority candidates. It was filed on behalf of the “Hispanic Society of the New York Police.” The exams, the group
charged, did not really measure the ability to perform in a more senior position, and were yielding “unfair “results: Too many
whites were doing well, and too many Hispanics and African-Americans were not.”
Apparently, two decades later, the now-Judge Sotomayor was still whistling the same tune.
But the U.S. Supreme Court has made it clear that it’s the wrong tune.
If the highest court in the land says this woman is wrong, HOW CAN THE U.S. SENATE SAY SHE IS
RIGHT?
She MUST be stopped… But Senate Republicans are ready to let her pass,
unless we’re able to change that this week.

Of course, President Barack Obama has the Constitutional right to nominate whomever he wants to
-- but the woman he has nominated is the most radical leftist he could have picked.
We MUST remind them of exactly who this woman is, and what she
believes:
-
She is a far-left judicial activist. Just four years ago, when speaking at Duke Law School, Judge Sotomayor “let slip” what is probably the most
famous quote of her career: responding to a question on the pros and cons of different types of judicial clerkships, she let her TRUE beliefs slip
out: she stated that the court “is where policy is made!” She tried to correct her slip, by joking that “I know
this is on tape and I should never say that, because we don’t ‘make law,’ I know, I know.” In other words, she made it clear
that she believes judges DO MAKE LAW!
-
At a symposium sponsored by the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal in October 2001, Sotomayor
stated, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion
than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” That’s right -- Judge Sotomayor said that HER experience as a “wise
Latina woman” would make her a better judge than a white man would be. In fact, she has gone even further to say, “Whether born from
experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences... our gender and national origins may and will make a
difference in our judging.” And as if that wasn’t enough to prove her race-based (and gender-based) bias on the bench,
that’s not all she said: “I further accept that our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions…
enough people of color in enough cases, will make a difference in the process of judging.”
-
Judge Sotomayor is a member of the pro-illegal immigration group
LA RAZA. The prestigious American Bar Association has listed Sotomayor as a member of the National Council of La Raza,
“a group that's promoted driver's licenses for illegal aliens, amnesty programs, and no immigration law enforcement by local and state
police.” “La Raza” means “the race”… and is a group that also has connections to organizations
that advocate the separation of several southwestern states from the rest of America! Can you imagine if a Republican nominated a Caucasian
judge for the Supreme Court, who was a member of a group called THE RACE that advocated government programs and actions favorable
only to white people?
-
Judge Sotomayor does NOT believe in the individual Second Amendment right
to “keep and bear arms.” In Maloney v. Cuomo, she stated that the Second Amendment applies only to limitations sought by
the federal government, not to those imposed by state or local governments. In fact, she refuses to say the Second Amendment protects a
fundamental right that applies to all Americans, which raises serious questions about her view of the Bill of Rights. In a 2004 decision, U.S. v.
Sanchez-Villar, Judge Sotomayor even ruled that “the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right.”
-
Judge Sotomayor is hostile to private property rights. She served as the
senior judge on the 2006 case, Didden v. Village of Port Chester, where the government used its constitutionally limited power of "eminent
domain" to force one private owner to turn over land (for a fee) to give it to a private developer -- a case which respected University of
Chicago law professor Richard Epstein described as "about as naked an abuse of government power as could be imagined." Her ruling might be the
worst violation of property rights ever approved by a federal appeals court. This anti-property rights decision was just part of a
pattern of such decisions by Sotomayor, including Brody v. Village of Port Chester and In re St. Johnsbury Trucking
Co.
-
Judge Sotomayor is a pro-abortion judicial activist. During a November,
2007 debate with Democratic primary candidates, Obama confirmed he would only back pro-abortion Supreme Court picks, saying, "I would not appoint
somebody who doesn't believe in the right to privacy." In an interview on October 30, 2007, with NBC News, Barack Obama repeated the pledge he made
throughout the campaign indicating that he would only appoint judges to the Supreme Court who support unlimited abortions, in what is a clear
pro-abortion litmus test for federal justices. The Washington Post reports that the Obama White House is delivering strong assurances
“that the Supreme Court nominee agrees with President Obama's belief in constitutional protections for a woman's right to the
procedure [abortion].” White House press secretary Robert Gibbs indicated that the White House is sure she agrees
with the “constitutional underpinnings of Roe v. Wade,” which 36 years ago struck down any and all restrictions on the
“right” to an unlimited access to abortion during all nine months of pregnancy.
-
Judge Sotomayor supports giving Statehood to Puerto Rico -- under biased
conditions. She wrote an article in the 1979 Yale Law Journal that made an extravagant case for Puerto Rican statehood based on
terms of accession that are more favorable to Puerto Rico than any other state in the Union, despite the fact that no other state enjoys similar
rights and despite over two centuries of federal practice that provide for states to enter the Union “on an equal footing with the original
States in all respects whatever.” Law professor Roger Alford called it an “affirmative action plan for Puerto Rico”
statehood.
-
Judge Sotomayor supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are still
serving time in prison. In Hayden v Pataki, a 2006 case in the 2nd Circuit, ex-felon Joseph "Jazz" Hayden brought a challenge under
the Voting Rights Act against New York's law banning ex-felons from voting. Sotomayor supported the challenge, saying that the Voting Rights Act
"applies to all 'voting qualifications,'" and -- in her view -- the state law "disqualifies a group of people from voting." In other words: the Voting
Rights Act can be used to force states to allow voting by currently imprisoned felons -- even though the 14th Amendment
specifically allows states to deny the vote to those convicted of crimes.
THAT is who Senate Republicans are
allowing to be crammed down our throats -- unless we can FORCE them to STOP the Democrats NOW!

Barack Obama threatened during the presidential campaign to nominate liberal judicial activists who would push their left-wing policy
preferences, instead of simply applying the law in a neutral manner. In selecting Sonia Sotomayor as his Supreme Court nominee,
President Obama has carried out his threat and picked the most extreme nominee possible!
After Justice Souter announced that he would be retiring, Obama stated that he wanted his pick
for the highest court in the land to have “empathy” and not someone who’s about some “abstract legal theory.” He wanted
someone who is going to be “compassionate” in deciding cases, and implied that his pick should not just stick to the rules handed down to
us by the founding fathers. There’s only one problem: that’s what the Supreme Court IS about!
The real problem we face is this: what the far left have not been able to pass legislatively --
because the American people simply DO NOT support a far-left agenda -- they want to impose on the American people through the courts.
THAT is why Obama has nominated Sotomayor: to push the Supreme Court further and further left, to advance that liberal
agenda.
As proof, you only have to look at what liberals feel about her: Sotomayor is a
favorite of far left special interest groups. In addition to her record as a hard left judicial activist,
Sotomayor has been recommended for the Supreme Court by none other than Nan Aron of the VERY liberal “Alliance for Justice,” who stated in
a 2004 memo to the Senate Judiciary Committee that Sotomayor had “been through an initial vetting and fit into the criteria that WE
believe should be the standard for any Supreme Court justice.”
BUT… the “Alliance for Justice” believes that the Supreme Court should be all
about legislating from the bench and imposing that far-left agenda on the American people! And THAT is who Barack Obama
has nominated to serve the rest of her life on the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition to her record as a hard left judicial
activist, the National Abortion Rights Action League (NARAL) praised her “distinguished record of professional
accomplishments,” while the radically pro-abortion National Organization for Women (NOW) said in a press release, “This morning we will
celebrate, and this afternoon NOW will launch our ‘Confirm Her’ campaign to ensure the swift confirmation of the next Supreme Court
Justice.” The president of Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of “abortion services” in the country, called Sotomayor’s
appointment “historic.”
Obviously, the issue of abortion isn’t the only trouble with Barack Obama’s choice
for the U.S. Supreme Court. The most serious problem is the one that has just been pointed out AGAIN:
If the U.S. Supreme Court says this woman is wrong, HOW CAN THE U.S. SENATE
SAY SHE IS RIGHT?
The answer is, they should NOT. But it’s up to US -- YOU AND ME -- to make that LOUD
AND CLEAR to them -- and we only have this coming week to do that!

Senate Democrats are realizing that they may not have enough votes to stop a filibuster of
Sotomayor’s confirmation -- so they’ve move up the time for her hearings to start, to July 13th! Time is short… but
our plan for stopping this disastrous nomination in its tracks, by targeting all 40 Senate Republicans while
they’re in their home states for the holiday recess, is working!
TAKE ACTION: It’s simply insane for the Senate
Democrats to rush a vote on Judge Sotomayor’s nomination. She’s been on one court or another for 17 years; she has an extensive
record, so it takes a while to go through 3,600 cases. Her questionnaire is still incomplete -- among other deficiencies, she has not
provided materials from seventeen cases she handled as a prosecutor. Nor has she provided materials from any appellate cases she handled. And
she has not provided materials from over 100 speeches she has given.
Look at it this way: the Judiciary Committee had to review an average of six cases per day in order to be prepared for Judge John
Roberts’ confirmation hearings. Six cases a day. The committee will now have to review an average of 76 cases -- 76
cases -- per day in order to be ready by the July 13th start of the Sotomayor hearing.
Knowing that Judge Sonia Sotomayor is a supporter of pro-illegal immigration groups, that
she’s a far-left judicial activist, that she does NOT believe in the individual Second Amendment right to “keep and
bear arms,” that she is hostile to private property rights, that’s she’s an extreme pro-abortionist, that she supports
giving favorable statehood to Puerto Rico, that she supports giving voting rights to convicted felons still serving time, that she
is intellectually unqualified to serve on the Supreme Court, and that people on the left AND the right feel the same way… How can we
possibly just sit by and let Barack Obama impact this Court for YEARS to come, in the worst possible way?
The answer is, we CAN’T. So we’ve launched our all-out
blitz to ensure that this nominee is NOT crammed down our throats without a fight -- otherwise, Obama will be
emboldened to nominate someone even worse next time!

It’s already working! This week, all of the Senators returned to their home states for the Independence Day holiday break. NOW is when they are
forced to actually LISTEN to their constituents for a change -- they aren’t safely tucked inside the Washington, D.C.
“bubble,” but have to face YOU AND ME, the ones who VOTE to decide whether they get to keep their
jobs.
And we’ve been taking advantage of this opportunity! Already, our members
have sent 11,880 FAXES directly to the home offices of every single Republican Senator! Then yesterday, we gave you
their home office phone numbers, so you could call and
demand a September vote instead of July -- and they’re getting HUNDREDS of calls in every office! They’re starting to get the message --
but they need to hear it even louder, that we could actually WIN on this vote, IF THEY STICK
TOGETHER and force the Democrats NOT to rush the hearings and vote!
Here’s exactly how we can win: the Democrats have proven in recent years that
judicial nominations can’t move forward unless there is at least a 60-vote majority willing to cut off all debate on the
nomination. Right now, the Republicans only have 40 votes… BUT, the Democrats don’t actually HAVE the remaining 60 votes on their
side!
Two key Senators -- 77-year-old Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and 91-year-old Robert Byrd (D-WV), the
longest-serving members in the Senate -- are each battling illnesses: Kennedy a brain tumor and Byrd a staph infection. It’s unclear when either
will make a full-time return to the Senate. PLUS, Minnesota is still missing its second Senator: radical liberal Al Franken is still in court,
fighting to be seated after his race against Norm Coleman came down to just a few votes.
Byrd has been hospitalized periodically for various ailments, and he lost his gavel running the Appropriations Committee because of his
increasingly frail condition. Kennedy has made rare visits to Capitol Hill since a brain tumor was discovered in May 2008, and he suffered a seizure
in the Capitol during a luncheon following Obama’s Inauguration as president in January.
All of this means that Democrats really have just a 57-40 majority -- meaning that, on any issue
INCLUDING A VOTE ON SOTOMAYOR, the GOP can actually lose two Republican votes and still deny the Democrats the votes needed to
stop a filibuster!
WE MUST MAKE SURE EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN STANDS UP AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS ON THIS
VOTE!
If we can force the GOP Senators to at least demand a full and in-depth investigation and
debate over Sotomayor’s nomination, then we have a chance to STOP it as more and more information comes out about how radical and
out-of-the-mainstream her far-left views really are.
That’s why we set up our website to enable you to send "Blast Faxes" to the HOME STATE
OFFICES of every single Republican U.S. Senator AT ONCE, urging that they REJECT any attempt by the Democrat majority to ram through
a rushed vote on Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation!
For about what it would cost you in time and telephone charges, you can send Blast
Faxes to every single GOP Senator’s home state office, DEMANDING that they AT LEAST not allow her nomination to be rushed
through and that her out-of-the-mainstream, far-left ideological beliefs be examined thoroughly. The American people deserve no
less.
We need to attack this nomination on all fronts -- so we’ve set up our Blast Fax
system to do just that!

We’re revealing a bold new step every single day this week, in our Action
Plan against Barack Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor. Please, take action right away to STOP this far-left-wing
judicial activist from being confirmed to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court!
Sincerely,
 William Greene,
President RightMarch.com PAC
P.S. As over eleven
thousand faxes have begun to pour in to the Home State offices of Republican Senators, the RightMarch.com PAC is ready to LOBBY
HARD to make sure that our Congressmen follow through on our demands. But lobbying costs money -- so we need YOUR help to keep pounding away on
these legislators to do the right thing!
PLEASE MAKE YOUR BEST CONTRIBUTION NOW: DONATE ONLINE!
Just a few years ago, Senate Democrats chanted their mantras over and over again to try to
derail the nominations of conservative Supreme Court nominees like John Roberts and Samuel Alito: “The Senate is not a rubber stamp!
It’s more important to do it right than to do it fast!” They did everything they could to slow down the confirmation
process.
Now, they’re trying to ram through the nomination of Sonia
Sotomayor -- going so far as to shorten the confirmation process, unilaterally deciding to start hearings on July 13th, make the hearings
short, and allow only a couple of days of debate on the Senate floor before forcing a vote. They want the shortest confirmation timeline in
recent memory, for someone with the longest judicial record in recent memory. This violates basic standards of fairness, and it prevents
senators from carrying out one of their most solemn duties -- a thorough review of the president’s nominee to a lifetime position on the highest
court in the land.
We need ALL FORTY Republican Senators sticking together, to prevent
Sotomayor from ascending to the highest court in the land, and imposing her judicial activist philosophy on America for the rest of her
life!
