State conservatives mobilize anti-Sotomayor effort

A conservative coalition has formed in Colorado to oppose President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court, arguing that the New York judge is a judicial activist who puts her “personal political agenda” above the rule of law.

“Sonia Sotomayor’s statement that a ‘wise Latina woman’ would generally make better decisions because of ‘the richness of her experiences’ than a white male reveals the extent to which political and personal agendas have supplanted the rule of law in selecting nominees,” former State Treasurer Mark Hillman said in a press release announcing the coalition. “Rule of law requires that laws be written, accessible, understandable and uniformly applied.”

…Other organizers of the Colorado anti-Sotomayor effort include John Andrews, former president of the state Senate; Jon Caldara, president of the Independence Institute, a conservative Colorado think tank; and Jeff Crank, state director of Americans for Prosperity.

No word yet on whether Tom Tancredo will be joining the anti-Sotomayor festivities, but you might say he already has. At any rate, the crack team of Hillman, Andrews and Jon “Bitch Slap” Caldara should be able to give Sotomayor the exposure she so richly deserves – and send any sane Republicans left over from the Tancredo disaster scurrying for the exits.
