Where do these kids get the idea the GOP is racist?!?!?

[GordonGecko]

That's just crazy talk---

"According to the San Antonio Express-News, the complaint alleged that Judge Edith H. Jones, of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said in a speech in February at the University of Pennsylvania Law School that African-Americans and Hispanics are "predisposed to crime" and that defendants facing capital punishment who claim "mental retardation" disgust her.

Jones was a potential Supreme Court nominee during the Bush Administration. Until October, she was the chief judge on the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals."

I doubt in his heart of hearts Scalia is any worse tha her..

 

[GLXYCBD]

Better I meant...

 

[GordonGecko]

She's just more obvious and open about it.

But love to see if she'd repeat that to the face of her fellow jurist....Clarence Thomas.

 

[OldGaffer]

Clarence would agree with her.

 

[GLXYCBD]

I'll see u guys Later.. I gotta go find out how the space time continuum gets manipulated...

 

[as seen on tv]

wow - it must have taken you days to find this. some obscure speech from nearly 6 months ago? where do you find the time?

i hope she wasn't referring to george zimmerman when she said "hispanics are predisposed to crime". that would be the ultimate indignity, after being wrongly accused of being a wasp racist first.

 

[GordonGecko]

Clarence would agree with her.

If Scalia TOLD him to agree with her, you mean.

Your denunciation of her racist remark has been recorded, ASOT. Thank you.

Full Disclosure- ASOT belongs to no political party....she just utterly and loyally defends one.

OLD NEWS ALERT!!!
OLD NEWS ALERT!!!
OLD NEWS ALERT!!!

 

[Bo-4]

Clarence would agree with her.

Clarence agrees only with his puppet master Antonin. If Antonin quits before Clarence does, Clarence will immediately follow as he is incapable of independent thought without the strings to guide him.

 

[Bugsy McGurk]

Clarence would agree with her.

hee hee...

Anything ASOT isn't extremely interested in is old, obscure, and irrelevant news. ;-)

 

[GordonGecko]

And yet she does "Top Ten Lists" talking about stuff from the CLINTON years.

 

[Minotaur]

Clarence would agree with her.

ROFLMAO!

Hard to know what Clarence thinks, since he's apparently incapable of speaking -- at least while he's on the bench.

Then again, that may be in everyone's best interest?

 

[trapdoor]

So this person, who isn't identified as to party and who wasn't nominated for the Supreme Court is an exampe of all Republicans?

 

[GordonGecko]

Anybody notice? Except for ASOT (who "Full Disclosure- belongs to no political party") who tried to change the subject.....none of the Right/Republicans have shown up on this thread to criticize Jones.

Not even those guys who say it's "lies by Democrats" that make the public think there are racists in the GOP?

You think Bush was thinking about nominating a DEMOCRAT to the Supreme Court, trap???

I criticized her -- I don't think she speaks for most Republicans. I know you'd like to portray conservatives as fools, but for the most part, they are not. They would be foolish, stupid even, to intentionally abandon millions of votes out of shear racism.
