On 3 August 2009 John McCain, who you might remember as “this one,” made it known that he will oppose Sotomayor’s confirmation. While he acknowledges that the judge’s life story is “compelling,” it is evidently outweighed by the fact that she is a (say it with me) judicial activist. The full text of McCain’s statement can be read here.
So. What is going on here? Is McCain standing on principle, which he was occasionally known to do prior to turning into a parody of a crazy old man before our very eyes?
Is he making a stab at relevance by ensuring he’ll be able to say “I told you so” when Sotomayor and Ginsburg personally bludgeon Roberts and ScaThomas to death with their gavels, declare the USA the People’s Republic of Feminazia, and mandate 72nd term abortions for all as well as perpetual stimulus packages every time a dollar vanishes from petty cash somewhere?
Is he just being a vindictive sore loser? Or is he just falling in line with many of his fellow Republicans, including other Republican Senators from states with high Latino populations (including Cornyn, Hutchinson, Coburn and Hatch)?
Thoughts?
