I just received this e-mail from reviled so-called "Blue-Dog" enemy of liberal Democrats, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand...
President Obama has made an historic and fantastic choice in nominating Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the first Latino to sit on the Supreme Court. Having grown up in a public housing project in the South Bronx, Judge Sotomayor has a uniquely American story we can all be proud of.
She's an accomplished jurist who will bring a lifetime of experience and much needed diversity to our nation’s highest court.
Please join me in sending a note of congratulations to Judge Sonia Sotomayor in honor of her groundbreaking nomination.
Click here to send your congratulations to Judge Sotomayor. Her history-making nomination will add great experience and wisdom to the Supreme Court.
Yesterday, I spoke with President Obama about this appointment and I pledge to work diligently to ensure she meets a swift confirmation in the Senate.
She’s served at every level of the courts: as a big city prosecutor, a corporate litigator, a federal trial judge, and as one of the most respected appellate judges in the country.
She combines a brilliant understanding of the law with a common sense appreciation of its practical implications.
Sincerely,
Kirsten Gillibrand
This must be a mistake, how could someone as evil as Sen Gillibrand be for a SCOTUS nominee if she is not a blue-dog as well? I will bet that she is in favor of forcing all Americans to own 10 guns as well.
I know what you are thinking, just because Sen KG supports the SCOTUS nominee does not make her a bad person...but you know guilt of association...you never know...
Anyway, Sen KG is enthusiastically supporting POTUS Obama's SCOTUS nomination...so good for her...
As you can tell this whole diary was a big...SNARK...
******Important Update*****
Maybe Sen Gillibrand is only supporting the SCOTUS nominee to help her with the NYC liberal and ethnic vote...don't be fooled.../snark
