| You might not know what Sonia Sotomayor stands for after the Senate hearings conducted earlier this week, in which she avoided critical political questions. Some of these questions included her position on abortion and gun rights, which should leave you asking questions about her and what she will really do when she goes into the supreme court. She has said that she doesnt rule on issues according to law and not to her liberal views. However, you dont know how she will rule on these cases because she will not give a straight answer. You want one? She will vote... |

| Youve read about Sonia Sotomayors rulings and about her, what do you think? Is she Supreme Court material? Is she a racist as Rush and Newt tell you? If shes qualified, should she be confirmed or opposed because of how you think she might vote on specific issues? Should she be opposed just because Obama nominated her? Should she be confirmed just because she is female, Hispanic and was nominated by the President? Have at it! |

| Sotomayor stays mum during Senate visitsBy LAURIE KELLMAN, The Associated Press 3:55 p.m. June 2, 2009 WASHINGTON Judge Sonia Sotomayor is not shy. By all accounts, her hearing is fine. But Sotomayor stayed nearly silent in public during her debut Tuesday on Capitol Hill under a guiding principle more associated with the practice of medicine than law or politics: Above all, do no harm. "She's following the rules," said Tom Korologos, a longtime figure in Washington and veteran chaperone of Republican nominees to the high court, including William Rehnquist, later chief justice, and Robert Bork, who wasn't confirmed. "The... |

| WASHINGTON President Barack Obama expressed confidence Saturday that efforts to scuttle Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court will fail despite intensified scrutiny of her judicial career. He said senators should work quickly to elevate the federal appeals judge. "I am certain that she is the right choice," the president said in his weekly radio and Internet address in which he scolded critics who he said were trying to distort her record and past statements. Those include her 2001 comment that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a better decision than a white male judge. With the Senate... |

| The MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) theory applies for both-Touch me at the centre and lose your corner. With considerable success on the western coast the back-stabbing technique was perfected for the Bihar. While the Regina in the window let her hair down enticing the fief, her henchmen went about ransacking his fiefdom. By the time Laloo realized half of his accumulated treasure over the last fifteen years had been burgled. He can now sit and lick his wounds, rue his vanity but he is not getting a chance in near future to avenge his annihilation. With yet another Congress supported... |

| Working for the Release of ES Employees Held in Colombia Though one of the most beautiful places on earth, modern-day Colombia is also one of the most dangerous. On February 13th, four California Microwave Systems employees flying a mission for the U.S. Southern Command crashed in the Colombian jungle, not far from a stronghold of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC), a local armed insurgent group. The pilot, Tom Janis and Colombian Army sergeant, Luis Alcides Cruz, were murdered by the FARC, and Keith Stansell, Marc Gonsalves and Thomas Howes were taken prisoner.The three remain in captivity, held by... |

| Guarded by hundreds of armed rebels deep in a malaria-infested jungle, three American captives pass the time playing with a homemade deck of cards and dreaming of their families. The threat of death always hangs nearby. The three U.S. military contractors have been cut off from the outside world since their capture by rebels seven months ago. That isolation was broken when a Colombian journalist traveled for days over rough roads and jungle rivers with a rebel escort to interview them July 25 in remote southern Colombia. "They were nervous, and there were traces of fear on their faces," freelance... |

India Shifts Course

| In a stunning political shift, Indian voters have decisively rejected the governing Hindu nationalist party and the coalition partners that have kept Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee in office since 1998. Liberalizing economic policies carried out under Mr. Vajpayee's Bharatiya Janata Party governments have given India statistically impressive economic growth. Yet in a country where poor people vote in large numbers, most of them remain unimpressed. Along with the coalition's drubbing came the equally unexpected revival of the long-fading Congress Party under its Italian-born leader, Sonia Gandhi. Mrs. Gandhi, the widow and daughter-in-law of assassinated prime ministers, capitalized on her... |
California Budget Battle (FReeper's daughter gets letter printed in "Fresno Bee")

| <p>I read with disgust about "local leaders and state workers" putting pressure on Assemblyman Mike Briggs to vote yes on Gov. Gray Davis' bloated budget.</p> <p>This year's budget is nothing short of a gouge-the-taxpayer nightmare, which, if passed in its current form, would surely destroy what's left of the state's economy. As the economy crumbles, so do jobs for working families.</p> |
