I am on record here as having taken Justice Sotomayor nomination as a positive addition to the court. That said, her recent inclusion/voting would negate my opinion that she will be right of center.
You thought Sotomayor would be right-of-center?

Right of center????????????????????

Liked this bit "........"It's quite a big deal," said Primus. "Intuitively, if you're told you have a right to remain silent, the clearest way to invoke that right is to remain silent..........."

You might have to go to the bathroom but if you don't ask you'll end up going in your pants.

And as for the individual in question - the article said he had been giving one word answers during the trip. So he did not remain silent.

Big Teddy,

Sorry I missed this. I never cared for that addition because it was added by some group with an agenda to something that had meaning and history. Even though I might agree with their point of view, I feel I have to disagree with them, as I would with some other group who had a viewpoint contrary to mine and wanted to make an addition or change.

In my view, it was - and had been - fine, so just leave it alone. Don't set a precedent for others. Just my opinion.

This is my shocked face.

Who knew just by looking at her record and her published writings?
