Are you kidding?

TB — 5/28/2009 2:20:46 PM (archived)

"Republicans talk suicide." "Gingrich and Limbaugh call Sotomayer 'racist.'" "Republicans are outraged as white, male representation on Supreme Court set to plunge below 67%."

Those are the opening headers of three of the four threads on this subject, with premises that are full of shit from the first round.

The fourth thread was "To preempt one argument, she does NOT have a high reversal rate."

Note the tone on the fourth thread.

And you have the nerve to stomp off in a huff because Republicans are ruining the board?
