Hey, I thought he actually asked one of the best questions during this entire process.....he asked, "Why do you want to be a Supreme Court Justice?" Somehow, that seems rather more germaine to me than one line in a speech she gave once. Not to mention which, he actually managed to bring some humor into the whole thing, which certainly was nice.
OMFG RU F'N SERIOUS? Franken asked good questions that spoke to the judge's character as a human being. The bottom line in all this is that a jurist has to be concerned with the rights and wellbeing of other human beings. As Alito and Roberts both plainly said in their confirmation hearings. And were gleefully passed right on through by the Democrats on their respective committees.
Sessions on the other hand spoke to Sotomayor like she was his fucking MAID and he was trying to make it clear he wanted the bathroom floor scrubbed every Tuesday before poker night. I have never in my life heard a guy say in so many different ways that he wanted it to be perfectly clear that the judge understood that people have the right to own guns. Dude, say it again, she didn't understand you the first 150 times you said it. Jesus CHRIST!!
However the wise latina is anti-gun ownership and has ignored the Heller decision. So Sessions had every right to say what he did.
By the way, care to provide the 150 times Sessions talked about gun rights? or is this just another lie, like the millions of scientists or the 5 million of people that were in the National Mall?
You really, honestly don't know the meaning of the word "rhetoric," do you?
You're that fucking stupid. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Sotomayor is no more anti-gun than any other jurist. It's a fucking amdendment to the Constitution, it's pretty fucking black and white what the intent was. Sessions and his puppetmasters are just paranoid and listen to Limbaugh too much, who tells them to believe that any liberal and anyone Obama would choose is anti-gun. Which is y'know, stupid and insane, which is what we've come to expect from the nutball right, so it's par for the course, I guess.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you haven't been watching the hearings in their entirety, and instead are relying on the selected clips shown on right-wing blogs, talk radio, and Fox News.
I, however, have (sadly) been watching/listening to the hearings in full all week, and found Sen. Franken's questioning to be among the more intelligent... an initial attempt at humor (evil!) aside. In particular, I liked his lengthy debate with Sotomayor on the important issue of net neutrality, an issue that often doesn't get much press.
It certainly was an improvement over the openly condescending (and quietly racist) berating that she was getting from the right side of the panel who acknowledged that she'll be confirmed but berated her anyway (focusing instead on one comment she made, and one ruling she made in her lengthy career) all while lamenting how white Christian males just can't catch a break in America anymore

talk about focusing on irrelevancies. Frankly, Sotomayor would have been perfectly justified in telling Sessions to fuck off, every time he opened his lying racist mouth.
