SEE: Republicans plan to delay panel vote on Sotomayor but see quick confirmation debate

Let us not forget that not one Republican has asked Sonia Sotomayor the most important question:

Will you enforce the documented intentions under which our Constitution was adopted, as those intentions may be established from a preponderance of evidence taken from the historical records during which time our Constitution was being framed and ratified?

This of course would have started a discussion about following the most fundamental rule of constitutional law!

Intent of constitution

16 Am Jur 2d Constitutional law

Par. 92. Intent of framers and adopters as controlling.



The fundamental principle of constitutional construction is that effect must be given to the intent of the framers of the organic law and of the people adopting it. This is the polestar in the construction of constitutions, all other principles of construction are only rules or guides to aid in the determination of the intention of the constitution’s framers.
(countless citations omitted).

Every Senator who supports the confirmation of Sotomayor would be suppoting one who has used their office of public trust to subjugate our written Constitution and the documented intentions under which it was adopted when she ruled in the firefighter’s case, and why I refer to them as domestic enemies.


Here are three DOMESTIC ENEMY RINOs who support trashing the 14th Amendment’s protection against racial discrimination: Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and Florida’s Sen. Mel Martinez!

I wonder how many more DOMESTIC ENEMY RINOs will vote for Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation.
