Are you really so stupid you won't back up your claims with sources?
See, more than one can play that game...
By the way, did I mention ethnicity?
Yawn
you don't like what i said so you are going to play the stupid contrarian game
Here are a few things to ponder. If you need help understanding them just ask
Democratic Racism: The Real Reason Behind the Borking of Estrada by Robert Alt
FOXNews.com - Democrats Plan Filibuster of Estrada Nomination - Politics | Republican Party | Democratic Party | Political Spectrum
and another one
“Among those waiting for a vote is Peter Keisler, Mr. Bush's highly regarded nominee for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. … He is widely seen as Supreme Court material, presumably the reason Mr. Leahy hopes his nomination will go the way of Miguel Estrada, a legal star blocked by a Democratic filibuster in Mr. Bush's first term.”
The comparison to Miguel Estrada is an interesting one. Estrada was blocked not only because he is “Supreme Court material,” but also because he is Hispanic. Democrats fear the nomination of a conservative Hispanic to the Supreme Court, because blocking a Hispanic nominee would anger a core Democratic constituency. Is the fact that Keisler is Jewish similarly contributing to his obstruction by Democrats? There is no way to know. But it’s worth noting that, of the nine appeals court nominees currently being obstructed, three are Jewish

Democrats argue he is too conservative for the bench.
On Wednesday, Kennedy told his Democratic colleagues, "If we allow a stealth right-winger on this court, we have only ourselves to blame."
So two hatchet job editorials, and one that shows something other than you claim.
Got anything reliable that backs up your claim? Only thing reliable so far actually supports the idea you are wrong.
What do you think the political fallout of blocking the nomination by republicans will have, and the use of the "nuclear option" will have? Will this have an effect in November?
I am a source, I handle federal appellate cases and I know many of the players
You really are not up to this argument. The fact that Keisler's Jewish ethnicity is even raised suggests that many of us who follow this issue closesly believe it plays a part.
Your "belief" does not make it fact nor does it back up your claims.
I couldn't care less
at least one of the moderators on this board knows where I went to law school since she asked me advice about applying to law school. another poster knows my name and knows I am telling the truth
that you are mad that I iknow more about this issue is not my concern and since you don't matter to me I couldn't care less what you think
Yeah yeah yeah and I'm George W. Bush :roll: If you are not going to provide your name and where you work, then you are NOT a CREDIBLE source nor does it change the FACT that your "belief" does not make it fact or back up your claims.
Please take your internet bragging to someone that might actually believe you.
Well, I'm glad this thread has been civil and free from hyperpartisan rants... :mrgreen:

You sure seem upset
must have hit a nerve with you
call up Peter Keisler and ask him
Like I am going to tell you who I am
you seem obsessed enough to stalk me and trust me, I really don'[t need that.
Upset? Not at all, but you are the one acting upset which is evident by your personal attack. I just know that without the information as to who you are and where you work, you are not a credible source as you claim. You are upset cause you got called on it and can't back up your claims.
Not my fault you made a claim you can't back up.
Still waiting for you to provide a legitimate source to your claim of racism and anti-semitism.

Uh, Redress, a least this poster's claim of racism has at least a hint of plausibility...which is far more reasonable than the Demcocrats claims that people like me are racist because we opposed Obamacare...
Honestly, I think both the Republicans and Democrats need to appoint justices based on their duty to uphold the Law and the Constitution, not to force an ideologue to judge based off of his opinions and not judicial and lawful facts. We need open minded, objective judges without bias or affiliation who will see that justice will be served and not ideology supported. Both Republicans and Democrats have failed at this.
I guess you also ignored the comments I posted demonstrating many other people also believe that the dem position was BS and racism was the reason
I realize when one is a hack you don't want to admit that your side can be racist-especially when you are a dem and you pretend that racism is only a rightwing disease
Many people believe that 9/11 was an inside job, and Obama is not a natural born citizen, and aliens visit the earth, and the moon landing was fake....
I could care less what people speculate, I prefer those pesky facts, which you don't seem to have.
Nah you are a hack
I posted strong facts that suggest that there can be no rational reason for the first fillibuster of a circuit judge
one that was backed by four leading liberal legal icons as well as the ABA
so see if you can rebut my arguments
but I know you cannot-you don't have the training or the intellect I suspect
I pose a question you cannot answer
Roberts and Alito were well known conservatives
Estrada was backed by four solicitor generals who served dem adminstrations
Estrada worked for the Clinton Solicitor General and clerked for swing justice Anthony Kennedy, The ABA gave him its highest rating
so tell me again-why was he fillibustered and Roberts-going to a higher court-was not
you seem rather unwilling to even address the issue
