3 WORDS NOT INTENDED FOR USE WITH CONSERVATIVES...

Three words the media (MSM) will NEVER use in describing a conservative anything, but go out of their way to describe other liberals. Compelling life story. Compelling life story. Compelling life story. Compelling life story. Arrghh! Surely it will stop soon. Yeah right. As long as the TV is on it won't stop. My God even FOX can't help it. Rush, Ann Coulter and a few other conservative pundits have refrained. Mention it once and move on...
Like Big O himself... by-the-way, did you know he was black? Holy crap! I'm shocked I tell you, shocked! MSM still can't help themselves, they still trip over themselves when talking about "Him". Really its embarrassing. Like Big O, the fawning is just further proof journalism is dead. That is a topic for another day.
Compelling story. Clarence Thomas also had a very compelling story... from dirt poor, to Supreme Court Justice. Self made man. Impressive resume, excellent judge & human being. He was excoriated by Dems/libs in the senate, by Ted "the swimmer" Kennedy. A true bastion of character. Alberto Gonzalez also has a compelling story. These are details the press never mentioned, or gave little notice to.
We already know she knows little about fairness, and accepts racism as normal as long as it is against Caucasians. Hence her comments that, I'm paraphrasing, Latina women make better decisions than "white" men. Strike two! A televised speech shows her talking about legislating from the bench, though she quickly backtracked and gave congress credit for actually making our laws. Strike three!
These opinions among many others based in left-wing political views are enough for those in the senate to grill her as tough as Justice Thomas was. At least as tough. No doubt it is a forgone conclusion she will be confirmed by a weighted Senate, but she should still face serious questions. We should expect... no we should DEMAND answers, to these questions. Coherent answers, not ones that are parsed, or evasive. A compelling life story does not give one a pass or excuse bad judicial decisions. She has been overturned, I believe 60 % of the time. As a protest when the time comes and it becomes obvious she'll be confirmed, I think republicans should all vote against.
Also I'm tired of hearing people say republicans can't criticize or vote against her because she is a Latina or... wait for it... she has a compelling life story. To hell with the fact that she holds far left views/ideas. We'll lose Latina votes. Who cares about principles.... especially when you have such a compelling life story.
