Senate Judiciary Committee Rule IV states, "... debate shall be terminated if the motion to bring the matter to a vote without further debate passes with ten votes in the affirmative, one of which must be cast by the minority." [Emphasis Mine]
That means if the seven senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Jeff Sessions, Orrin Hatch, Charles Grassley, Jon Kyl, Lindsey Graham, John Cornyn and Tom Coburn)stand together, they can prevent Judge Sotomayor's confirmation from being rammed though the Senate by the liberal majority.
Is the shoe on the other foot now?
White men better wake up. The Racists in the country are the Democrats. Affirmative action is discrimination.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS RACISM BEING PRACTICED AGAINST WHITE MALES FOR FOUR DECADES AND IT IS TIME WHITE MALES, DEMOCRATS, REPUBLICANS, CONSERVATIVES, and INDEPENDENTS STAND UP AND LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD.
On all levels. VOTE AGAINST Any politician tyring to ride OBAMA'S Coattails, from Mayors on up, it is time that you wake up.
I don't care what color the president is, I care about his politics. You put vote for people who will put on the supreme court a complete and utter RACIST, then you get what you DESERVE.
White men better wake up. We are not the KKK, we are not going to painted as such, we want EQUAL RIGHTS, not FAVORITISM based on RACE.
I am not ashamed to say it. I am tired of being pushed around by the RACISTS that claim they are civil rights leaders. What a crock of bull.
SAY NO TO SOTOMAYOR, SAY NO TO OBAMA, SAY NO TO RACISM

The Supreme Court is mostly white males.
The bankers are mostly white males.
The Senate is mostly white males.
Finally the President isn't a white male, but that's such an exception it's world news.
Chances are you are a white male who had trouble competing ..
