South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham suggested to Sotomayor that she had “a temperament problem” and advised that “maybe these hearings are a time for self-reflection.”
And Coburn not only lectured Sotomayor on the “proper role” of judges, but read her the oath of office.
It reminded me of a party I was at once, for someone who had just become an American citizen. There were balloons, apple pie, champagne, and little American flags. We each brought gifts: My friend and I gave the food snob new American a box of Twinkies.
Someone else gave him a pay stub, and said, "Now you'll have to start paying tax!".
It baffled me. He thought only citizens pay tax?
What kind of lives do they think other people have? Ones where judges don't know their own oaths? Where green card holders don't pay tax? Where Latina judges have attitude problems and need to calm down, and be lectured?
