"No Controlling Legal Authority" to Self Defense -- Sotomayer
AIP News.com | 07/15/09
I just heard a soundbite of the following question "Do you believe that an individual has the right to self defense?" and Sonia Sotomayer's response to it:
"I don't believe the court has addressed that issue.... but I could be wronnnnnnng."
Evading the question of whether or not an individual has the right to self defense calls to question her intelligence and her decency BIG TIME.
Charges are dropped based on the presumption of self defense all the time. People have been exonerated forever based on a determination of self defense. But Sotomayer, rather than simply say "Yes," the answer that God fearing human beings have been saying forever, demurred.
Let me observe that I have a right to demand that she promise not to introduce to the United States the kind of horrors visited upon our British cousins. They have been denied this basic right now for over a decade. Thus, I do not believe she was being stupid as some will claim. She is being devious.
This nomination is OVER.
