Sotomayor admits she's not smart, strives to just be "competent"
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 4th, 2014 9:43 AM Author: Stimulating Rough-skinned Base Legend http://washington.cbslocal.com/2014/02/04/sotomayor-labeling-illegal-immigrants-criminals-is-insulting/
On the Supreme Court since 2009, Sotomayor said it was tough at first as justices made references that went over her head. She said joining the high court amounted to joining an ongoing conversation among justices who had served for years.
“I figure I may not be the smartest judge on the court but I’m going to be a competent justice,” she said. “I’m going to try to be the best I can and each year I think my opinions have been getting better. And I’m working at finding my voice a little bit.”

Date: February 4th, 2014 9:45 AM Author: cruel-hearted psychic 1)You have poor reading comprehension. She said she may not be the "smartest justice" on the bench, not that she's not smart. 2)She's self aware enough to recognize her aptitude ways to maximize it. 3)You're a MAF reptile looking to make a stir out of a misreading of her statement. |
|
Date: February 4th, 2014 9:53 AM Author: Trip Messiness 1) His comment "not smart" was clearly in the context of SCOTUS comparables. What else could he possibly mean? over 100 IQ?
2) It does not take alot of self-awareness to realize that people like Roberts and Kagan are substantially smarter than you. Also, her "ways to maximize it" involve being a loud bully.
3) Everybody knows Soto is an incompetent tard. Even Dems. Nothing to make a stir about really if it is already known.
|
|
Date: February 4th, 2014 9:57 AM Author: cruel-hearted psychic Let me get this straight: OP is justified in this post because Soto acknowledges she is not the smartest SC justice?
So, in essence, he'd be MAF if she claimed to be as smart as any other justice, and MAF if she didn't.
In that case, let him be equally MAF about Thomas and any other justice who we deem to be below anything except the highest standard for justices.
Justices, like any group, allow for some degree of variation in intelligence. What degree of variation is acceptable, CGM? Should we IQ test justices? In appointing justices, is a President required/strongly expected to select them on the basis of the highest possible intelligence to the exclusion of any other factors? |
|
Date: February 4th, 2014 10:05 AM Author: Trip Messiness 1) OP is not MAF about anything. It is however a pitty that we have a tard on the SCOTUS, whether she admits it or not is irrelevant.
2) Evidence that Thomas is below the standards for a member of SCOTUS, highest or otherwise?
3) With Soto is not a matter of a minor difference in intellect. You are strawmanning like a fucking retard here. Nobody shits on Breyer for not being as smart as Kagan. The reason? The gap is not that big. With Soto on the other hand, it is huge. That is why people on here, and elsewhere, make a big deal about it. |
|
Date: February 4th, 2014 10:07 AM Author: cruel-hearted psychic 1) So OP's post was written in a tone of pity, yes? 2)Evidence that Soto is dumber than Thomas? 3)Evidence that Soto is SIGNIFICANTLY dumber than the average justice?
|
|
Date: February 4th, 2014 10:11 AM Author: Trip Messiness 1) Obviously not. People are embarrassed and frustrated by the existence of a moron on SCOTUS.
2) Read what she has written and said. Then read what Thomas has written and said. Do it. Go now on youtube and watch some videos of Soto and her remarks (i.e. "wise latina") compared to Thomas and his 60 minutes interview, or his presentations at lawschools. Dont even have to bother reading their opinions.

Date: February 4th, 2014 9:55 AM Author: Trip Messiness Describe how thomas has been an embarrassment. This is the difference between shitlibs and normal humans.
When a normal person makes a claim (i.e. Soto being an idiot) they back that up with evidence (such as transcripts which have been posted on here).
When a shitlib makes a claim they just leave it hanging out there with no evidence or support. As if the point is supposed to stand on its own. |

If you think oral arguments are retarded why would you participate?
Thomas has an entirely valid reason for not bothering to speak.
This is how weak your argument is. We have decades of decisions and written work by him. We have his academic performance and credentials. And the best "evidence" you can come up with is the fact that he does not talk as much as you would like. |

Date: February 4th, 2014 10:16 AM Author: Trip Messiness 1) That means Scalia is also an embarrassment. As their positions are, on the whole, very similar in that regard. Obviously some differences on stari decis and such as it impacts constitutional interpretations. But pretty close.
2) This is a thread about a retard on the SCOTUS. Saying that "Thomas is an embarrassment" implies in this context that you are talking about his intellect not his position on the constitution. If it does indeed only refer to his position than 20% of the legal thinkers are embarrassments.

Furthermore they are both oafs compared to Roberts and Kagan. Scalia probably gets a slight nod over Thomas in terms of intelligence, but Thomas is much more intellectually honest. They're both pure SHIT in terms of writing persuasive opinions though. |
