OVER 100 MORE examples of Fox News Bias at www.youtube.com With Justice John Paul Stevens retiring from the US Supreme Court, Fox News has been spreading a common Republican talking point claiming that Supreme Court nominations were first politicized by the way DEMOCRATS reacted to Pres. Ronald Reagan's 1987 nomination of Robert Bork, but that talking point is not accurate as I show in this video. The clips I use of Fox News anchor Chris Wallace come from a segment of the Fox News program "Happening Now" broadcast on April 9, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online). The clip I use of Karl Rove criticizing Sen. Ted Kennedy during Kennedy's funeral comes from my video titled "Karl Rove Trashes Ted Kennedy on Day of Funeral?" available on YouTube at www.youtube.com The clips I use of MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show" come from the segment broadcast on April 9, 2010, available online at www.msnbc.msn.com And, finally, the image I use of Stephen Gillers' Cardozo Law Review article titled "The Compelling Case Against Robert H. Bork" comes from the webpage at heinonline.org

Supreme Court Justice Alito, Shakes Head, Not True at Obama Speech State Of The Union Jan 27 2010
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito frowned and shook his head as President Barack Obama spoke to Congress Wednesday. Obama had taken the unusual step of scolding the high court in his State of the Union address. (Jan. 27)

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito shooked his head no, and mouthed "not true," while President Obama criticized the Supreme Court for their recent decision permitting lobbyists and corporations to exert more influence on elections. This is highly inappropriate of a Supreme Court justice - they don't even clap at the State of the Union, they're supposed to be so impartial.
President Barack Obama on Saturday sharply criticized a Supreme Court decision easing limits on campaign spending by corporations and labor unions, saying he couldn't "think of anything more devastating to the public interest." (Jan. 23)
This is an older Video New Info Posted Today 4/29/2010 Subject: VERY QUIETLY OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP CASE REACHES THE SUPREME COURT Dated April 28, 2010 AP - WASHINGTON DC - In a move certain to fuel the debate over Obama's qualifications for the presidency, the group "Americans for Freedom of Information" has Released copies of President Obama's college transcripts from Occidental College . Released today, the transcript school indicates that Obama, under the name Barry Soetoro, received financial aid as a foreign student from Indonesia as an undergraduate. The transcript was released by Occidental College in compliance with a court order in a suit brought by the group in the Superior Court of California. The transcript shows that Obama (Soetoro) applied for financial aid and was awarded a fellowship for foreign students from the Fulbright Foundation Scholarship program. To qualify, for the scholarship, a student must claim foreign citizenship. This document would seem to provide the smoking gun that many of Obama's detractors have been seeking. Along with the evidence that he was first born in Kenya and there is no record of him ever applying for US citizenship, this is looking pretty grim. The news has created a firestorm at the White House as the release casts increasing doubt about Obama's legitimacy and qualification to serve as President article titled, "Obama Eligibility Questioned," leading some to speculate that the story may overshadow economic issues on Obama's ...

IN THE PAPERS: US President Barack Obama nominated appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor to be the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice. Sotomayor will replace retiring Justice David Souter. Her nomination now awaits Senate confirmation.
Sonia Sotomayor, a Latino, will soon be setting policy for us. She'll be telling us how to live our lives. She will be deciding cases based upon "empathy", rather than on the merits of the case. She will be a joke of a Supreme Court Justice. And that's just not my opinion, it is a fact. Any Justice who decides cases based on empathy for one side or the other should never be a judge, they should be a lawyer instead. Here is the oath that each Supreme Court Justice takes before assuming office ...
