The US Taxpayers Party of Michigan (USTPM), Michigan’s affiliate of the national Constitution Party strongly opposes the confirmation of Sonya Sotomayer to the Supreme Court. The Constitution Party National Committee unanimously passed a resolution (read below) at its meeting in Newark, N.J. last month urging the U.S. Senate to deny the confirmation of President Obama’s pick for the Supreme Court.

Constitution Party National Committee Chairman Jim Clymer said “Americans from across the political spectrum have little patience with the kind of blatant bias this woman has shown in the past through her affiliation with a racist group and her pronouncements that a woman of her race could be a better jurist than a “white male”.

The confirmation of Sonya Sotomayer and her placement in the court will hinder the high court’s ability to properly judge given her prejudice and lack of understanding in so many constitutional matters.

Resolution Opposing the Confirmation of the Nomination of Sonia Sotomayor

by Constitution Party National Committee

Newark, New Jersey

Whereas, on May 24, President Obama nominated 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be a supreme Court justice, citing her empathy and life experiences; and

Whereas, she denies the applicability of the individual right to bear arms protected by the 2nd Amendment to the citizens of the several states; and

Whereas, she favors statehood for Puerto Rico, which would increase the danger of America ceasing to be an exclusively English language country; and

Whereas, she supports giving voting rights to convicted murderers who are still serving time in prison; and

Whereas, she is comprehensively opposed to the death penalty for convicted first degree murderers; and

Whereas, she has been a member of the National Council of La Raza, many of the leaders of which favor amnesty for illegal aliens and the return of the southwest United States to Mexico; and

Whereas, she favors racial and ethnic quotas in education and employment; and

Therefore, the Constitution Party National Committee urges the US Senate to reject confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor to be a justice of the supreme Court of these United States.
