   lots of blinking….

   Up to 93 % of communication is non-verbal. Including tone of voice, eye movement, posture, hand gestures, facial expressions and more. The pressure of body language can especially be felt in emotional situations. Body language usually prevails over words. Are you good at reading body language?
   The eyes communicate more than any other part of the human anatomy. Staring or gazing at others can create pressure and tension in the room. Gangs have fought over the way someone looked at them. Researcher suggests that individuals who can routinely out gaze another develop a sense of control and power over others not so inclined. Maintained eye contact can show if a person is trustworthy, sincere or caring. Shifty eyes, too much blinking can suggest deception. People with eye movements that are relaxed and comfortable yet attentive to the person they are conversing with are seen as more sincere and honest.
   - Excessive blinking
   –> showing romantic interest (if their pupil is dilated)
   –> sign of stress
   –> could be lying

   I suspect we will witness another demonstration of GOP failure, inability to respond (certainly not lead), and absolute lack of principals in the Senate hearings today. Be prepared to be outraged by RINOs voting FOR Sotomayer’s confirmation. The DEMS have no problem stopping GOP nominations, but weak Republican Senate clowns can’t even speak up. Sad.

    Lindsay Graham is another poster child of what is wrong with the Republican Party and all the people who continue to vote them in.

    On another note, I don’t know why this just occurred to me last night in regards to Sotomayor’s comment of “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her…blah, blah, blah.”

    This comment just isn’t one denegrating the judgement of men, but of other women. If she meant women in general, she wouldn’t have made a point to say “Latina.” So, she’s putting herself as a Latina above other women, be they white, black, Asian, etc.

    Too bad no one at Fox hasn’t picked up on this.

    The coached nominee for the SCOTUS and the Dems pre-empting the Repubs expected questions are predictable! Her demeanor and prepared answers are annoying!

    Some of the “old” Judiciary Cmte members need to retire or get “backbones” and recognize that a “lifetime” appointment of Obama’s choice will forever enforce how the vast majority of “common sense traditional values” American citizens are denied their precious rights of desent and to appeal “suppressive immoral lower court rulings and passage of laws severely limiting First Amendment Rights. Plus, the “culture of death” under POTUSA Obama will continue to permeate and undermind “life issues” which speak to the protection of the unborn to the end of natural life. POTUSA appointed DOJ supporters of assisted suicide and euthanasia. Check it out for yourself! Where is the outrage??

    Where are all of the vastly better qualified appointees? Lindsay Graham is realistic when he points out that unless at least ten Dems can be pursuaded to oppose Sotomayor, he predicts she will overwhelmingly be approved! So very sad and such a set back for the American Constitution which will have a SC Judge who will look to “international” law to shape her opinions!! Disturbing! jb

    These hearings are a joke. Pretty much all hearings are a joke in D.C. The various interet groups have made up their minds and nothing will change. The person being questioned will say whatever she/he thinks the people want to hear and then, once confirmed, go right back to deciding cases the same way they always have.

    Why not just looks at a person’s decisions over the course of their working life and then see if those decisions are consistent with what you want on the SCOTUS. If so, vote them in or not.

    I would say, regardless of what Sotomayor says under questioning, her decisions do not represent someone I would want on the Court.

    These “hearings” are really just for the congress-critters to hear themselves talk and be seen on TV.

    “Many of Judge Sotomayor’s public statements suggest that she may, indeed, allow, and even embrace, decision-making based on her biases and prejudices”

    —-“The ‘wise Latina woman’ quote, which I referred to earlier, suggests that Judge Sotomayor endorses the view that a judge should allow her gender-, ethnic-, and experience-based biases to guide her when rendering judicial opinions. This is in stark contrast to Judge Paez’s view that these factors should be ‘set aside.’

    Got my letter from BroBama just now, anyone else on his e-mail list? But don’t you Honkys DARE Bully her-BroBama done said so his ownself.

    Good Morning,

    Yesterday, Judge Sonia Sotomayor made her opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee and moved another step closer to taking a seat on the United States Supreme Court. In case you missed it, watch the video of her opening statement here:

    As President, there are few responsibilities more serious or consequential than the naming of a Supreme Court Justice, so I want to take this opportunity to tell you about the qualifications and character that informed my decision to nominate Judge Sotomayor.

    Judge Sotomayor’s brilliant legal mind is complemented by the practical lessons that can only be learned by applying the law to real world situations.

    In the coming days, the hearings will cover an incredible body of work from a judge who has more experience on the federal bench than any incoming Supreme Court Justice in the last 100 years. Judge Sotomayor’s professional background spans our judicial system — from her time as a big-city prosecutor and a corporate litigator, to her work as a federal trial judge on the U.S. District Court, and an appellate judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

    And then there is Judge Sotomayor’s incredible personal story. She grew up in a housing project in the South Bronx — her parents coming to New York from Puerto Rico during the Second World War. At the age of nine, she lost her father, and her mother worked six days a week just to put food on the table. It takes a certain resilience and determination to rise up out of such circumstances, focus, work hard and achieve the American dream.

    This character shined through in yesterday’s opening statement: Watch the video.

    In Judge Sotomayor, our nation will have a Justice who will never forget her humble beginnings, will always apply the rule of law, and will be a protector of the Constitution that made her American dream and the dreams of millions of others possible. As she said so clearly yesterday, Judge Sotomayor’s decisions on the bench “have been made not to serve the interests of any one litigant, but always to serve the larger interest of impartial justice.”

    In anticipation of today’s first round of questioning, I hope you’ll share this email widely, because Judge Sotomayor’s confirmation is something that affects every American. It’s important for these hearings to be about Judge Sotomayor’s own record and her capacity for the job — not any political back and forth that some in Washington may use to distract you. What members of the Judiciary Committee, and the American people, will see today is a sharp and fearless jurist who does not let powerful interests bully her into breaking from the rule of law.

    Thank you,
    Barack Obama

    The Liar In Chief spawns other liars with his appointments. If anyone thinks Sotomayor won’t say what she has to in order to get confirmed and will revert back to what she really feels after confirmation is living in a make believe world.

    The liberals hold her up as the Hispanic poster child with a rags to riches story. They forget their hypocritcal stance when Miguel Estrada was being confirmed. These liars have no shame.

    As to Sotomayors statement on “a woman’s choice”, she, as with all liberals, are confusing which choice a woman should have. Her first choice was to have unprotected sex. It’s the choice of whether or not to suffer the consequences that they are arguing for. I’ll bet many a criminal would like to have a choice as to what the consequences of their first choice should be.

    I am very concerned about the lines of questioning about the Commerce Clause…it seems to me that the U.S. Congress is trying to use that to enact laws in contravention to the Constitution. Democrats want supporters of this position on the SCOTUS. It is insidious!

    I grew up in rural upstate NY. My entire family hunts, some shoot for sport. And I think I would have trouble locating an immediate family member who belongs to the NRA.

    That alone is a dealbreaker, a MELTDOWN IMHO.
    The fact that she said this numerous times, six (6) times, is an absolute outrage.
    Without a court above her, this racially motivated judge sotomayor will most definitely try to change the rules forever.

    That, I can NOT and will NOT willingly accept.

There was a time when people were too proud to accept charity and now we have a group of individuals feeling entitled to handouts. I’m sure there are a bunch of self-made people who aren’t being offered a slot as a justice who have an even more compelling personal story than hers.

    james, are you referring what happened about an hour ago when Grassley was asking her about eminent domain. Did you figure out what that guy was yelling?

    Anyway, I know it’s disrespectful to yell out in those hearings but I’m glad it happened because it allows ‘the other side’ whoever it may be to know that there’s disagreement. These days with the state run media filtering things, it’s good to see a few fired up folks.

    Having totally inverted who she is during her testimony, in order to hide her true beliefs from the people of America.

    Does it ever make you wonder why Sotomayor and her sponsor, THE ONE, HAVE to lie about who they are and what they really believe?

    Does that bother you in the least?

    As to Sotomayor’s service on the court, she may not make it there…or serve long if she does.

    She may also benefit by the association she will have…very likely for the first time in her life…with conservative thinkers.
