Supreme Court Nominations
Day 2, Confirmation Hearings: Do You 'Have a Temperament Problem?' Sen. Graham Asks
Posted Jul 14, 2009 4:32 PM CDT
By Richard Brust
Editor's note: Click here for more Sotomayor hearings coverage.
5:20 p.m. ET—Leahy ends the day. Eleven of 19 senators completed today's questioning with the remaining eight to go tomorrow before the committee breaks into a private session with nominee Sotomayor.
Overall, most senators aimed their questions at discussions of the law behind Sotomayor's 17 years as a judge. A few Republicans, Graham and Kyl mostly, also pursued questions about Sotomayor's comments on her Hispanic heritage. It's likely that pattern will persist tomorrow as two Republicans and six Democrats use their half-hour question periods. The gavel is scheduled to come down at 9:30 a.m. ET.
4:55 p.m.—Sentencing questions, no answers. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) picks up Linda Greenhouse's Becoming Justice Blackmun. Durbin points to Blackmun's quote that he will cease to tinker with the death penalty.
"What's Sotomayor's view on the death penalty?" he asks. She mostly passes on a reply. But Durbin emphasizes his concern about courts following up on assuring plaintiffs about DNA, etc.
Durbin moves on to sentencing. He said he voted for the disparity in crack powder sentencing. "Now we realize we made a serious mistake. Most such criminals are African-American, whereas they are a minority in using cocaine."
Sotomayor again passes on an answer. She acknowledges Durbin's interest but says as a judge, she must pass on a specific answer.
4:50 p.m.—Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund. Graham asks about Sept. 11 and whether we are at war. We are, Sotomayor says. Graham asks if she is familiar with military law. Not really, she responds. "Well," he says, "Do you think there are people out there planning our annihilation?"
Graham tells Sotomayor to look at the law of war before the next round of questioning. He says that under the law, there is no time limit to release a member of the enemy.
Graham now inquires about the Puerto Rican Legal Defense Fund (now the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund). Sotomayor replies that she was on its board for 12 years.
"Are you familiar with what the fund said about taxpayer-funded abortion?" Graham asked. Sotomayor said no. "The fund says to deny that is like treating women as if they were slaves." He asks if she was aware of that.
No, she says. As a board member, that was not within her understanding.
She says she knows the fund was involved in public health issues. "Is it a public health issue?" Graham asks. "The fund was getting involved in it."
4:30 p.m.—"A temperament problem?" Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) goes back to Sotomayor's speeches. He suggests how they differ from her answers today. "I hear you today, and I think I'm talking to Judge Roberts," he says. "It's like you're a strict constructionist."
"We're trying to figure out who are we getting," said Graham. "Don't go into writing speeches." He asks Sotomayor if she is a legal realist or a strict constructionist.
"I'm someone who doesn't use labels in my work," she says.
Graham come across like professor Kingsfield: Hanging out questions, subtly trying to lead Sotomayor but not letting out where he is taking her.
He quotes an article slamming Sotomayor for being a "terror on the bench," being nasty to lawyers, a bit of a bully. "You stand out on the 2nd Circuit like a sore thumb," he says.
In response, Sotomayor agrees that she is a challenger. But the 2nd Circuit is a hot bench, she says.
"Yes," says Graham, "but they single out you more than others."
"Do you think you have a temperament problem?" he asks.
"No, sir," she responds.
"But," says Graham, "these statements stick out; this is pretty tough stuff."
Graham moves to the "wise Latina" statement. "For a long time, a lot of talented women are asked, can you type?" he says. "But your speeches don't say that to me. They say there will be a day when there will be more of us, and we'll change the law."
"The one thing I've tried to impress upon you," he says. With his head leaning on an arm, he searches for the "wise Latina" quote. He asks her to say it for him. Sotomayor is embarrassed about it.
"In politics, you got to watch what you say because you don't like what you're going to get," he says. She responds that if those words were taken out of context, they might.
Graham says he'll overlook the statement when voting for her. Sotomayor says that she hopes that we've come to the point where we judge a person on their experience and not their words.
"Yes," he says, "if that comes from this hearing, we've done the world some good."
From the Web:
Asked today by Graham about published claims that she sometimes bullies lawyers, Sotomayor said she's no bully but is known for asking tough questions, reports the Blog of Legal Times. "My reputation is that I ask the hard questions, and I do it for both sides," she told the senator.
Like other confirmed nominees before her, Sotomayor remained composed and was so cautious in what she said, NPR reported, that Graham at one point remarked: "I listen to you today, I think I'm listening to [Chief Justice John] Roberts."
4 p.m.—Rulings and empathy. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) works in an opposite approach from the arguments of Republicans. He cites a series of cases that would prompt a judge to empathize with the plaintiff. But, he notes, Sotomayor was required to rule against the individual because the rule of law required that.
For example, in a case seeking liability for a TWA plane crash off Long Island, Sotomayor had to rule against the plaintiffs. Her point, she says, that despite the sadness, the rule of law offered another result.
From the Web:
Countering Republican criticism that Sotomayor may be influenced by her background as a Latina growing up under difficult circumstances, Schumer said he wanted to put on the record that she does indeed follow the rule of law, reports the Top of the Ticket blog of the Los Angeles Times. "No colleague has pointed to a single case in which you have attempted to change existing law or otherwise," the senator stated.
A CQ Transcriptions account of Schumer's discussion with Sotomayor is provided by the Washington Post.
3:35 p.m. 10-minute break.
From the Web:
No-frills coverage by some media emphasized the seemingly routine nature of the confirmation hearings, writes an Associated Press television critic. The most eye-catching development, he says, was the bright red jacket worn today by Sotomayor.
The "cardinal hue" was sufficiently solemn for the occasion, yet stood out due to a lack of fireworks in the questioning, writes Frazier Moore. The famously doomed nomination in which Robert Bork was "borked" for a Supreme Court seat in 1987 is legendary, he notes, yet many probably didn't even notice at the time what he was wearing.
3:20 p.m.—Back to "wise Latina woman." Kyl brings out speeches from Sotomayor in which she says women and people of color will make a difference in the process of judging. He concludes that her speeches back that up.
"The clear inference is that it's a good thing that this is happening," Kyl said. "You seem to embrace that there will be difference."
In response, Sotomayor backs up her record of 17 years, and that says it has not been influenced by her background or biases. There are occasions where she has had regard for a party, but that, no, the law requires a different result, she says.
"The life experience enhances the judging," she says. "Our system is enriched by a variety of experiences. I don't think anybody quarrels that different people benefit the bench."
It's hard to know in this line of discussion who exactly is offering conflicting information. Kyl appreciates differences but worries when they are expressed on the bench. Sotomayor counters that she is inspiring people of different demographics and that the act of judging would not be affected.
Kyl pulls off: He says she is conflicting the issue. "You almost celebrate the difference," he says. "You say it would be a good thing if we decide these cases differently."
Regarding the "wise Latina woman" comment, Sotomayor says she was making a quip on the comment by O'Connor that a wise man and wise woman would make the same judgment.
3:02 p.m.—What's in a judge's heart? Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., returns to whether Sotomayor would recuse herself from Maloney if it came before the high court. The two go back and forth on whether she would recuse from other gun control cases that may come before the court. She backs away. "There are so many different questions to look at," she says, regarding recusal.
Kyl cites a statement by Obama that "the law will take you 25 miles of the 26-mile marathon, but the rest of the decision is what's in a judge's heart." Do you agree?
"No, sir," says Sotomayor. "The law decides what a judge does."
"Has there ever been a case where you've been guided by your gut?"
"Well," says Sotomayor, "lawyers have said to me that I've been."
Kyl follows: "Has there always been a legal basis for your opinions?"
"Exactly, sir," says Sotomayor.
Kyl says Obama is clearly going to seek nominees to this court and others that have some agreement with his judging. But, he tells Sotomayor, some of her speeches lead him to believe there are other reasons besides law to make a decision in a case.
From the Web:
Perhaps the sharpest GOP criticism yet was made by Kyl, reports the Top of the Ticket blog of the Los Angeles Times.
As she testified that judges apply the law to facts, Sotomayor essentially fell into the senator's lawyerly trap, the blog post recounts. In response, Kyl read an excerpt from what he said was a speech she gave at Seton Hall University in 2003: "To judge is an exercise in power. There is no objective stance. No neutrality. No escape from choice."
Under questioning from Kyl, Sotomayor also at least arguably disagreed with President Barack Obama about the empathetic role of judges, according to the Washington Wire blog of the Wall Street Journal.
"Judges can't rely on what's in their heart. They don't determine the law," the nominee testified. "Congress makes the laws. The job of a judge is to apply the law."
3 p.m. ET—"A judge should never rule from fear." Feingold finally asks, "What do you have as a judge that would empathize with small-town Americans?" Sotomayor says she has lived in all sorts of places with friends who live there. "It's important to know more than where I live," she says.
Feingold goes back to Korematsu, the World War II decision that approved of Japanese Americans placed into detention centers. "Your opinion?" he asked.
"A judge should never rule from fear," she said..
2:33 p.m.—Potential recusals. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) asks Sotomayor about Sept. 11 and her views on opinions that involve Guantanamo Bay. Most questions are self-serving, and again Sotomayor declines to respond as a judge.
In Heller, Feingold asks about whether Sotomayor would recuse herself if the 2nd Circuit Maloney case came forward, but not if a similar case out of the 7th Circuit came up. It's likely that one of the appellate cases will come before the court to follow up on a state's right to issue gun control laws.
Sotomayor dances around this. She would recuse for Maloney for sure, she says.
Feingold's questions veer into the area of where Sotomayor would go regarding key issues that are likely to come before the court in the future.
2:32 p.m.—GOP senators switched gears. Grassley and Sotomayor go into a discussion about several cases involving federal regulations. Despite yesterday's insinuations about Sotomayor's statements regarding her Hispanic heritage, the three Republicans so far have changed gears, leading Sotomayor on a more specific discussion of her rulings and her opinions on Supreme Court precedent. The discussions have been intricate, but any law professor would love the back-and-forth on constitutional ideas. On many answers, Sotomayor says she is unable to answer as a judge.
2:01 p.m.—Didden and Kelo. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, leads Sotomayor on the Supreme Court's Kelo case, the 2005 case that expanded the rights of municipalities to seize private land for commercial case.
The two wander through the issues of takings, just compensation and other issues of the Fifth Amendment. As obvious to most, Grassley then pulls out the Didden v. Village of Port Chester case before the 2nd Circuit in 2006. Property rights critics of Sotomayor have pointed to Didden as an extreme decision.
(Just before she answers, another anti-abortion protester distracts the committee.)
In Didden, the question was whether Didden knew that the state was going to take his property for a public use. But, Sotomayor says, Didden declined to take steps previous to the seizure, so his right to sue was expired.
Grassley notes that Sotomayor issued a very short opinion denying Didden's case. Adds Sotomayor: The case was not about Kelo, but about the New York statute of limitations. Thus, she says, it got a very short response.
From the Web:
As Senate Judiciary Committee members took a lunch break today during the Sotomayor hearing, another abortion protester apparently was gearing up for a noisy outburst at the outset of the afternoon's proceedings before he was removed like the other individuals who have made their voices heard earlier.
Sen. Charles Grassley lightened the mood after order was restored, eliciting chuckles by remarking wryly: "People always say I have the ability to turn people on," reports the Iowa Politics Insider blog of the Des Moines Register.
The quip got the biggest laugh in the hearings so far, reports the Hill's Blog Briefing Room.
The abortion protest during the Sotomayor hearing yesterday by the plaintiff in the landmark Roe v. Wade case that legalized abortion decades ago has even caught the attention of celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. His post features a large photo of "Jane Roe."
Another Associated Press article quotes highlights of the exchanges between Sotomayor and committee members today.
12:20 p.m.—Wrapping up the morning. Feinstein says that Sotomayor must go to court with the idea that Congress must legislate on all these issues, and the courts must not supersede their powers to do so. She finishes, and Leahy ends for lunch. Back at 2 p.m.
12:07 p.m.—Congress and the president. Responding to a Feinstein question, Sotomayor leads the committee on a long discussion about the interaction of the courts, Congress and the president over laws involving war. Sotomayor points to Justice Robert Jackson's contribution to the Youngstown steel case that spells out how Congress can interact with the president.
Feinstein leads Sotomayor in involved discussions of the commerce clause, the First Amendment, other issues. The discussion is very long and intricate.
12 p.m.—Feinstein is up. During a break, Sessions recaps information about Miguel Estrada, the rejected Republican nominee who withdrew his name for an appellate bench in 2003. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) wonders why the question of Estrada keeps getting brought up. "You see," says Feinstein, "this is a totally different case."
She cites that Sotomayor has agreed with Republican-appointed justices over the years. "Sotomayor is being mistakenly blamed for being an activist," says Feinstein.
Feinstein delves into the background on abortion decisions, and then points out that the changes in the most recent Carhart decision. Feinstein asks: "Does a woman have a right to have her health considered?"
"Yes," says Sotomayor, "that continues to be the case."
From the Web:
What a difference nearly 40 years makes. In 1971, Norma McCorvey was poor and pregnant when she became the "Jane Roe" plaintiff in the case that led to the Supreme Court's landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling in 1973. Now, at age 61, she is making new headlines as an abortion protester who disrupted yesterday's hearing, as articles in the Washington Post and the Caucus blog of the New York Times recount in detail. Several abortion protesters were arrested yesterday after protests at Sotomayor's confirmation hearing.
11:45 a.m.—Ricci again. Hatch brings up the Ricci case. He delves into the procedure of the case, the initial three-judge per curiam opinion, and the follow-up full court opinion.
Sotomayor again repeats that the issue was about the city of New Haven's test and whether it was of disparate impact under Title VII. There's little doubt at this point from Sessions' and Hatch's questions that the Republicans are going to bore in on this case.
Hatch gets reflective. "You have nothing to do with this," he says, but he points to reports that the People for the American Way have criticized Frank Ricci.
"That's the kind of stuff that doesn't belong at a confirmation hearing," Hatch says. Sotomayor agrees.
From the Web:
People for the American Way was rushing out a response to a claim by Sen. Orrin Hatch that it might have been "smearing Frank Ricci," reports the Top of the Ticket blog of the Los Angeles Times.
"It is not a smear to point out than an individual used the law to protect his interests," the group says in a written statement. "It's time to get past this distraction and have an honest discussion about the importance of anti-discrimination laws for all people."
11:29 a.m.—Second Amendment. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, kicks off a very intricate discussion about precedent and how it applies in Second Amendment cases. He asks about the case of D.C. v. Heller, the Second Amendment case from last year, and inquires about whether the case also applies to the states.
Sotomayor and Hatch go back and forth on the question of whether the right to bear arms is fundamental, that is, whether it applies to all citizens rather than just the federal government.
In this year's Maloney v. Cuomo, Sotomayor said that the Second Amendment applies only to the federal government but not to the states. The case involved numchuks martial arts devices. Sototmayor and Hatch go back and forth on the issue of fundamentalism.
11:08 a.m. A 10-minute break.
10:53 a.m.—SCOTUS precedent. Kohl asks about the Kelo case, the famous case from New London, Conn., under which the court expanded the takings clause to allow the city to take over an individual's home. "Assuming," Kohl said, "you become a Supreme Court justice."
Kohl next picks up on Griswold, the 1960s case involving the right to privacy. Basically, he's hitting most of the main controversial cases from the last 50 years. In response, Sotomayor insists consistently that as precedent she is bound to abide by it. It's a pretty regular back-and-forth.
(Any law students watching the confirmation hearing will get a great lesson about how to use leading questions. Compare, for example, Republicans edging toward doubt, with Democrats emphasizing favorability. More on this later ...)
From the Web:
An Associated Press article also "translates" what is being said at the hearing and what it really means. For example, several answers by Sotomayor actually mean "I'm not as liberal as they say," the article recounts.
Another Associated Press article reports some of the key exchanges between Sotomayor and committee members.
On another front, Sotomayor likes the concept of cameras in the supreme court, reports the Blog of Legal Times.
10:35 a.m.—Cardozo an inspiration. Sen. Herb Kohl (D-Wis.) delves into Sotomayor's record of reversals by the Supreme Court. He focuses on her 17 years of judgeship and says this is the basis by which we should discussing her background.
Kohl then pitches one: What about balls and strikes?
"Analogies are always imperfect," Sotomayor said. "Judges should be impartial and bring an open mind to each case before her."
Kohl wants to know which current justices she most admires and who she would agree with. She blows past that and says each justice deserves respect.
From the past, she admires Justice Benjamin Cardozo. She admires his respect for precedent for other branches as well. "That's how I address the law," she says: case by case, comparing the law with the facts.
10:22 a.m.—Exploring Ricci. Sessions picks up on Ricci case. He goes over the Supreme Court decision. Sotomayor again emphasizes that the Supreme Court enacted a new test.
Curiously, Sessions refers to 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge José Carbanes' disagreement with the three-judge panel that issued the first Ricci decision. Sessions refers to Carbanes as another Hispanic judge. Both he and Sotomayor let that remark go.
He emphasizes the fact that Carbanes insisted that the 2nd Circuit issue a full decision, rather than a per curiam case.
Sotomayor: The appellate circuit based its decision on a large 78-page lower court case. It was "undisputed" that there was agreement that there was disparate impact.
In the end, she says, there was tremendous regard for firefighter Ricci. But the panel relied on precedent.
From the Web:
In both the Ricci and Heller cases, Sotomayor emphasized today that her decisions followed clear precedent, reports the Blog of Legal Times.
10 a.m. ET—"We are not robots." Sen. Sessions begins. He returns by boring into many of her previous quotes. Had she spoken that clearly in the past, he says, there may be no questions asked.
"Appellate laws find precedent and that has policy implications," she says. The speech was set in context, she adds.
He asks if there is any chance that a judge should allow their prejudices to enter. "Never," she replies. "Life experiences have to influence you. We are not robots."
Sotomayor and Sessions plunge into a back-and-forth over the extent of feelings and how much they influence judging. Sessions consistently asks whether Sotomayor's previous statements contradict what she is saying now about a more studied look at emotions.
She disagrees. "At no time have I let my sympathies indicate the outcome of my cases."
From the Web:
"There are some situations where experiences are important in the process of judging," says Sotomayor, in response to a question from Sessions, reports the Campaign Spot blog of the National Review.
But Sessions wasn't persuaded by Sotomayor's explanation that she follows the law and was discussing policy in her "wise Latina" comment, recounts the Top of the Ticket blog of the Los Angeles Times. "You have suggested that a judge's background and experience will impact their decision, which goes against the American ideal that a judge will be fair to every party, and every day when they put on that robe they will put aside their personal prejudices," he said.
So far, observers say, today's hearing has largely focused, as expected, on political showmanship. "What we're witnessing so far has little to do with law and lots to do with PR," writes the Second Opinion blog of the Baltimore Sun.
"The hearings spend little time on issues that matter to anyone but students of constitutional law and people at the extreme ends of the political spectrum," agrees attorney Allan Levin of Cozen O'Connor in an op-ed piece in the Atlanta Journal Constitution.
However, the hearings do give a read on the relative strength of the political parties, allow public opinion to influence the supreme court, even though the justices aren't supposed to be affected by it, and offer a candid view of potential presidential candidates on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he writes.
"Let's not waste this opportunity to judge our senators on how they perform their duty of evaluating nominees to the highest court."
After what the Washington Post described as "a surprisingly strong critique of her fairness" by Republicans during yesterday's hearing, Sotomayor continued to be a target of further grilling by Sessions and his GOP colleagues today.
As they continued to focus on Ricci and Sotomayor's "wise Latina" comment, among other points of controversy, an Atlantic writer says that the so-called objectivity on which much criticism of Sotomayor is grounded is actually a myth. "Whether we see it or not, we all are a product of our experiences, and those experiences give us a particular set of lenses through which we view the world," writes correspondent Lane Wallace. "They influence how much weight we give to different factors in an argument, and what we tend to believe, out of what we're told."
In response to questioning by Sessions, Sotomayor insisted her background won't affect her judicial impartiality, reports the New York Times.
A "Platonic ideal of complete, pristine objectivity" is difficult or impossible to achieve. So the GOP members critical of Sotomayor might be smarter to ask themselves what a wise Latina would do, writes Eugene Robinson in the Post Partisan blog of the Washington Post.
9:45 a.m.—Ricci and "wise Latina": Leahy asks Sotomayor about the Ricci case and precedent.The issue in Ricci, she says, is what the city should do. "This is challenge to a test," she says.
The employer had to defend the test. She goes over the burden test for Ricci and Title VII.
She explains that the case involved New Haven's decision based on precedent or what it was required to do. The panel concluded that city's move was lawful under established law.
She replies that the Supreme Court set a new standard from a different area of law.
Leahy then asks her about the controversial "wise Latina quote."
"No words I have ever written or spoken have gotten that much attention," she says. "I was trying to inspire Latino students to believe that their lives could be inspired. That they could become anything that they wanted to become."
She continues, "No domestic group has an advantage in judging." She agrees with Justice Sandra Day O'Connor that men and women were equally capable of being wise and fair judges. Judges disagree about legal outcomes all the time, at least, on the same cases.
From the Web:
As the Sotomayor confirmation hearings began yesterday, one key focus both there and among observers was her controversial "wise Latina" comment. In a CNN opinion article today, Laura Gómez, a law professor at the University of New Mexico who attended a conference at which Sotomayor made the comment, talks about what she thinks it meant.
Sotomayor herself also explained the 'wise Latina' comment in her testimony today, saying that she believes "every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge, regardless of their background and life experiences," notes the Washington Wire blog of the Wall Street Journal.
9:30 a.m.—Remembering the prosecutor' s office. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) convenes today's hearing. Judge Sonia Sotomayor is dressed in a bright red jacket today. Red is for Republicans; yesterday's blue was for the Democrats.
Leahy says Sotomayor is the first nominee in more than 50 years who served as federal judge at trial and appellate court. He asks her what qualities a judge ought to possess.
She emphasizes that others yesterday talked about judge's duties. "The process of judging is keeping a an open mind, not coming to a decision with a predecided outcome."
Leahy refers to the case of the "Tarzan burglar," who moved into apartments and molested and killed. Sotomayor prosecuted this. "Did that shake your views as a lawyer or as a judge?" he asked.
Richard Maddicks, the "Tarzan burglar," committed a series of burglaries and murders in a bloody three-month spree form 1981 to 1982 in Central Harlem by swinging from rooftops on ropes and crashing through apartment windows with his gun blazing.
Maddicks' one-man crime spree left a trail of shattered lives, including three deaths and many seriously injured. The police investigation that led to the arrest of Maddicks covered 23 incidents over a 12-month period, 11 of which were the subject of a 37-count indictment charging Maddicks with multiple counts of murder, burglary, assault and assorted crimes.
She says that she become a lawyer in the prosecutor's office and owes a lot to Robert Morganthau, Manhattan district attorney. "In law school, you learn theory. In the prosecutor's office, law isn't legal theory, it's facts"
Her delivery is very poised and deliberate.
Monday overview. But for a few disruptions in the audience, the first day of the Senate Judiciary Committee's confirmation hearings for Judge Sonia Sotomayor went along smoothly. After a morning filled with statements by the senators, Judge Sotomayor made her introductory statement about 2:50 p.m. It lasted around 10 minutes.
The second day is slated to begin today at 9:30 a.m. EDT. Each senator will get about a half-hour to question the judge. It is expected the questioning will last until tomorrow.
At yesterday's opening, the Democrats and Republicans each revealed the outlines of their arguments. Most GOP senators dwelled on Sotomayor's 2001 statement that "a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that had he made a similar kind of statement, he would never have been confirmed to a seat. Several senators have also cited Sotomayor's involvement with the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, and have questioned some of the work that she did with that organization.
From the Web:
On Monday, Orrin Hatch was soliciting questions for Sotomayor from constituents on Twitter, MSNBC's First Read blog.

by Spokane Shock Media Relations
SPOKANE, Wash. – The Spokane Shock (8-7, 3-2) return home to Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena to host the Arizona Rattlers (14-1, 4-0) in a nationally televised game on CBS Sports Network on Saturday, July 12 at 7:00 p.m. PDT.
Both the Shock and the Rattlers have already secured playoff berths, however, this game still carries meaning for both squads. The Rattlers are looking to keep pace with the Cleveland Gladiators to secure the No. 1 seed and the Shock are looking to avoid the season sweep to their National Conference rivals after losing their first two contests on the road to the Rattlers.
Spokane and Arizona both enter the showdown coming off a bye week, gathering some much-needed rest late in the season. The Shock entered their bye week fresh off a 64-46 victory over the LA KISS, while the Rattlers suffered their first loss of the season to the San Jose SaberCats by a score of 62-33.
In Erik Meyer's return to LA two weeks ago, the field in which he was injured on early in the season, he completed 23 of 34 passes for 214 yards and six touchdowns while adding three rushes for one touchdown. Rookie wide receiver Rashaad Carter had himself another big game against the KISS, leading the Shock receiving corps with four receptions for 39 yards and three touchdowns.
The tough loss for Arizona came on the back of a poor performance by quarterback Nick Davila, who completed only 8 of 22 passes for 114 yards and one touchdown with one interception before being replaced by backup Jason Murrietta at halftime.
Meyer continues to feed the threatening receiving duo of Carter and Mike Washington, who have combined to bring in 142 receptions for 1,676 yards and 30 touchdowns. Meyer's accuracy and the receiving corps sure hands have led to Meyer's 65.5 percent completion rate, the third best in the AFL.
But it's not only through the air that Meyer is dangerous – in addition breaking his own franchise single-season rushing touchdown record against San Antonio he is now only 32 yards shy of breaking his own franchise mark for single-season rushing yards.
Spokane's recent success is thanks in part to the return of Meyer on offense and in part to a stout defensive unit that has given up only 45.7 points per game, the fourth best mark in the league.
Terence Moore anchors that defense, having recorded 80.0 tackles, six interceptions, four fumble recoveries, and five defensive touchdowns. Defensive back Paul Stephens stops anything that gets past Moore, having racked up 60.0 tackles, two interceptions, and 26 passes defensed. Up front defensive end James Ruffin continues to terrorize opposing backfields by tallying a league-leading 12.5 sacks.
Despite his below-average performance two weeks ago, Davila remains one of the league's most productive signal callers. He has completed 67.8 percent of his passes for 3,830 yards and 105 touchdowns, 63 of which have gone to wide receivers Rod Windsor and Maurice Purify.
On defense Arizona is led by a trio of ball hawks in the secondary, with Jeremy Kellem, Arkeith Brown, and Marquis Floyd maintaining the three highest tackle totals on the team and a combined 21 interceptions.
In addition to national coverage of the game on CBS Sports Network, radio coverage can be found on 700 ESPN Radio.
2015 Season Tickets for the Shock's 10th Anniversary season are on sale now and can be purchased by calling (509) 242-7462 or by visiting SpokaneShock.com.

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Southminster: Burst water main repaired
2:28pm Wednesday 16th January 2013 in Local News By Emma Robinson, Reporter
A burst water pipe has now been repaired after it sent water gushing above houses in Southminster yesterday.
The burst main, at the junction of King's Road and Dukes Avenue, sent the water about 20 feet in the air.
A spokesman from Essex and Suffolk Water said: "A suspected leak in this area was reported to us early this morning.
"Our technician attended the site and found a leak on a 4 inch water main.
"The main was left in operation to maintain supplies to 80 customers.
"At this time the leak was just bubbling out and the water was dispersing safely into the local drainage system.
"A crew was dispatched to carry out the repair.
"When they arrived the pipe had burst causing a considerable release.
"They shut the main down and carried out the repair within an hour and a half.
"We take repairing leaks from our network extremely seriously and would like to assure customers that we worked carry out the repair as quickly as possible."

As a perspective buyer we would be very interested in a gated community because we travel and not home all the time. We would also be interested in trail walks because as senior's we like to do a lot of walking and it is excellent for our health. What about a area for picnicking with bathrooms''' We are very excited about this community and very interested in buying a single home .

110 unit single family home community for residents? (or did you mean seniors) 1900/2670 sq.ft.,4 models, doesn't sound like a healthy plan for diversity. Start broadcasting planning commission meetings! If not,why?

B.C. teachers taking strike vote
B.C. Teachers take a strike vote next week and the results will be known by next Thursday.
"I'm disappointed to hear that's the action they're going to take," said Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Doug Bing, adding that Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said there has been progress in negotiations.
That wasn't the assessment of the BC Teachers' Federation on Tuesday. The union noted after more than 40 sessions and more than a year of bargaining, it will take the strike vote "to push back against major concession demands, an unfair salary offer, and a deliberately confrontational attempt to reverse the recent B.C. Supreme Court decision on class size, composition, and staffing levels."
Bing noted Victoria is appealing the Jan. 27 court decision to reinstate class-size contract language from 2002, and said that process could take years.
But the government would prefer a negotiated settlement.
Bing said parents have had enough of teacher job action in recent years. Report cards haven't been issued, and teachers have refused to take part in extra-curricular activities including grad ceremonies.
"I think they (parents) are very frustrated," said Bing.
"We all have the same goals – we all want the best education possible for our children. That's hard in this climate."
BCTF president Jim Iker said the government continues to negotiate in bad faith, and has tabled "unreasonable proposals" which would strip class size and composition from contracts.
The government is asking for a 10-year deal, and Iker said teachers are being asked to accept no increase for the first two years, four years of increases ranging from 0.5 to one per cent, and then the final four years of "an ill-defined indexing scheme that not even the BC Public School Employer's Association negotiators can explain."
Teachers received no pay increase for the 2011-12 and 2012-13 school years.
Maple Ridge Teachers' Association president George Serra said the strike vote is in part a reaction to the government ignoring the court's class-size decision.
The "complete disregard for the court ruling" was the "straw that broke the camel's back," he said.
He noted the teachers fought in court for the right to negotiate class sizes for 12 years.
He said the government has offered an salary indexing scheme that is confusing at best, but essentially the Liberals are asking for "a handshake agreement, with potential increases," depending on how the economy performs.
"Those are all measures the government gets to control," he added.
Serra conceded that teacher job action has the potential to upset students and parents.
"I think the majority of folks will understand our frustration," he said. "We don't take strike votes lightly."
The union isn't saying what job action will occur, but did say what it won't do.
Once the strike vote is taken, the union has 90 days to activate it with job action. The union said the action will occur in stages, but it will not include immediate school closures or disruption for students.
The initial action will also not stop teachers from participating in extracurricular activities, nor will it affect report cards or teachers communicating with parents.

Attention Texas: The Monarchs are coming
Attention Texas: The Monarchs are coming
The monarchs are coming!
As the cold weather sweeps down from Canada in September, millions of monarch will take flight to escape it. In three pathways, monarch butterflies will flood from the United States into central Mexico. One group flies from the west through Arizona and New Mexico. Another migrates from central Canada, the Midwest and Great Plains through central Texas. The final cluster will travel along the Appalachian Mountains and Atlantic seaboard to follow the Texas coast to Mexico.
When the autumn season brings shorter daylight and cooler temperatures, the monarchs read these as signs that they need to stop reproducing and head to their winter home in Mexico.
The butterflies will reach Texas by late September, and the number will peak during October. The largest migration concentrations will cross into Mexico around Del Rio in the last half of October. By Thanksgiving, most will have settled into their reserves in the mountainous oyamel fir forests.
There was a drought through the Midwest and parts of central Texas this year. This resulted in sparse wildflowers and few natural nectar sources, which is what the butterflies are dependent on. The southern rains in southeast Texas, however, have produced many nectar-rich flowers. This means the monarchs will – thankfully – have sufficient food to nourish them when they arrive.

Drinkers barred from Chorley pub - for not supping up quick enough
1:24pm Thursday 31st January 2013 in Chorley
A GROUP of drinkers, including a pensioner, have been barred from a town centre pub after a dispute about "supping up time".
The eight men, aged from 21 to 65, regularly enjoyed a late-night pint or two at the Sir Henry Tate, a JD Wetherspoon pub overlooking Chorley's Flat Iron market square.
However a disagreement with management over drinking up time and the use of the toilet led to them being barred entry on Sunday, January 20.
Their exclusion was then confirmed in a letter from JD Wetherspoon's customer service team saying they were no longer welcome.
Tommy Shorrock, 64, of Arley Street, Chorley said he was "upset and disappointed" at the way the group had been treated.
He said: "The disagreement was over several Sunday evenings. Last orders at the Sir Henry Tate are at midnight but we believe an insufficient and unreasonable timescale was imposed upon us to enjoy our final drink.
"The manageress asked for our glasses at 12.10am and demanded we leave the premises at 12.20am.
"Furthermore the use of the toilet, especially for a disabled person in our group, was denied prior to leaving. We're just a typical group of pubgoers asking to be able to finish off our drinks without rushing."
Mr Shorrock added that during a phone call with the pub's customer services department he was told a reasonable drinking up time was 30 to 40 minutes.
He later sent a letter of complaint.
He added: "In my opinion Wetherspoons has a good reputation but the reaction of the staff left us quite upset and this turned to astonishment when we were barred entry."
The letter of reply from JD Wetherspoon customer services to Mr Shorrock said: "Following on from your behaviour on your visit to the pub, we have been advised by the manager that they do not wish you to return to the pub.
"The manager is responsible for the pub and its licence and it is not a requirement that a reason for barring you from the premises is provided."
Company spokesman Eddie Gershon added that JD Wetherspoon fully supported the actions of the manager.

So I understand it this way, the Act merely requires a simple schedule should show any other times they will be open to the public. I see here that it mentioned by our friend Mr Shorrock that they have a licence till 2am. Under the Act this is totally irrelevant and it is, sorry to say, but possibly a confusing issue, so maybe the company Wetherspoon's might want to look at that. I feel also other issues not mentioned here might be looked into, like, was there in the Planning Permission any reference to Opening or Trading Times, if so they have to be considered in any legal redress.
Then there is the matter of disabled persons being involved, which makes me ask is this matter about a disturbance between the managers and customers about drinking up times and being barred - or - is it about an issues of Disability? I am registered disabled and would find it offensive if the issues of disability are being used here just to get the point across about drinking up time for able-bodied persons.
I would think that the disability issues about being able to get in or out of a premises would depends on the premises, the management, workers, public and all the other circumstances, which might include accidents or emergencies. But at the end of the day any issues with disability should, I feel, be addressed on its own merits at looked at through what is reasonably acceptable or needed for that given situation, this would including amount of time to vacate a premises.
I also understand that Mick Clark, communications officer for the Central Lancashire branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), said with regard to this article: "We must express our concern, particularly about the treatment of disabled people." I am with our friend Mick Clark on this and agree fully that the involvement and treatment of disabled people needs here have to be addressed.
I would give lots of support to this problem that as unfortunately developed here for our friend Mr Shorrock and of course his friends, but first a clear-cut decision of what it is actually all about and that needs to be made clear. Again I ask, is it about disability or is it about drinking up time. Or is it about something else, such as the possible unruly behaviour that led to some people being banned from a pub or is it about Politics, I am puzzled to the involvement of UKIP what's that all about anyway? To finish, I feel, you can't get anywhere with this as it stands, the legalities are unfortunately on the side of the pub licensee.

SR go through in Hampshire Junior A Cup
8:00am Saturday 10th November 2012 in Sport By Tony Spencer
THE heavens opened up with a vengeance at the weekend and washed away most of the planned local football fixtures last Sunday.
SR FC found a gap in the clouds away at Foresters AFC in the second round of the Hampshire Junior A Cup.
SR conceded a goal to the hosts but won 3-1 thanks to a pair by the reliable Brett Denham and a single from James Miller. This was SR's fourth straight win in a row and their third cup success so far this season.
RAF Odiham Families did not allow the drizzle to dampen their parade as they stormed to an eighth straight league win, beating Pure Everest 3-1 to stretch their lead at the top of Division Three to 10 points.
All the other cup and league games were unfortunately postponed due to waterlogged pitches.

During World War II, Nazi Germany led a systematic campaign to loot and plunder art from Jews and others in the occupied countries. Much of the stolen art was recovered by the Allies in the immediate aftermath of the war, however, thousands of valuable art pieces were not returned to their rightful owners or were never relocated. In the decades following the Holocaust, a concerted international effort was undertaken to identify Nazi plunder that still remains unaccounted for with the aim of ultimately returning the items to the rightful owners or their families.
The Third Reich amassed hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork - worth billions of dollars - and stored them throughout Germany. Other pieces deemed "degenerate" were legally banned from entering Germany so Hermann Goering and Joseph Goebbels tasked a number of approved dealers with liquidating these assets overseas and passing the funds back for the Nazi war effort.
At the end of World War II, the Allies found plundered artwork in more than 1,000 repositories across Germany and Austria. Under the direction of the U.S. Army, nearly 700,000 pieces were identified and restituted to the countries from which they were taken, whose governments were then supposed to locate the original owners and return the art. Unfortunately, thousands of pieces either never made their way back to the rightful owners or the owners could not be tracked down.
In 1985, European countries began to release inventory lists of works of art "that were confiscated from Jews by the Nazis during World War II, and announced the details of a process for returning the works to their owners and rightful heirs."
The recovery of stolen art took a more international scale in 1998. On June 30, thirty-nine countries signed a joint pledge to identify art stolen from Holocaust victims and to compensate their heirs. Nearly every European country - in addition to the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Russia and Israel - signed the agreement. Soon after, an Austrian advisory panel recommended the return of 6,292 art objects to their legal owners, most of whom were Jews.
In November 1998, the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum co-hosted the Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets in whcih delegations from forty-four governments and thirteen non-governmental organizations participated. Though the conference addressed various issues related to the confiscation of assets by the Nazis during the Holocaust, the principal issue was looted art and the conference achieved a substantial degree of consensus on a set of principles dealing with looted art. These principles include encouraging research into the provenance and identification of art, calling for these findings to be publicized, urging the establishment of a central computerized registry linking all Holocaust-era art-loss databases and encouraging alternative dispute-resolution strategies.
Following the Washington Conference, the Association of Art Museum Directors developed guidelines requiring museums to review the provenance of their art collections, focusing on art looted by the Nazis. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, for example, identified more than 400 European paintings with gaps in their provenance during World War II era while New York City's Museum of Modern Art told Congress that they were "not aware of a single Nazi-tainted work of art in our collection of more than 100,000."
In Germany, the government subsequently established the Lost Art Database to serve as a central office for the documentation of lost cultural property which as a result of Nazi persecution were relocated, moved or seized, especially from Jewish owners.
In January 2006, a court ruling stated that Austria must return five paintings by world renowned artist Gustav Klimt to the heirs of a Jewish family from whom the paintings were stolen during the Nazi occupation in Austria. The paintings had been housed and displayed for decades in the Belvedere castle gallery in Vienna.
In November 2013, German authorities announced the discovery of a trove of about 1,500 artworks confiscated by the Nazis. The art was unearthed nearly two years prior in a Munich apartment belonging to the son of Hildebrand Gurlitt, one of Goering's specially approved art dealers commissioned to liquidate degenerate art, but was not announced at the time to allow for the building of a provenance investigation. The works, by artists including Picasso, Matisse and Chagall, are estimated to be worth about $1.35 billion, though determining their rightful could take years.

Industrial Museum switches on solar power
9:00am Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News
Bradford Council's Industrial Museum (above) has been given an energy boost with the switch on of new solar panels.
The energy-saving panels have cost £39,000 to install and will produce enough power to pay for themselves in about eight years.
The panels are expected to meet ten per cent of the Eccleshill museum's electricity needs each year as well as generating an income of £3,050 per year from feed-in tariff payments.
They have been installed as part of the Council's drive to reduce costs and cut the district's carbon emissions, as the authority looks to provide 20 per cent of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2020.
Coun Andrew Thornton, the Council's executive member for environment, sport and sustainability, said: "We have to take every opportunity available to reduce our operational costs and maximise our energy efficiency."

Ben McLemore fell to No. 7 in the 2013 NBA Draft, and the Sacramento Kings scooped him right up. At No. 36, the Kings picked up a point guard in Ray McCallum, Jr. A guard-heavy team gets more guards! Here's what the Kings' depth chart looks like with free agents in italics.
PG: Isaiah Thomas | Jimmer Fredette | Toney Douglas | Ray McCallum
SG: Tyreke Evans | Marcus Thornton | Ben McLemore
SF: John Salmons | James Johnson | Travis Outlaw
PF: Jason Thompson | Patrick Patterson | Chuck Hayes
C: DeMarcus Cousins | Cole Aldrich
That's 15 players total, which is actually the maximum roster size. But Johnson almost certainly won't be back, so we're down to 14: seven in the frontcourt, seven guards. I would argue that drafting two guards puts Douglas on the outside, so you're down to six guards. That's probably one too many for the roster, and 2-3 too many for the rotation.
The McLemore win certainly brought Evans' restricted free agency into the spotlight. But if Pete D'Alessandro can find a market for Jimmer Fredette and/or Marcus Thornton, you could keep Tyreke while still getting minutes for Isaiah and McLemore.
The journey is just beginning.

Gary Williams was announced as the head coach of Maryland Terrapins basketball in 1989, just as the program was recovering from the 1986 death of superstar Len Bias. The death of the Boston Celtics' draftee forced coach Lefty Driesell out of College Park -- his successor, Bob Wade, produced two nine-win seasons in three years, so the Terps turned to Williams, who'd made the NCAA Tournament at three straight coaching stops: American, Boston College and Ohio State.
After an embarrassing 1990 DUI arrest, he posted two straight winning seasons in Maryland before soon beginning a run of tourney appearances that lasted over a decade and included the 2002 national championship, the only one in program history. Williams was responsible for six of the seven winningest seasons in Terps history. The two-time ACC Coach of the Year developed a particularly strong home court atmosphere, winning almost 82 percent of his home games.
The Terps have struggled (by their recent standards) since 2004, failing to make it past the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Williams' last venture into national headlines before retiring came in April 2011, when N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow accused him of tampering with the Wolfpack coaching search. The two have had a tempestuous relationship since Yow was Williams' boss at Maryland, where she publicly complained about his recruiting style -- Williams tended to favor less-heralded players -- and reportedly tried to fire him.
Thus far, Maryland fans don't seem all that torn up about his exit, at least as far as SB Nation's Backing The Pack goes. He'll likely be remembered as one of the last highly successful coaches from a dominant era of ACC basketball, whether he was beloved around the rest of the conference or not. He's the conference's third-winningest coach of all time, behind only Mike Krzyzewski and Dean Smith.

But I go here!
Oh, yeah, you know. Your dog is 'mostly' housebroken, he goes outside or on the papers. He's pretty good, except for the part where he goes there.
You know, under the dining room table, or in front of the tv, or by the door where you let him out (and that one is mostly your fault, but I digress). And you can't make him stop! Because he thinks he also goes there!
Why? He's a dog. Some people love to sit and ponder how and why a dog thinks. I figure they don't waste their time trying to figure out why I think the way I do, I'm not going to concern myself overly with their thought process. I mean, why do they want to chase a ball around the back yard? Who does that? Well, yeah, football boys, golfers, basketball players…never mind. Anyway!
If you need to ponder, there's a couple reasons off the top of my head. One is you didn't clean it up properly. They can smell far beyond the nose of mere mortals. They know someone peed (pooped) there before and they are helping! "Here, mom, let me cover that up for you! You're welcome!" Good doggie? I guess. Or its a habit. I go here, I go there, its much easier to go here than there, and we all like easy. Another is, I know this is the way out but no one is letting me out, so, sorry, couldn't wait!
And what you really want to know is JUST MAKE IT STOP. I know. I get that a lot.
Okay, the first thing is, decide you're going to. I know, that sounds simplistic, but sometimes its just easier and like I said, we all like easy. But once you decide you are going to stop it, we'll make a plan.
Lets say he's going under the dining room table. One. Clean the spot thoroughly with an enzymatic cleaner. Then do it again. Then – you got it – do it another time.
Second – Don't let him in the dining room. I know. Who woulda thought? And make sure he gets taken out a few more times a day and rewarded for doing it right.
If you can't block the dining room, then put something over the spot. Like a box or a plant or something so he can't get his nose to it. And take him out anytime he tries to go in there and sniff around.
If he still keeps going back, after a few days, then feed him on that spot. Usually (not always) but usually, dogs don't pee on their food. So that should stop it. If it doesn't back track on the housebreaking. Crate, tether, schedule. Start all over.
Good luck! And just remember, you like to pee in the same place also. You know, if you have to ponder reasons.

When it comes to city living New Yorkers seem to have plenty to complain about: littering, garbage, sewage smell, noise, roaches. But what you complain about most could depend on where you live.
Researchers at NYU's Furman Center decided to look into breaking down complaints to 311 by neighborhood. The Summer of 311 compiles complaints from July and August 2012.
Bad drivers have people riled up in SoHo. Graffiti was tops in Long Island City. Throughout the city broken street lights were a major source of complaints. In Harlem some of the biggest issues were vermin and loud noise.
There were some surprises. In the northwest corner of the Bronx, people complained about noise from the ice cream truck. In Ocean Parkway South, the city logged a lot of calls about dead animals.
Ben Gross, one of the researchers who sifted through the data, says that while the map may be interesting it also points to important inequities between neighborhoods.
"It's the rougher neighborhoods, the less affluent neighborhoods in the city that are really having the biggest problems and need the most attention and I think this map does a great job of highlighting that," Gross says.

The National Heirloom Exposition is gaining incredible interest among home growers, farmers, school groups and the general public–so much so that it is shaping up to be the "World's Fair" of the heirloom industry! This is a not-for-profit event, and any funds generated will be donated back to school gardens and food programs. The event will run for three days, September 13, 14 and 15, 2011.
"I liked earning about the value of fermented foods to our health, how easy and economical they are to make at home. Getting a chance to taste different products was important. There was a positive energy, which I enjoyed. People were empowered as they learned what they could do themselves."
The first symposium and fermentation feast on Friday May 20th at Shone Farm was attended by nearly 100 people who enjoyed a most informative and interesting afternoon and evening. More news coming here soon …
1st Place: GTs Trilogy
2nd: Bucha
3rd: House Kombucha
All tied in 4th with the same amount of votes: Revive, Kombucha Botanica, and Cultured
