LIDDY: Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then.

Maybe it’s OK if female Supreme Court Justices are post-menopausal?  Or have no feelings or sentiments at all?

Even if the conservative crazies are energizing the base or perhaps helping to raise money for strapped right-wing organizations, these sorts of attacks don’t seem to be having much effect on Republican senators, who are the ones who have to vote on the nomination.

As ThinkProgress reports:

Last night, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) called the attacks “terrible” and “wrong.” Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) was asked if he agreed with Newt Gingrich’s characterization of Sotomayor as a “Latina woman racist.” “No, I don’t agree with that,” Hatch replied.
