RUSH: So listen up. The Drive-By Media, AP, reporting that I referred to Sonia Sotomayor as a "reverse racist" and Obama as a "reverse racist," which I did. I stand by it. I have an audio sound bite from Sonia Sotomayor and a quote from a speech that she made in a separate occasion to illustrate the point. Here's the sound bite. SOTOMAYOR: All of the legal defense funds out there, they're looking for people with Court of Appeals experience because it is -- Court of Appeals is where policy is...

RUSH: The Power Line guys, John Hinderaker, Scott Johnson and Paul Mirengoff have an interesting post from yesterday. "The idea that President Obama's supporters trust him precisely because they believe that he frequently misrepresents his own beliefs is becoming more widespread. My friend Bob Cunningham was one of the first to explicate this phenomenon," and yesterday he sent his thoughts to Power Line. Now, this is key 'cause there's a companion story following this, so listen up. "It has long...

Hey, first time home-school family dittos. I've got a question about the two remaining axis of evils. Within the last month we've heard of Iran shooting their long-term (sic) missiles and yesterday with North Korea detonating their nuclear device. What do they have to prove by doing this? It's a two-part question. Are...

RUSH: Monica in St. Louis, you're next, great to have you on the EIB Network.CALLER: Hi. Thanks. I think the Supreme Court decision is one of the most important things that Obama's going to do in his presidency, and it's so important that it seems to me that if a true conservative wanted to distinguish himself and come out, as you might say, this would be the time for he or she to really come out in whatever way you can and publicize the fact that they are so opposed to this woman and why, and,...

RUSH: We'll start in Chicago with Lee. Great that you called. Nice to have you on the EIB Network.CALLER: Thanks, Rush. I think this is the perfect time for you to start your teaching tour and for Republicans to start your teaching tour with the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, to explain to the American people why originalist justices are the only option because I think that attacking Sotomayor directly is going to make the Republicans look as the bad guys rather than proactively taking a step...

RUSH: Now, I've checked my e-mail at home since the Sunday shows. They had General Powell on Face the Nation Sunday. Tom Ridge was on CNN on Sunday morning.

I mean, he wanted to be on this program in 2003, Tom Ridge out there saying I'm too shrill and I need to dial it back and all these other things. But I need to ask the question: Who's really changed? I've been who I am for 20 years. When it comes...

It's precisely because I'm the one doing the heavy lifting against them.""I doubt that Sotomayor can be stopped, but she should be. She isa horrible pick.
