Weirdest Sotomayor Endorsement Ever

By GottaLaff

David Corn has a tasty tidbit:

One email from the White House listed a slew of positive comments about Sotomayor. They came from former and current judges who have worked with her, Republican Senator Olympia Snow (who has called the nominee "well qualified"), New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, a bunch of legal scholars, and Larry Klayman. Yes, Larry Klayman. Ring a bell? He's best known--or infamous--for having been an overly litigious conservative crusader who, through his Judicial Watch outfit, hurled numerous lawsuits against Clintonites during the 1990s.

Klayman was no average self-proclaimed rightwing avenger. He came across to many as--how to say this politely and non-libelously?--bonkers. [...]

But now Klayman is just jake with the Obama White House. In addition to touting the comments of those highly credentialed Sotomayor advocates, the White House is making use of Klayman's support of Sotomayor. That email cites a Klayman statement--which the White House noted that it had received via an email from NBC correspondent Chuck Todd--in which the former Clinton-chaser says,

While I would have liked to see a more conservative libertarian type on the high court, President Obama's selection of New York federal appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayer, was a very prudent and wise decision from a far left liberal like Obama. Having initially been appointed to the bench by President George H. W. Bush, soon to be justice Sotomayer has previously pledged to follow the Constitution, and not legislate from the bench, and her career as a federal court judge suggests, as a whole, that this is the way she will administer to the law. It is also great to have a highly qualified Latina on the bench. The Latin culture, with its emphasis on family and family values, will be a welcome addition, as an understanding of real life relationships is important for any jurist.

[...] The Obama White House certainly likes to transcend ideology and partisanship. Hooking up with Klayman is taking this to a new--and bizarre--level.

Bizarre, indeed. Oh, sorry... "bonkers".
