Should Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor be charged with lying to Congressional Committee?

Sonia Sotomayor, in her confirmation hearings stated that she viewed the second amendment as an absolute right for law abiding citizens to own guns, but when the first Supreme Court case hit the bench it was on upholding 2nd amendment rights in Chicago and she signed with the dissension opinion. Obviously she lied to a congressional committee and that is a crime for which many have been charged.

    She is a dem, a woman, and a minority. She can say what she wants and not be held accountable. Think of all the stories O told prior to becoming president. How many lies has he told? Lying to congress is okay if it is for a good cause.

    That's a stretch even for a relative uninformed person. An absolute right to own guns does not mean restrictions such as gun registration and other methods to ensure that mentally ill persons and criminals can't have as much access.

    Washington insider politics, nothing ever changes no matter how much we want it to. You have to VOTE for change that we want, not the change that we are currently getting.
