Perry Blows Correct Count of Supreme Court Justices…Plus One Key Name

DES MOINES (AP) — Presidential contender Rick Perry said there are eight Supreme Court justices, not nine, and flubbed Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s (SOHN’-ya soh-toh-my-YOR’) name in an editorial board meeting at The Des Moines Register.
Perry met with the board Friday. He struggled for six seconds to come up with Sotomayor’s name, then initially called the justice “Montemayor.” A member of the newspaper’s editorial board helped him out with the correct name.
He went on to criticize “eight unelected and frankly unaccountable judges.” Nine justices sit on the Supreme Court. They are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
Similar gaffes have plagued Perry. On Thursday in South Carolina, he corrected himself after saying the U.S. is at war in Iran instead of Iraq.

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 8:38amNow I am not a Perry for President fan. However, he is right there is only one judge on the supreme count that is accountable and elected (as far as electing a supreme court justice goes). Justice Thomas is the only Supreme Court Justice that went through proper vetting. I will go one step further and say he went through unnecessary taunting and badgering by the left Senate. If was disgraceful. Watch the hearing. It will make your stomach turn. This is why I defend Herman Cain, and Sarah Palin. When the left gets its teeth in, they are ruthless.
His other comment on Sotomayor’s name. LOL……..

Posted on December 10, 2011 at 5:13pmThere is a reason I never claimed “perfect” people exist–they don’t. However, I would venture to guess that every other Republican candidate would have no problem naming all 9 Supreme Court justices.
Rick Perry has shown time and time again that he does not even have a very basic understanding of our system of government, our history, and the key players in the government today. Therefore, I don’t really care what a “good ol’ boy” he is, he doesn’t deserve to be president.

Perry messed this one up big time.
By the way, to all those that will inevitably compare this to the famous “57 states” quote by President Obama–There is a difference between misspeaking and just not knowing the answer. If you watch the whole video, it is apparent the President meant to say 47 and misspoke. I am even willing to believe Perry misspoke when he said 8 instead of 9 justices.
HOWEVER, to not even know the name of one of the most recently appointed justices is simply unforgivable. This man has no business running for president.
