SONIA SOTOMAYOR, ASSOCIATE JUSTICE, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT: Ah, a very complicated question. After becoming a lawyer and judge of two courts, before going to the Supreme Court, the greatest difficulty is the expectation of others that, because I was Latina, I didn’t have the intelligence to be able to do this job. I don't know if you know that during this process of confirmation to the Supreme Court there were many who said, ´she does not have the intelligence to do this job well.’ There are many who have changed their minds about that, with the passage of time.

SONIA SOTOMAYOR, ASSOCIATE JUSTICE, UNITED STATES Supreme Court: I am not supposed to speak about politics, but that question I will answer: no. Puerto Rico still needs a lot of help. The sadness of the island is her former beauty that we have to achieve again, but we need a lot of help to do it and it is not being received.

Maybe the "help" is not going where it should?

No, SotoMinor, we did not think you lacked the intelligence for the job because you are Latina, we thought you lacked the intelligence for the job because you lack the intelligence for the job.

The wise Latino... isn’t personally wise, nor does she appear law abiding.

Wise Latina looks like death warmed over. She has type 1 diabetes and is very overweight (fat). She also looks bloated (retaining water).

Her kidneys are probably starting to fail and she could also be in the beginning stages of congestive heart failure.

Wise Latina is only 63 years old. 85 year old Ruth Buzzi may just outlive her.

Liberals such as her, set up that straw man, and knock it down.

Who said she wasn’t smart enough or capable enough, because she was Latina? Who? I want some examples from her. I seriously doubt that ever happened.

Puerto Rico dug the financial pit it is currently in. It can dig itself back out with no help from the USA.

Rampant corruption is not to be rewarded by American taxpayers.

Wasn’t it the Democrats that shot down Henrietta Meirs nomination which would have been the first female latino on the high court?

We just think she’s dumb for no other reason that she’s a left wing tool.

When asked, Sotameyer give the precedent legal basis for self defense. She is a joke.

LOL, there would be so many Rat heads exploding, the gore would cause a public health crisis!

Thousands of exploded rat carcasses, public health officials might have to consider mass graves.

Actually Sotameyor is a very learned scholar of the law and constitution. The only problem is she is a far left wing political activist that has no respect for constitutional law. She sees her position as to make up law from whole cloth. In effect she sees her position as legislative and not judicial. She is not worthy to be a Supreme.

what is a Latina?

PC rules dictate we refer to female-identifying latin American women as latinx. So, get with it, Sotomayor. Can’t say it’s not ok to call women ‘miss’ and then insist it’s ok to say ‘miss’ as long as it’s said in a foreign language. Or we could throw the rule, the fake racist outrage, out and go back to saying ‘miss’ and ‘lady’ in English, too.
