Real Clear Politics ^ | June 17, 2009 | Real Clear Politics

"I found in my experiences that it's not that men are consciously discriminating against promoting women, but I do believe as people we have self-images about what's good," Sonia Sotomayor told ABC's "Good Morning America" in a 1986 interview.

"What's quote-unquote a 'good' lawyer, doctor, or whatever the profession is. And if you're a male who grew up professionally in a male-dominated profession then your image of what a good lawyer is is a male image."

Sonia, if that is true, it just doesn’t work that way for just white guys. we’re all people, if that is true, then everyone does it.

No, a judge considers a case on its merits not the skin color or ethnicity of the sides. Not just a good judge, not just IMO, but that is what a judge IS.

Anyone, man or woman senses when a person has a chip on their shoulder. Sotomayor transmits that characteristic in spades. When women pick up on it, they quietly hope it trips them up(that competitive thing). When men pick up on it, they do what they can to keep them from doing any harm. I am amazed she got as far as she did. She must have found an unique work environment to allow her to go as far as she did.

You are right. Everyone is included and it's only the ones that truly learn from those experiences that they can move forward.

Miss La Raza apparently got stuck on stupid that only allows her to apply her own prejudices rather practice real law.

She is so wrong

Republicans should be screaming about this to high heaven, giving it more play.

Lets hope the public will turn on her, and demand her dismissal.

On your last point: it goes even further beyond what you say.

It’s not that her own prejudices apply w/r/t practicing law,

in her case, she’s saying how they are an asset to her, and make her better than others (in particular white guys).

Her prejudices are an asset, white peoples’ are biases and evil. If you’re a minority, your prejudices are beneficial, but if you’re white, they’re illegal.
