Washington, DC—The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) expressed today its frustration over President Bush’s nomination of Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the U.S. Supreme Court. This is the third opportunity Bush has missed to diversify the court by not naming a Hispanic to the seat. It is clear to LULAC officials that Bush has misled the Hispanic community by not keeping his promise of being a Hispanic-friendly president in the courts.
The actions of the Bush Administration unequivocally demonstrate a president with only a political interest in the Hispanic community. During the president’s first term, the numbers of Hispanic appointments rose to 10%. Since then, the numbers have waned. Furthermore, Bush has not moved forward with a comprehensive immigration reform plan and has neglected the opportunity to end the 216-year shut out of Latinos on the Supreme Court – a major let down to the Hispanic community.
LULAC will closely research Samuel A. Alito’s record and encourage a thorough and vigorous confirmation process. To educate the Latino community, LULAC will develop a Diversity Score Card on Judicial Appointments that will examine Bush’s commitment to diversity.

He also missed another opportunity to nominate a Slavic judge but I'm not going to hold it against him. Besides. HE'S GOT THREE MORE YEARS LEFT! There are going to be more "opportunities." Yee Haw!!!
There they go again, confusing the high court with the useless UN.
I think it's because Souter is a mental midget. So we're covered.
They should remember what happened to Estrada. Was this group upset then?
That's right; they're bean counters. They want more beans.
Racists.
Not to mention a quadriplegic lesbian, an Asian-African, and a tri-gender Native American.
Bush just shafts everybody, doesn't he?
(/sarcasm)
Worst of all, he missed a chance to put me on the court.
BUSH HATES ME!!!!!

After all, lots of their words end in vowels, they both have great music, they use lots of tomatos in their cooking and they love to dance.
This Latino association should be happy that the good judge is Italian, not a Liechtensteiner, ach!

Well, I'm a chick and he didn't even ask me if I wanted the post. Clearly he's a sexist.
And he looks like a chimp.

I applaud whatever DUmmie came up with that name. It's the best one Ive seen come out of the swamp. Quite creative.

He'll get another chance....I'm betting Ginsburg can't last 3 more years.
