I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow

As noted here by Curt, the recent SCOTUS ruling caused quite a dustup. Sonia Sotomayor is inclined to shooting her mouth off without thinking. She did it in this ruling and she's done it in the past, and each time she reminds us of the poor decision it was to put her on the Court.
In the most recent ruling Sotomayor, employing the Al Sharpton method of association, essentially called the people of Michigan racists:
Sotomayor, in her dissent, opened by describing three stages of "the majority" discriminating against racial minorities in the political process, beginning with the Jim Crow laws that flouted the 15th Amendment."This time, although it allowed the minority access to the political process, the majority changed the ground rules of the process so as to make it more difficult for the minority, and the minority alone, to obtain policies designed to foster racial integration," she wrote. "Although these political restructurings may not have been discriminatory in purpose, the Court reaffirmed the right of minority members of our society to participate meaningfully and equally in the political process. This case involves this last chapter of discrimination."
Then she immediately had to walk it back:
"I of course do not mean to suggest that Michigan’s voters acted with anything like the invidious intent of those who historically stymied the rights of racial minorities,"
But of course she did. It's undeniable. Now let's crank up the wayback machine for some predictions:
As I said, it's not first time she's blathered something out that she probably should not have let escape. Back in 2009 when asked a question about the difference between Federal District and Appeals Courts she blurted out:
“Court of Appeals is where policy is made. And, I know, and I know that this is on tape and I should never say that. Because we don’t ‘make law,’ I know. Okay, I know. I know. I’m not promoting it, and I’m not advocating it. I’m, you know.”
Mark Impomeni then remarks:
What we know is that Sotomayor realized immediately that her words could jeopardize her chances at a Supreme Court nomination sometime in the future, so she does her best to restore the veil of secrecy she just tore down. But her tone of voice and gestures make clear that Sotomayor does not believe a word of what she is saying. The audience’s laughter proves that the message was sent loud and clear. Every student at that forum walked out secure in the knowledge that Sotomayor believes courts should make policy, but that they should never talk about that publicly.If Sotomayor really believes that her role as an unelected justice on the Supreme Court should be to decide policy questions, then that should be a topic of discussion in her confirmation hearings. But as her half-hearted cover-up shows, Sotomayor does not want to be as honest about her view of the Court’s role as she does about how gender and ethnicity influence judicial ability. Like all liberal activists, Sotomayor wants to hide her true intentions behind politically correct rhetoric. In short, she is willing to lie to gain power, after which she will do as she pleases.
Liberals got all hot and bothered when some on the media referred to Sotomayor as a liberal:

South Carolina and Tennessee ... please wrap the 'Wide Latino' around the necks of Lindsey and Lamar! in the primary!
was their any doubt she wouldn’t? Not a question of “if” but when
If she were a white guy, she’d never have been accepted into any law school.
Remember the Connecticut fire fighters who passed the promotion exam and then were told nobody would get promotions because no minorities passed? Sonya Sotomayor voted against giving them promotions...and then didn’t publish an opinion in order to make it harder to overturn...she is disgusting.
These people always whine that "the playing field is not level." The playing field is not level? When has the playing field ever been level in the history of the world? By that standard, I, who grew up with considerably less bennies than the Kennedys and Rockefellers, should be granted all sorts of undeserved bennies like the minorities. I don't deserve them, and neither do they.

We still have “a bunch of folks,” (to use a Haaaaaavud educated Obama phrase), that desperately hang onto the racial hatreds of the 1960’s: for example, Revs. Sharpton and Jackson.
For them, nothing has changed since the pre 1960’s, and so they make a living by race-baiting with speeches, accusations, and of course, arm in arm “marches.”
To them, they receive with deaf ears the statement: “If you accuse someone of being a racist, and do NOT back it up with facts, - - - - - - - - - - - then you just might be a racist.”
RE: Sotomayor shows her true colors
Only those who are deliberately blind or ignorant would not have known her true colors when Obama first recommended her.
The same can be said of those who voted for or ignored Obama’s background when he first ran in 2008.
Sonia can show whatever colors she wants. She has a lifetime appointment. Elections have consequences. Remember that when you see a Rino running for reelection this primary season.
yikes but funny
what... MUD???
Thanks Starman417.
Racism is a business for people like Al Sharpton.
Sotomayor is a racist, liberal piglet.

Sad, but true. They cannot let go of their “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder” of past traumas, so they mine their PTSD to line their pockets.
