Vanity: Affirmative Action Debate - Sotomayor Displays Ignorance
Vanity ^
Posted on 11/02/2022 8:27:49 AM PDT by TigerClaws
In a discussion over affirmative action, Sotomayor ironically shows she doesn't know the basic difference between "de facto" and "de jure."
It's not a slip of the tongue, they go back and forth, Alito tries to correct her and she proceeds to make the same mistake.
TOPICS: Government
KEYWORDS: defacto; dejure

Tucker covered this last night but not seeing a 'media' discussion of it.
Ironically, he ignorance was displayed in a discussion of Affirmative Action - something of which she is a prime example.
Posted as "VANITY" because it is not yet a 'news story' - whatever that means these days.

duh, she is only there because of affirmative action!
To: TigerClaws
It’s not ignorance.
It’s, at best, cognitive dissonance, but, more likely, willful blindness because she has no business being where she is.

Isn’t she the one who made a racist pitch for why she should be on SCOTUS?

Ya Gotta Call it Something! Thanks for posting. This isn’t going to be a news item. Never. Even. Happened.
On the other hand, where’s the Pelosi hammer guy’s photo wearing a red hat ? Still waiting.

she doesn't know the basic difference between "de facto" and "de jure." So? Neither did I until yesterday.
Oh, wait, I'm not sitting on the Supreme Court, nor did I go to law school..... Nevermind

It looks like “the wise Latina with the compelling life story” turned out to be an idiot.

Maybe she was “The Leaker”, which is why they don’t reveal it.

She and Jackson are perfect examples of the idiocy of affirmative action. It is a shame that it is so obvious.
