I bet that if this were a newspaper with even a slight conservative slant that the media would be all over it.

because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.

I don't think Thomas does represent the views of mainstream black America.....which is a good thing....he represents high class black America......

What jerks.

Thomas should tell them to kiss his asterisk.

The Milwaukee Urinal ranks right up there with the best Communist rags in America.

Thats all right. The ACLU and the NAACP will be along to protect his rights any minute now.

Liberals think that "real blacks" are only those who live down to their expectations.

"because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America."

Good.

He is not supposed to.

He is supposed to represent the Constitution of the United States. They really do think the court is there to impose a liberal version of law on society. One that Thomas should have only because he is black. Do they want Scallia to represent his heritage? Would they have wanted Renquist to represent his background? One sided liberal bigots.

It appears that the liberal media are the politically correct KKK these days.

So by virtue of one's "blackness," independent thinking is forbidden?

It appears Newsmax doesn't have a spell checker any more.

"lessens the nation's rich diversity,"

Any policy, law, regulation, or political appointment made that runs counter to maintaining the culture and value system that made this country great is the moral equivalent of national suicide. That includes judicial appointments having the primary purpose of representing our country's diversity. It is absurd to award, recognize and/ or perpetuate any cultural characteristic or philosophy that is clearly inferior to those ideals and values that created the magnet that draws these people to our country.

[Lizavetta]

"In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman, and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America."

By their own logic then, all the white dudes on the Supreme Court SHOULD represent the views of mainstream white America.

Right?

I guess that makes the Journal-Sentinel a newspaper*

So, if President Bush nominated a white conservative female would they label her a White Woman with an * ???
