Latino legal activists applauded Sotomayor's appointment. "This is a historic moment," said Cesar Perales, executive director of LatinoJustice PRLDEF, a New York-based civil rights group, where Sotomayor once served as a board member. "This is the most important Hispanic appointment that has been made in this country's history.

“This is a historic moment,”.....
America may not survive another so called radical left “historic moment”....
No one should care what race/ethnicity anyone is. Isn’t that what we have been told?
You mean like when President Bush nominated Miguel Estrada?
Bush was a dufus......
“During her years on the organization’s board during the 1980s, the organization, then known as the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, focused its efforts on the creation of majority-Hispanic voting districts and the defense of bilingual education programs.”
That describes what’s happening to the entire country!
BTW, I saw her talk about her mother, brothers, etc...no mention of husband or children.....are we getting a ‘gay’ activist as well?

You mean making a first world nation into a very controllable third world state...oh yes, that’s what Obama wants to do...”fairness” as an abstract and although failed cultures, ideas, policies and governments bring poverty and despair, bring on Marxist Latin ideals here...
MORON(S)!
Childless divorcee.
Thanks.
