Hello? Any Republicans out there? Cheney proved that you CAN go after Obama and WIN. So let’s go....
So it is ok to be racist and sexist as long as you're not a white male?
By all means lets do. The Supreme Court rejected 60% of her opinions. That means her grade is a 40. That's an F.
She is a racist, her words and rulings prove that point. If no one wants to make it, then so be it.
But it changes nothing, she is a racist.
“Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

The only conclusions this woman seems to be capable of reaching are sonsistently wrong.
What a pathetic nominee. So our background determines the application of constitutional law?????
And Gibbs is a joke.
” . . . actually look at her honest-to-God record” (Gibbs)
Does she have a record that is honest to God? Does Gibbs?
The statement is logically indefensible. But, of course, that won’t stop the anointed one and his band of thieves from intimidating anyone who questions his wisdom in selecting this activist pseudo-judge for appointment to the highest court in the land.
The body of her work of which we’ve been apprised clearly describes an activist approach, and a mindset that the Constitution should be interpreted as a living document, subject to the supposed changing times. Neither of those notions supports her appointment, IMO.
It remains to be seen whether the pubbies will find the stones to properly and vociferously challenge this unqualified nominee.
"I abhor less or discount less"? "may and will make a difference"? That is liberal gibberish. Emotions driving actions, fake adherence to principles when there are none, just the whim of the day. Words obviously mean nothing to her so what about the words of the Constitution?
there can never be a universal definition of wise,” she added.

I thought she was a Catholic. Apparently she wasn’t listening in CCD classes.
THAT was dumber than the statement everyone’s talking about.
I mean REALLY dumb, as in unformed conscience dumb; as in a Catholic supporting abortion, euthanasia, universal (limited only to healthy genetics) health care dumb.
where were obama and his ilk when they were shredding justice Thomas? (rhetorical)
notice that they are already trying to frame any detractors of the “wise latina woman” by WARNING THEM OF CRITICISM
funny how if one criticizes based on the “wise latina woman’s” own words, the racism mud is thrown.
Uh... that's the problem... we HAVE been looking at her record... and it is lacking...
"....First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise...,”
....I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.”
Well, I'll tell you what, Gordita, where to begin?
1. Who cares what Martha Minnow says, whoever she is?
2. If there isn't a universal definition of "wise", (actually most sane people could agree on one I'm sure)neither is there one of "richness" How dare you dismiss other people experience out of hand? Moreover, I don't concur that many of the illiterate, violent, ignorant, irresponsible people in inner city ghettoes have a "rich" experience that I need in my life. Try "pathetic" or "dysfunctional" Those in the ghettoes and barrios who live a decent life do so because their values are congruent with middle class people--so their similarities to the mainstream, not their "diversity" helps them.
3. So it's a "wise Latina woman" but just a "white male" ?(and no mention of wisdom for him). That terminology is no accident. This narcissistic halfwit can take her "rich" experiences and put 'em where the sun don't shine.
Lastly, just because some past Justice voted against your group doesn't mean they were wrong. You might not like it, but TS.
“I think we can all move past YouTube snippets and half-sentences and actually look at her honest-to-God record,”
We have, it stinks.
“Justice O’Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases,” said Sotomayor.”
If wisdom is a deciding factor then Sotonmayor is unqualified.
her racism was on the top front page of the wsj yesterday.
I’m beginning to think that she can’t even speak Spanish, because no one who does would say “Latina woman”. Spanish nouns and adjectives have genders — “Latina” is feminine, no need to say “woman”.
