Cannot understand; why/how. ..it is; that the La Raza is only mentioned in passing when it comes to ‘judging’ Sotomayor. All attention being focused on her ‘Latina woman’ judgment comment. The La Raza connection is as threatening; if not moreso.
La Raza, like Obama, wants to turn the US back into a third world sewer. Sotomayor is the perfect pick to assist in doing this....
WTH is going on?!
I’ve also been wondering, both Souter and Sotomayor are single. Is this the closeted gay seat? I’m not even knocking it (yet) I’m just asking.

what is la raza? is it just an organization for latinos? if so, what is wrong with that?
a member for only 6 years? I’d think it would have been longer.
ok, thanks for schooling me. more socialism
Get used to it. There has traditionally been a Jewish seat (now there are Ginsburg & Breyer). Starting with Thurgood Marshall, there was an expectation of a black seat. When Ginsburg leaves, there will have to be someone to fill the ACLU seat. Now we have a “Latina” seat (if there’s a difference, we may need a “Hispanic” seat as well). Add a gay seat and eventually a Muslim seat, and a “majority” of the Court will be guaranteed to be “minorities.” We’ll be reduced to agitating for a token honky hetero male seat.
La Raza means "The Race". Their motto is, (translated) For the Race Everything, for Others Nothing. For La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.
It's about a racist as you can get. Sotomayor is/was a member. Those comments about a "wise Latina" didn't appear out of thin air.
You mean she isn’t still a member?
When you take this information with her ruling in the New Haven case and her statement (made twice) that a Hispanic woman would make better decisions than a white man, the only conclusion that one can draw is that Soni Sotomayor is a racist.
So now she’s not? Yeah, right.
LaRaza with a foothold on the Supreme Court. Just sad.
I have heard that although "la raza" literally means "the race", this expression is usually used to mean "the people", and thus is not necessarily a racist expression. Perhaps someone who knows more about Spanish idioms can comment.
Please especially note the warning at the end. Misleading about them, or confusing the NCLR with other groups or concepts with similar names only helps them. I've seen many people help them by making those mistakes.
