Conservative Hispanic Evangelical Group Endorses Sotomayor (Sad)

A conservative and controversial Evangelical Hispanic group today officially endorsed the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court -- an indication that many right-leaning Hispanics are breaking ranks with other mainstream Republicans on the issue.

Called the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and Christian Leaders, the group is made up of 20,000 Evangelical Hispanic churches, and is best known for its controversial call for illegal immigrants to boycott the 2010 Census.

On the group's blog, the leader of the group, Rev. Miguel Rivera, credited Sotomayor for being a " measured jurist with bedrock family values."

"She is not a judicial activist who seeks to impose a particular outcome based on her beliefs, but rather a judicious jurist who applies established law to the cases before her. CONLAMIC is confident that she has a restrained approach to the law," he said in the statement.

Apparently someone's race makes them awesome.

How sad to see Christians applaud someone because of their ancestry.

We’ve already seen this. My grandmother is friends with a conservative, black pastor. He voted for big ears. I can’t explain it other than anything, but race.

I’m Hispanic. I’ve never heard of them. Who the heck are they?

I guess what matters most today is race.

How quick they will condemn us if we run candidates based upon “whiteness.”

RIP America

It seems ok for all groups to base behavior on race, except whites. Yet whites are supposed to be the only racists. Go figure.

It would be really funny if she turned out to be a big pro-lifer.

And if she should get on how many Catholics would that put on the court?

Exactly what do they know that we don’t know? I personally think that Sotomayor is probably going to disappoint the far left as frequently as not. She isn’t a Ruth Bader Ginsberg or even a Souter. I think that endorsing her is not worthwhile. The Democrats are going to confirm her no matter what, let them without one conservative vote. They deserve nothing less given their treatment of our nominees if for nothing else.

You nailed it. No conservative group could endorse Sotomayor. She is the epitome of a leftist, judicial activist.

They are pro- illegal immigration, and I would guess, pro-amnesty.

They believe citizens and illegals have a right to have the State pay for all their medical and educational needs.

I wouldn’t call them conservative, though they hold to a couple or three social conservative principles.

Look at the bright side. This endorsement will drive the Kos Kommeez, the DUmmies, the NutRoots in general and their Beltway enablers into an epic tiz, since this means she’s obviously one-a them there anti-Choice zealots, lol.

Race and Racists seem to be the only real political power these days. I wonder if that will ever sink in with the whites or has guilt replaced pride because of our school indoctrination system. When is the last time your kid came home proud of anything a white guy accomplished, like founding our nation.

I’m white and proud of it. I just think its funny that I get labeled racist because I tell the truth. I’d vote for a conservative black before I would a radical white. Though anymore it seems that wouldn’t matter because black is black and white is white. Either that or my grandmother’s friend is a liar.

Protestant evangelicalism is a relatively small percentage of the Hispanic population. The vast majority of Hispanics are Catholic. And the vast majority also voted for Obama.
