Examiner Columnist | 6/30/09 5:55 AM News fairly unbalanced. We report. You decipher.
President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, announced today she may sue her potential future colleagues for racial bias over yesterday's 5-4 ruling that overturned her own decision in the New Haven fire fighters discrimination lawsuit.
The Supreme Court ruled in Ricci v. DeStefano Monday that an employer could not throw out the results of a promotion exam simply for fear of a lawsuit from racial minorities who fared poorly on the test.
Sotomayor accused the high court's "Constitutional literalists" of bias and an "abject lack of wisdom" in tossing out the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals' prior ruling in the case which she joined.
"In their majority ruling in Ricci, Justices Roberts, Alito, Kennedy, Scalia and Thomas failed to take into account the cultural forces exerted on a Latina appeals court judge," said Sotomayor. "Historical, entrenched institutional prejudice can cause a person, even a wise Latina, to make emotional decisions which, while consistent with the cultural norms of the aggrieved ethnic group, might not comport entirely with the specific language of the Constitution -- a document of questionable practical value due to the Anglo-Saxon cultural bias of its authors."
Sotomayor said she hopes the threat of a lawsuit will be enough to persuade the Supreme Court to reverse its ruling.
"The court's rejection of my opinion proves, ipso facto, the kind of bias that President Obama will eliminate by placing me on the court," she said. "The all-male, non-Latino court majority lacks the sympathy to set aside the cold rationality of the Constitution for the good of the people."
Had me going there ....
Satire today, headline news tomorrow.
brutal :)
Satire today, headline news tomorrow.
Yep, the world is outside down. I feel like I may have eaten some magic mushrooms or some such.
I wish I could think up stuff like this. Seriously funny! I loved it.
LOL! What’s that thing. “Onion?”
lulz.
It is getting VERY hard to tell the difference between satire and fact now that we live in Barry’s Wonderful World of Color.
Wow, I was really getting angry. Satire holds a little bit of truth. LOL
Not once did NPR mention Sotamayor's name in connection with this case.
I'm sure if the SC had ruled the other way, NPR would have been crowing Sotamayor's name.
It is Scrappleface but Scott Ott now publishes on The Washington Examiner too.
If it were true, and she lost, obi-one would tell the SC to change their ruling. And some of them would want to obey.
Dang, I been got! LOL
I was going to post that I was praying this was satire. Come to think of it, I’m still praying this is satire!
“...the Constitution — a document of questionable practical value...”
This does indeed happen to be our President’s own belief — he has, in fact, referred to the U.S.Constitution as a “flawed document”.
It seems to be his opinion of Honduras’ Constitution, as well.
Ahh,, but if liberals could have their own uncontested utopia this satire could be their reality. Then again, if they were never ‘Victimized’ their whole utopia would come crashing down. So they need us conservative ‘perps’ to hang around as punching bags do.
Whewwww!
Got my blood boiling there.
Shame on you. Bad bad Servant. Go to your room! :>)
He’s got a great ear!
