EDITORIAL: Sotomayor plays the race card
'Inherent physiological differences' as a legal standard

A biased judge should not be promoted to a higher court. Yet the Obama administration has not been able to put to rest fears that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor might let ethnic grievances sway her decisions on the bench.
That's exactly what it appears Judge Sotomayor did in the Ricci v. DeStefano case, in which she ruled that white firefighters could be denied promotions they clearly had earned.
That's why it is worth revisiting the Supreme Court nominee's infamous "wise Latina" speech. The renewed focus on that speech should center on two highly objectionable lines that have not received enough attention.
The most quoted sentence from the speech in question, as published in the spring 2002 issue of Berkeley La Raza Law Journal, is that "a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion that a white male who hasn't lived that life." That statement alone is troubling.
It suggests that ethnicity trumps the facts and the law. She repeated that line, or variations of it, in at least seven other speeches.

When push comes to shove...
When a racist has run out of everything else...
She doesn’t have to play any cards at all. All she has to do is show up, nod her head, and smile. Her confirmation is guaranteed by the quality of the American voters we now have.
“Plays”?
That’s the only card she has!
That “quality of American voters” was on full display today at the Michael Jackson memorial services. People that obviously don’t worry about work and are so stupid as to be crying over MJ. BO voters all of them.
She is as racist as you can get belonging to La Raza, which is more racist than the KKK.
For the race everything, for everyone else nothing!
She isn’t qualified to hold any government position or job!
In honor of her racism I like to think of her as “Soda Cracker”, pronouncing the Cracker in French accent, like Craquer.
