You can’t judge a judge by her cover.
Despite the best efforts of Republicans to root out any sign that Sonia Sotomayor has emotions that color her views on the law, the Bronx Bomber kept a robotic mask in place.
A wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not know that a gaggle of white Republican men afraid of extinction are out to trip her up.
After all, these guys have never needed to speak inspirational words to others like them, as Sotomayor has done. They’ve had codes, handshakes and clubs to do that.
So when Republican Senator Jon Kyl, without so much as a howdy-do, went at Sotomayor, and soon was asking her if she agreed with Barack Obama’s contention, when he voted against John Roberts, that a judge’s heart is important, the would-be justice was as adroit as her idol Nancy Drew.
“No, sir,” she said, indicating that the only bleeding-heart thing about her was the color of her jacket. She added that “it’s not the heart that compels conclusions in cases. It’s the law.”
President Obama wants Sotomayor, naturally, to bring a fresh perspective to the court. It was a disgrace that W. appointed two white men to a court stocked with white men. And Sotomayor made it clear that she provides some spicy seasoning to a bench when she said in a speech: “I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging, but I accept there will be some based on gender and my Latina heritage.”
The judge’s full retreat from the notion that a different life experience is valuable was more than necessary and somewhat disappointing.

The lily white liberal cocktail party circuit will no doubt be pleased with Dowd’s piece.
MoDo gone Skitz-O!
Its time to name Democrats as they are:
Democrats hate Hispanics
Miguel Estrada was the first higher court apppointment blocked by congressional filibuster.
A 2002 Democrat memo in June:
“identified Miguel Estrada as especially dangerous, because he has a minimal paper trail,
he is Latino, and the White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court
appointment.
Yeah. Not as often as they bust the head of an untrained user.
Hey, a tire iron can bust someone's head too. Let's ban those.
They are all wolves in sheeps clothing...with sheep brains.
Extinction, indeed. Must be a LaRaza member.
