La Raza in the Supreme Court. Great. (Did anybody in the hearings ask her about her membership in this racist organization?)
Remember, racism only counts when it is the racism of “whitey” — all other ethnic groups get a free pass.
My stupid senator, Voinovich voted Yay. He should’ve put a D in front of his name years ago. Thank God, he’s going out to pasture in 2010 - retiring. He votes with the Dems most of the time. What a useless pos. He used to be our governor here in Ohio, and wasn’t any good at that either. Hope we get a good conservative to fill his seat next year.
Nope. Not a peep.
As President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee comes under heavy fire for allegedly being a “racist,” Judge Sonia Sotomayor is listed as a member of the National Council of La Raza, a group that’s promoted driver’s licenses for illegal aliens, amnesty programs, and no immigration law enforcement by local and state police.
According the American Bar Association, Sotomayor is a member of the NCLR, which bills itself as the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.
Meaning “the Race,” La Raza also has connections to groups that advocate the separation of several southwestern states from the rest of America.
Over the past two days, Sotomayor has been heavily criticized for her racially charged statement: “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
The remark was actually made during a 2001 speech at the University of California’s Berkeley School of Law. The lecture was published the following year in the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal.
