Any sentient being (but not every Republican senator) knew these were her views before she was confirmed. Her comments prove that the "stereotypes" about her are TRUE.

""I don't borrow Chief Justice Roberts's description of what colorblindness is," she said. "Our society is too complex to use that kind of analysis.""

This is the same ignorant horsecrap you could hear on any one of a thousand small-town community collage campuses across the nation.

The woman is a moron.

Here is the solution... it could be done if the right case is built... and there are 20 million pages of evidence against this lesbian communist:

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_a_US_Supreme_Court_justice_be_impeached_and_removed_from_office

Under normal circumstances, a Supreme Court justice is awarded a lifetime commission.

A Supreme Court Justice may be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office if convicted in a Senate trial, but only for the same types of offenses that would trigger impeachment proceedings for any other government official under Articles I and II of the Constitution.

Only one Supreme Court Justice, Samuel Chase (one of the signatories to the Declaration of Independence), has ever been impeached. The House of Representatives accused Chase of letting his Federalist political leanings affect his rulings, and served him with eight articles of impeachment in late 1804. The Senate acquitted him of all charges in 1805, establishing the right of the judiciary to independent opinion. Chase continued on the Court until his death in June 1811.

Why is anyone surprised by this. It was well known long before the wise Latina’s confirmation hearing that she is in fact a person who judges people by the color of their skin or their ethnicity as opposed to the content of their character.

"When the Chief Justice read me the oath and came to the words ‘support the Constitution of the United States' I felt like saying: ‘Yes, but it's the Constitution as I understand it, flexible enough to meet any new problem of democracy -- not the kind of Constitution your Court has raised up as a barrier to progress and democracy.'"

Rat icon and superhero FDR. Not much has changed with progressive Rats.

The only good news coming out of that august body this week is that Ginsberg is staying through 2012. Translation, we MUST win the white house.

so she would not even in principle have time for martin luther king jr’s dream of skin hue ignored and merit celebrated. what a maroon, and this is why it mattered that 2008 elevated Barack Obama rather than John McCain to the White House.

“People have views of me and expectations of me that are based on stereotypes,” she said.”

No. We have views and expectations of you because of what you've said and done, like the ‘wise Latina’ comment and this incredibly self-serving comment about different kinds of colorblindness. Actually, anyone who uses the term ‘people of color’ has pretty much self-identified as a racist.

Even if it were a democracy, our present Rats would be getting a lot of stuff wrong with respect to a fair plebiscite, and in a leftward direction.

If she slips into the shoe of her supposed “stereotype” and it fits, she should wear it.

"the way to stop discriminating on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

WAY too complex a thought!

Supposed conservative justices turn liberal on the bench. I pray that a liberal will see the light on the bench. This one has a ways to go.

As a woman and as a “Latina,” she makes me want to throw up. She is an embarrassment to both categories.

When you appoint a racist, Marxist bigot to the Supreme Court, you get a racist Marxist.

But then look at her racist Marxist patron.

I wonder if Obummer was ever a member of the Nation of Islam.

she was "not sure" whether determining the original intent of the Constitution was the most important consideration in deciding a case

I was always under the impression that this was the most important function of the SC. Silly me.

Obama chastised the Supremes to their face in front of the world.

Supremes are now coming out against each other (liberal ones attacking others)

Sen Schumer says the Supreme court isn’t part of our government...Only the President, the House of Rep. and the Senate...

Obama administration not adhering to federal judges’ rulings.

See a pattern working here?

Obama and congress working together and no Supreme court or Federal judges, to hold them accountable with our Constitutional restraints on government. Isn’t that a dictatorship?

I felt like saying: ‘Yes, but it's the Constitution as I understand it, flexible enough to meet any new problem of democracy -- not the kind of Constitution your Court has raised up as a barrier to progress and democracy.'"

I guess it's beyond her to acknowledge that the Constitution was drafted specifically to rein in the excesses of democracy - and, coming from a minority, that is a stunning viewpoint. What Sotomayor wants is a minority to have the kind of judicial power over the majority that the majority would have over the minority in an unchecked democracy. In simpler terms, she's a rank hypocrite.

She just apatly confirmed the stated fears of her critics, even as she condemned those fears as baseless.

In other words, a classic modern progressive.
