Sotomayor, Unplugged (supports racial preferences)

[Clock King]

Sotomayer’s who being is tied into her racial identity. She is NOT a full person. This society will not survive such touchy-feely thought. A system of law can not just be “whatever feels right today”.

[depressed in 06]

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 heard a Bolshecrat analyst claim that if it passes Congress and the President signs it it is Constitutional. With that attitude who needs a Supreme Court to determine what is Constitutional. The rule of law has turn to the whim of man. Until, DumBO is in prison for what he did to the Chrysler bondholders there is no rule of law.

[Ann Archy]

Idiot woman.

[SC_Pete]

A moron with a lifetime appointment to destroy our Constitution.

[DJ MacWoW]

If I could I would ask her which doctor she wants performing brain surgery on her, the qualified one or the PC one.

[Iron Munro]

Weak, foolish republicans put her in the Supreme Court.

We will live to regret their weakness.

[Tennessee Nana]

Justice Sotomayor also talked about being the first Hispanic woman on the Supreme Court.......

....The justice said that she doesn’t let her racial identity affect her judgment in cases but is convinced that others pre-judge her

AH maybe because you make an issue of the fact that you are “Hispanic” etc

and when has Hispanic been equated to “color”

Maybe you can get away with “minority” but the first “Hispanics” in the New World were considered white men and they were from Europe...

If your ancestors were from Spain then they were considered white...

If your ancestors were Central or South American Indians and “people of color” then they were not Hispanic at all...

[Liberty Valance]

Wasn’t she Barry’s personal eligibility lawyer?

[Chode]

do I really have to say it???

[Louis Foxwell]

...if it passes Congress and the President signs it it is Constitutional.

I have not heard this progressive mantra in a public forum. It has, however, been insinuated.

[kearnyirish2]

“The woman is a moron.”

She is, but it is a refreshing change that instead of some hillbilly Klansman saying blacks & hispanics are inferior we now have a Puerto Rican woman shouting it loud & clear; there is no other meaning to be taken from the “racial preferences” debate.

[kearnyirish2]

One of the problems that will eventually doom racial preferences is the fact the former president Fox of Mexico (6’+ tall, white as Ivory soap) is considered “Hispanic” in terms of college admission, racial quotas for civil service (or private industry, now that this is legislated there as well via threat of lawsuits), etc. This, combined with the fact that “Hispanics” now outnumber blacks in the US population, has taken some of the fire out of the debate; if twenty firefighter positions have to be held for “other”, and the top twenty scores go to Hispanics and/or white women, then they’ll have to go back to square one.

[kearnyirish2]

A wise Latina wouldn’t stoop to using the term “wise Latina”.

Sotomayor, Unplugged (supports racial preferences)

And this is a surprise? Too many whites are either naive, sheltered or plain stupid.

[Tennessee Nana]

Because of junk like that for many years now on government forms when given a choice of ...

white
black
hispanic
Chinese/Asian
Pacific Islander
etc

I have chosen Pacific Islander

I was born in New Zealand...

:)

[Tennessee Nana]

so what if my skin is lily white and my ancestors for 100s of years have been European...

French, Dutch, English, Scot, Irish

I’m a Pacific Islander...

[jmacusa]

Punta in Spanish.

[kearnyirish2]

They’ve already been through that in court with a South African white; he lost (apparently not “African” enough).

Good luck with that; if you don’t mind my asking, why would a Kiwi live here?

[FatherofFive]

"To the extent my presence has given people of color a sense of belonging with the court, then I have made a difference," she said.

So it in not because of what she has achieved, it if because of what she is.

This is supposed to be about equality of opportunity. Not legislated outcomes.

[The Comedian]

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

Yes she is. She is sure it is *not*. The most important thing is to advance the progressive agenda toward a more centrally-planned and controlled wealth redistribution utopia, with Wise Latinas and other Marxists being the cannibalistic Morlocks, and conservatives playing the role of the delicious Eloy.

We all knew this as soon as she was nominated by Pharaoh.

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.
