Does anybody remember during the John Roberts confirmation hearings when Chuck Schumer went after John Roberts for using the word "amigo" in a letter, and called him a racist against Hispanics because of that one word in that one letter?
So, Democrats are okay with using the "amigo" slur now?
Somebody better throw that little fact back at Schiff.

That and pi$$
Amigo is not a slur and never was. It simply means friend. But the Dems can turn on the political correctness machine over anything at any time.
Good point!

Schumer starts out praising Roberts’ intellects and then lists one of his cons, and you will hear Schumer say that Roberts lacks compassion because he used the word amigo in the 1980s.
SCHUMER: First is the question of compassion and humanity. I said on the first days of these hearings it’s important to determine not just the quality of your mind, but the fullness of your heart, which to I think a good number of us at least on both sides of the aisle, really, mean the ability to truly empathize with those who are less fortunate and who often need the protections of the government and the assistance of the law to have any chance at all. It didn’t seem much, for instance, to concede that the wording, “illegal amigos” was unfortunate. Yet you refused to say so. America has moved in the 21st Century beyond what Senator Kennedy called the cramped view of civil rights professed in the early Reagan administration. But you wouldn’t admit now, in 2005, that any of those views you argued for in the early eighties were misguided, with the hindsight of history. That’s troubling.
