I don’t think that Pat’s being stupid here at all. The liberals constantly cry about making everything properly representative. 33% of the seats on a court representing 2% of the population does not fit the bill. Of course, these sort of things shouldn’t be taken into account at all, but the Left insists that they must be. I think we all know that O’Connor was put on the Court because she is a woman, Sotomayor because she is Hispanic, Thurgood Marshall because he was black, etc. But, the Left only wants their own favored groups represented, while the largest group in the nation (white Protestants) are not represented at all, and they say nothing about that. It is anti-Democratic to say that all groups must be represented except for the majority. I’m glad Pat is calling them out on their hypocrisy. People here calling Pat stupid are just letting the Left get away with their biased hypocrisy.
Don’t try to talk sense into those who want to call Buchanan an anti-semite without reading what he actually said and why he said it. It’s much more fun to jump on the haaretZ rant and let haaretz do the thinking for them.
So “We need a Court that looks like America” = okay, no problem, hope and change.
But, “Hey, this court would not look like the demographics of America” = racist.
Now I understand how it works.
