Bloggers are doing the work big media refuses to, examining Sonia Sotomayor’s record on race related cases. The outcome might surprise you.
Also, Evan has a question for the nominee:
Since Sotomayor endorses the idea that a judge’s ethnic background affects judicial decision-making, shouldn’t we know how her heritage has influenced her thinking in cases she’s judged? Could she point to specific cases where “being a Latina woman” lead her to a “better” decision than a “white male” would have made?
I don’t expect the Democratic majority to ask these questions, so Republicans should. That is the minimal duty of an opposition party. We’ll see if they have the stomach to do it.
Republicans are being watched. Will they lead the anti-left movement this country needs? Or will they cave into a worthless gelatinous mass of Democrat-Lite appeasement?
She clearly states that identity politics trumps judicial neutrality. from the Sybil Speaks
the republicans have no hope in stopping sortamayo’s confirmation.
which is all the more reason they should be staunchly opposing it–they have nothing to lose & everything to gain from the republican electorate.
we shall see if they have the stones….
Unless one is delusional, Sotomayer is a racist- pure & simple, as are all members of the treasonous La Raza -by definition- who’s motto is “For our race everything- for others, nothing”.
Her record is nothing to shout about either, and frankly -if you’ve heard her speak- she’s not what you’d call a towering intellectual.
Eric Holder has some racial hangups and agenda too, calling us “cowards” regarding racial issues and letting-off Black Panthers who stood in front of a polling place with nightsticks.
And Obama himself has shown us a puzzling pro-Kenyan grudge against the British and has said some pretty odd things, even regarding his own grandmother… plus he’s the one who nominated all these kooks in the first place.
Whatever happened to the idea of a colorblind society? Team Obama define their world in racial terms all the time- and unlike any white people I know. I wouldn’t want to be judged by any of them after what I’ve heard come out of their own mouths- they sound like Jesse Jackson.
If Obama is going to go on with his “justice” agenda largely based upon race- the double standards need to stop… and NOW
