Obama nominates racist to Supreme Court - she believes Hispanics are better than white people

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Judge Sotomayor questioned the famous notion — often invoked by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her retired Supreme Court colleague, Sandra Day O’Connor — that a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same conclusion when deciding cases.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor.

She was appointed by 0bama, so why would anyone expect her not to be a total chop?!

You are allowed to be a racial supremacist. It's a free country.

The question is, should a racial supremacist be allowed on to the Supreme Court?

in one of her other court rulings, i think she said that white men can't dance and suffer from you-know-what envy.

Would you support a Klan candidacy to scotus?

Well the fecal matter will definitely hit the fan with that one.

As always it will be funny to watch the US media go at it.

Its what they do best after all.

This isn't stirring the pot.

To anyone who thought "god damn America" was just aberration, an anomaly in the Obama story... this corroborates the worst of fears!

In other words - angry, balding "pink" men will need to buy a new armchair (after the armrests collapse from all the fist beating) and a fresh box of kleenex.

Step back. What she is saying is not that latino women (whatever that actually means) are better than white males, but simply that in her opinion they are more likely to have acquired life skills that enrich and serve well when employed in the judicial process. Whether she is right or not, well, that's something else.

Life's rich tapestry and all that...

I bet you that context will be a non-issue (as it invariably always is) when the prime time talking heads get their hands on it.

It's a racist thing to say. What if Scalia said white Americans were better equipped to rule on matters of law due to their heritage being the very civilizations from which our legal system originated....

Sotomayor is a racist, and according to TNR she's an idiot too.

Do we really need a racist version of Clarence Thomas?
