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

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

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 the judicial process. Whether she is right or not, well, that's something else.

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?

Actually, that will be Robert C. Byrd, Obama's next choice.

I think they might have to change the outfits at scotus now. Something more flattering.

Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist had racing stripes. The justices can pick their own chairs, and choose their own robes.

Harriet Myers was the worst Supreme Court nomination ever I think.

Robert Bork?

John Marshall?

Naaaaaaaah...I was thinking something a bit more ethnic dude.... sheesh!

That would an incentive for the new justice to do those daily cardio exercises!

They do!!!

This was the NPR Wait Wait Don't Tell Me episode in which Justice Stephen Breyer was the guest, and he divulged that his robe was synthetic. Paula Poundstone ribbed him mercilessly for that. Quite funny.

John Marshall?

Mmm.. .ok. Though both Miers and Bork were nominees who were never confirmed or appointed to the Court.

If we're going to list judges that were seated (such as Marshall) probably the most infamous would be Roger Taney, who handed down the infamous Dred Scott decision.

Oh, by the way, as a sop for constellation ---- Taney was also the first Catholic Justice to serve on the Court.

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.

My wife is both white and Hispanic by definition " His·pan·ic (h¹-sp²n“¹k) adj. 1. Of or relating to Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America. 2. Of or relating to a Spanish-speaking people or culture. --His·pan·ic n. 1. A Spanish-speaking person."

Does that mean I have to figure out if it's her Whiteness or her Hispanicness that I love? Anyway, a stupid comment for Sotomayor to make and not even politically correct.

I'm home now and finally saw Sotomayor on TV. She's a butterface but is way hotter than Ginsburg

So that explains why almaty isn't posting... Bosco has him tied to a chair.

Rosen's article has been pretty thoroughly debunked. Whatever Sotomayor is, she's hardly an idiot.

As long as we all agree that the only relevant criterion for a female Justice is how hot she looks

pfui on old bags like Sandra Day O'Connor, Ginsburg or Sotomayor. We need some HOTTIES on SCOTUS!
