She was shoveling with both hands and kicking with both feet this week. It was a solid broadside of crap. Her defenders say her comments were taken out of context. How can her "Wise Latina" comment suffer from being taken out of context when she stated it seven different times? Of course she meant it, and that makes her a racist and a sexist. She must have felt so humuliated being cross examined by all those white men massed before her at the hearings. Also, who was that white man sitting next to her? Oh, that was her father, who is white, and so is So Much Solid Manure.
Talk about a rebel without a cause, she's a rebel without a clue. She is insisting on a specificity without a definition. Latino or Hispanic are social short hand for socialist propaganda and there is no single monolithic Hispanic vote. There are Cubans, Mexicans, Costa Rican, Columbians, Hondurans, Brazilians and Dominicans; but they are all not all one ethnic or racial group. In fact, the Brazilians speak Portugese, not Spanish. But let's not confuse the clueless with facts. She is a white woman insisting on an additional groupism and has used it as the only justification for her advancement through her life. She even associated herself with a racist organiztion, La Raza, to promote her victim status. If you want to know my opinion on La Raza, check out my posting on this organization.
What was even more insulting, was her one moment of clarity and honesty; when she admitted that judges set policy (pass law) from the bench when she said "I know I'm on tape and we're not supposed to say this but..." Now she denies it all. She should never be confirmed for this comment alone.
We have a legal system consiting of two parts, Satutory Law is passed by the Legislature of the United States and the state legislatures, while Common Law is created by court decisions. Both are subject to the Constitution, not international law or the whims of pompous *ss legislatures or jurists.
It's a way to build a wall between ourselves and our worst tendencies. This wall consists of the bricks placed there as laws passed by our supposedly representative legislatures and the gaps between the bricks are sealed with the mortar of court decisons for specificity, of the law, not personal agendas. How can that wall stand if it is made up of substandard mortar? Sotomayor is an example of such substandard, watery mortar and should be rejected.
P.S. to her B.S.: Manure makes a very poor mortar, but keep on shoveling Sotomayor.
