“It would be considered a disgrace if an umpire in a baseball game let his “empathy” determine whether a pitch was called a ball or strike. Surely we should accept nothing less from a judge.”

“Loser pays” rule would avert many discrimination claims, unless really legitimate, from ever being brought.
What does it say in this day and age when the city of New Haven could have promoted the firefighters who passed and probably have settled the inevitable discrimination suit with the black firefighters or taken it to court? It certainly would have cost the taxpayers less than the Ricci case has so far. The city was going to get sued by someone, and in the end, they would rather have the white and Hispanic firefighters sue than the black ones. They probably would have settled with the black firefighters for far less money, but the political cost of settling to a discrimination suit brought by African Americans in liberal New Haven and being viewed as culpable? Too high to pay. The cost of appeals all the way to the Supreme court when the discrimination plaintiff
(enemy of the city) is white? Priceless, politically speaking, in the town of Yale.

Just what we need, another arrogant leftie telling us how to live. What could possibly go wrong?

Precisely why the Dems worked so hard to smear Miguel Estrada. To give the Republicans credit for advancing the position of someone who immigrated here at 17 knowing no English would have the blistering effect of not only neutralizing much hyped claims of racism by the G.O.P.but it would also highlight the success of someone who is supposed to regard himself as a victim. I don’t understand the why Hispanics, Latinos are all part of a “victim group” anyway (unless we are talking about Cubans under Castro.) I thought they were coming to America to seek opportunity, not to lodge grievances.

From your description (and from Sotomayor’s aforementioned activism on behalf of Hispanics) it seems to me that the terms “Latino” and “Hispanic ought to carry the same stigma as the term “Aryan”. Particularly when we see how she has devoted her life to advancing the “Hispanic” cause and of course in her “wise latina” comment. Why is there nobility in advancing the “cause” of race?

At the ripe age of 19, I was carrying a radio in Southeast Asia (Vietnam).

My mother is from the Dominican Republic, so I have a “latina” parent and can tick “Hispanic” on the census box, yet I have never felt excluded from public life due to race/ ethnicity.

Sotomayor is just another person who uses the ethno / race card and fake grievances to advance her career. Sounds like a carbon duplicate of Obama, in fact I think that’s why he chose her. Her disdain for white Americans and U.S. / Western culture is clear and parallels Obama’s own race gripes in his “Dreams from my Father.” Her history of joining racially charged groups (”La Raza”) and demanding discriminatory hiring will be ignored on the left, and if a white person demanded similar follies you can be certain they would be booted and brandished a KKK member from day one, and prohibited from serving on the bench.

The last thing we want is a Supreme Court justice dictating by feelings and the warm oozy feeling she gets when a white person loses a discrimination suit…

No, apparently she arrived on campus with a long list of grievances against Princeton. She probably fell off her bike as a child and blamed the white man for building the bike and paving the sidewalk.

She’s spent her entire life in 3 east coast states. I had more life experiences than that by the time I was 7.

That’s outstanding. I met the man one time, but I was all stammers and wobbly knees. Actually now that I think about it, I met him twice, with the same results.

I had a long winded reply but decided to settle on this. Has she ever really seen the world except through her own judgments?

That’s all these libtards can see is race. Just like that idiot Gore misquoted “E Pluribus Unum” saying “Out of the one many” these idiots don’t see America as a homogeneous group. Hispanic? What a joke!!! Are they Mexican? Puerto Rican? Cuban? Brazilian? Argentinian? oh and Spanish? Latino? I’ve never heard one speaking Latin. I”M WHITE and I”M AN AMERICAN!!! Not Scottish-American or German-American or French-American (although I wouldn’t admit it) or English-American. “Hispanic” people like to call us “Anglos” but some are Saxons or Francs or Normans or Goths or Celts and maybe even Barbarians (They’d probably like that one)

I don’t think your allowed to live in a housing project, if you have enough money to pay for two children to attend a private Catholic school. Mabye alot of unreporting of finances. For example I don’t think you can claim a large car payment, to be entitled to welfare housing. Things were probably different back then. I thought that the Puerto Rico’s and Mexicans practiced racism against one another. And today there are so many gangs based on differences like this.
So, does this mean she was battling for Puerto Ricans and not Mexicans during this time? Are these grants so good, that one doesn’t have to work on the side?
Soon, white’s will get fake foriegn ID’s to go to school free. Oops. Forgot free school on the way.
