Here’s my interpretation of what that look says, Catie.

“Go ahead, I dare you, you sonofabitch!”

I’ve linked to your post from BlogWatch: Court Judicial Activism … I am working on fisking the white house blog post on Sotomayor. (i’ve referenced your http://sweetness-light.com/arc.....ors-racism post ““The differences from the larger society and the problems I faced as a Latina woman didn’t disappear when I left Princeton. I have spent my years since Princeton, while at law school and in my various professional jobs, not feeling completely a part of any of the worlds I inhabit.” ” in the post which I am still working on.

My rebuilt resume for her has

1984 to 1992 – Private practice at the firm Pavia and Harcourt, becoming a partner in 1988.

She was a general civil litigator involved in all facets of commercial work including, real estate, employment, banking, contracts, and agency law. In addition, her practice had a significant concentration in intellectual property law, including trademark, copyright and unfair competition issues. Her typical clients were significant corporations doing international business.

and under references:

One of Sotomayor’s former Yale Law School classmates, Robert Klonoff (now Dean of Lewis & Clark Law School), remembers her intellectual toughness from law school: “She would stand up for herself and not be intimidated by anyone.” [Washington Post, 5/7/09]

I don’t see any direct connection yet … but a complete biography for her would be of benefit.

Her psychosis is further confirmation of her Mental Illness diagnosis (Liberalism)- Her 2000 remark (which now everyone on the Left is attempting to ‘defend’) is racist – because if you simply turn it around -

Say Judge Judy – (i.e. white) said -, “I would hope that a wise White woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latin/black/Asian male who hasn’t lived that life.”

She’d been nailed with 45 minutes (such as Senator Kennedy did with the Bork nomination) – without benefit of even a single question. And branded a racist.

Take it all away – Her stance that the 2nd Amendment does not confer individual gun ownership rights (see DC v Heller for reality) shows that she does not support or defend the Constitution nor citizens rights. No wonder The One ™ chose her.

Damn Charles Krauthammer for writing – Criticize her then Confirm her – because Elections have consequences. [How moderate of him - I must write Fox to dump his moderate self] This is an appointed life-time position which is to uphold the Constitution and she is not qualified. The One ™ chose her to ‘adjudicate’ his policy and We The People will have no recourse. It is not the time to take the higher road – it is the time to stand up for the Constitution. And then vote No for this Judge who would not even be able to uphold her swearing in oath.

God Help America – we aren’t even going to survive until 2010, unless someone grows a backbone to stand up against The One ™ and all the destructive things he is doing to America.

If Ms. Sotomayor was so “daring” and “assertive,” then why didn’t she go to court or the DOJ instead of some namby-pamby student council?

Amen to that! She probably saw dollar signs as well. I think it’s a legitimate question. When I was in grad school for my Masters in History there was a black Naval aviator and he said he wished affirmative action would go away too as he always felt that people wondered if he was really qualified to attend Annapolis and then go on to flight school and that was a problem for him. But obviously not for baby Sonya. What a dork. That pic looks like a mug shot.

“Afterward, Sotomayor confronted the partner about the questions, rejected his insistence that he meant no harm and turned down his invitation for further job interviews. She filed a discrimination complaint against the firm with the university, …”

So this meeting wasn’t about getting a job .. it was about vengeance .. filing a discrimination complaint. Notice .. she “turned down his invitation for further job interviews.”.

This lib probably figured she hit the jackpot and wasn’t hardly out of school yet. Settle a score and start making a name for herself.

And, typical of the left, they are most hypocritical and opportunist. They would toss their mothers into a worker’s camp if it brought legitimacy to their cause.

This one is obviously aware of the gifts she’s received from my country in the way of affirmative action over the years. Hell, she was already peddling that victimhood in her early 20’s, apparently so keyed up and ready for a fight about it that she threatens a discriminatory suit at a damn dinner party! What class.

Knowing her emotional capacity for "confronting" the moral flaw of racism "head-on", why did she hide like a turtle over the Ricci v. DeStefano case, then? She and the other judges in that case hobbled together a one-paragraph, unsigned opinion. Real brave. She’s only capable of seeing injustice when Puerto Rico is involved, apparently.

Like The Moron, people like Ms. Sotomayor see everything through the prism of race.

And they don’t like anybody they see who doesn’t look like them.

There’s a word for it.

Racism.
