Outrageous New Supreme Court Nominee
The new Supreme Court nominee, proud Latina Sonia Sotomayor, has been criticized for for saying in 2001 that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a better decision than a white male judge. Her nomination is painfully outrageous on a number of levels.
What man can expect to get treated fairly in her court, given her overtly stated misandry? What white person can expect to get treated fairly in her court, given her recent decision to pass over the top 17 scorers in the New Haven Fire Dept.test, who were vying for a promotion, because only white men scored highest?
In her view, we must judge by the color of the skin, the sex, the race, but NOT the content of the character, the skill, the moral worth.
President Obama said that she was picked because she has "empathy", but that is a pretense on both Obama's and Sotomayer's part, since she a record of ruling against persons from less favored categories without a shred of empathy. If bigotry is now back in style, we better not criticize those cross burners in sheets. Race supremacy is now cool in the new Obama world of identity politics!! Those who are not in favored races need not apply.
Another Sotomayer outrage is that she was picked in part because of her "story": Raised by a single mother in poverty in the Bronx, managed to get an Ivy League education and then made good at the highest levels of government.
I hate to remind you, but that is Clarence Thomas's story. He was raised in a shack without running water in rural Georgia, couldn't even go to the Savannah public library because he was black, and ended up the first person in his family to go to college, eventually getting a law degree from Yale Law School, and obtaining high level government employment.
If those things qualify a person for a position on the Supreme Court, liberals should LOVE Clarence Thomas!
One last question for those who may not find this troublesome: What will happen to families who come before her court to affirm their rights as against the government, but who are not "disadvantaged" or "of color"? I shudder.
