Sotomayor
I think the nomination of a minority women is long over do.
In her own words: “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.” I agree. Thoughts? |
Why don't we ever worry about what kind of legal INTELLECT a person has than focusing so damn much about how many blacks, whites, womens, Klingons, Aardvarks, et al, ad nauseum, on the court ?

I'm ready, unless the "party of no" blocks it. Then the Court can focus on straightening the Prop 8 mess in CA, amongst the many other injustices out there.
|
I believe the though on a court appointees now is that they need to be more than a one dimensional academic scholar.
A women like Sotomayor will not be questioned as to her legal intellect as that is clear from her resume. The added dimension she will bring is an understanding of life in the United States from a different perspective which is very representative of a large segment of the population. Great choice, IMO. |

We should ALWAYS trust a wise, wonderful woman of the Latina persuasion over a dusty old document written nearly 250 years ago by a bunch of dead, rich, white guys who obviously didn't have a clue as to what they were doing, except to when it came to Opressing Wise, Wonderful Women & African-AmericansandLatinasandblahblahblah....

I am in the same camp as Sandy and Charles. There should be no legislation from the Bench. There is another branch of government assigned that duty.
