Looks like the SC appointment will be going through.

I've always wanted a SC judge that has admitted that her color and race will help her "see" things from a different perspective.

Awesome.

Look, this is what is to be expected from Obama. Elections have consequences. Its not like he was going to appoint a Scalia or Alito.

Nothing Obama does at this point will surprise me other than actually maybe him opening up an Econ 101 book and actually grasping basic concepts.

Wow,with 60 votes in the senate a democratic nominee will get through the hearings.What an incredible accomplishment.The dad thing is,she wil be just another anti-white racist that Obama loves.

See this is standard that the PC crowd have been striving for. You can nominate a minority for a high position no matter how unqualified or controversial that person may be, and no one will speak up out fear of being labeled a racist.

I was expecting a bit more new excuses from around here instead of the same old tired ones.

What excuse? She admitted that her being a "latin woman" would help her make her decisions.

And the part about "different from a white man" is what got your panties in a twist isn't it?

Lurker, your idiocy knows no bounds. Seriously, you are a fool.

Lets say you are before this woman in a contract dispute with a vendor or customer. Lets say that vendor or customer is of hispanic background.

Are you going to feel comfortable with her presiding over your case given that you are white and the vendor is hispanic?

"I want to state upfront, unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judging," she said.

So the only reason Thomas is still on there is because he can't do a "better" job than a white man?

HAHA you guys are morons ready to whine about anything.

Good try in putting words in my mouth to skew the conversation. I said no such thing.

She said that by being Latina and her background (whatever that is) will give her a better "insight" into the law. To me that means she is, at best, going to let her empathy and ethnic background guide her decisions and, at worst, letting her racial bias get in the way of handing down the letter of the law.

Go answer my question fool.

Would you feel comfortable being before this judge if you are in a contract dispute where the other litigant is hispanic?

And you don't think it will?

How is this different from someone Prolife allowing their opinion to influence their judgement?

Can you show a link from her past history where this has happened?

If the actions were warranted it wouldn't matter who was the sitting judge.

Who knows. But instead of keeping her mouth shut she talked shit about it. She's openly admitted that she is a Affirmative Action case and wasn't up to to the standards of those at the school she attended. She said that because of her being a Latina and because of her background that it would give her a better look into things.

She said it, not me so it's out there and it is something to think about.

She admitted it. So, going by what she said, we all should know.

I'm not putting words in her mouth, I'm just going by what she said.
