Sotomayor overturned.
Jun0
The Supreme Court ruled today (June 29, 2009) that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race. This reversed a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor supported as an appeals court judge.
Sotomayor: racist and sexist.

Sotomayor stated her “wise woman” statement many times
Jun0
The Obama administration claimed that Sotomayor’s statement about a wise latina woman making a better decision than a white man were “a poor choice of words” earlier this week.
Unfortunately for the Obama administration’s honesty deparment, she has used the phrase repeatedly so her poor choice of words continued over years. Her filings to the Senate show it was a regular refrain over years. See http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/legal_beat/2009/06/sotomayor-repeatedly-reference.html
At least the sexist, racist, bigot Sonia Sotomayor was a consistent sexist, racist bigot. Kudos to Sotomayor for consistency.

Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right.

What else needs to be said?
Obama and his Muslim heritgage

My father was basically agnostic, as far as I can tell, and I didn’t know him. Barack Hussein Obama, Boca Raton, Florida, town hall meeting on May 22, 2008
Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them. Barack Hussein Obama, April 6, 2009 address to the Turkish ParliamentObama has “experienced Islam on three continents…growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans [are] a key part of Illinois and Chicago”.Denis McDonough, the US Deputy national security adviser June 2, 2009
Barack Obama is his heart is bigger than any heart in the world

This man is extremely smart – he can communicate [with a teleprompter], but the best part of Barack Obama is his heart is bigger than any heart in the world. - Senator Harry Reid, May 26, 2009
Obama tries to demonstrated that his heart is bigger by spending the fruit of your lives. It is easy to have a “bigger” heart when you are giving away other people’s money, and consequently the hours of their lives, without having to work for it.
After all the politicians in the South thought the slave owners had big hearts too – all funded on the backs of the slaves, and all “for a good cause, and fairness.” Of course, if you ask “fair to whom” and “fair based on who’s judgment” the entire facade then fell apart.
La Raza on Sonia Sotomayor
May0
Today is a monumental day for Latinos. Finally, we see ourselves represented on the highest court in the land. Janet Murguia, National Council of La Raza (”The Race” aka NCLR) President/CEO, May 27, 2009
If the name “La Raza” (’The Race”) isn’t crazy enough, the concept of a United States citizen being at all concerned about race is completely insane. If Ms Murguia is more concerned about her “race” than about the United States, we would like to suggest she go elsewhere. Perhaps back in time before 1865 where there were so many open racists. She should feel quite at home. And Sonia Sotomayor should be equally at home with the racist, sexist bigots who were so common at the time. The Supreme Court is supposed to be about laws, not about race or skin color or gender.
In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American… There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people. Theodore Roosevelt 1907
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 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” – Judge Sonia Sotomayor, 2001
Yet another quality racist in the Obama Administration. At least she is honest about her racism and sexism. Not that that should be any comfort for people concerned with the rule of law from a potential Justice of the Supreme Court. Sotomayor is completely and outrageously a sexist bigot. One marvels at the audacity to nominate her to the United States Supreme Court.
We do not judge people on skin color, gender or anything else except legal issues. Those are exactly what a judge should not use to decide a case, only what a sexist, racist, bigot would use.

court of appeals is where policy is made. Sonia Sotomayor
May0
A “court of appeals is where policy is made. .. And I know — I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don’t make law. I know. O.K. I know. I’m not promoting it. I’m not advocating it. I’m — you know.” Judge Sonia Sotomayor, 2005
Displaying her well-known eloquence, and lack of respect for the law, Judge Sonia Sotomayor in 2005 discussing making policy from the bench. I would urge Sotomayor to read the Constitution of the United States, the Federalist papers and the Anti-Federalist papers. This is one person who needs to educate herself on the founding of this country.
Sotomayer is the antithesis of a judge or Justice. Compare her power-hungry philosophy with John Adams seeking to establish “a government of laws and not of men.” Or since she is so cognizant of gender and race, a “government of laws and not of hispanic women.”

Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences [for jurists who are women and nonwhite] our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.

More rampant racism and sexism from the current nominee to the Supreme Court.
One item that surprises one the most is her statement about “national origins.” One would hope that judges and Justices are Americans so “national origins” would be irrelevant, but for this Judge, apparently not.
