I have said many times that it is the liberals that are prejudiced, not conservatives.
We do not believe that you have put forth anything other than qualification.
Any discrimination, as Senator Boxer was, is wrong!
But to answer your question, I disagree with Ric.
Color blind is what Conservatives are, we don't use color to determine outcome.
Liberals are blinded by color. It is known as the "race card" and only the liberals use it. This was an excellent example, another in Judge Sotomayor.
Did anyone else wounder what her aid was saying in her ear?
"shut up now, you are digging a deep hole with that nigg....black man".
Where was all the support for hispanics when Bush nominated Miguel Estrada? (two years he spent waiting for an up or down vote in the Senate).
Or, for that matter, where was all the support from African Americans when Bush 1 nominated Clarence Thomas?
I am not color blind. I hate the color orange. I have many friends that are quite conservative. Others that are what you would classify as liberal. Still others that are apolitical. They feel the same way.
Orange is the color of the beast.
Funny Doug.
I work with a guy who is color blind and is so funny when color is involved.
Sean, you are soo right.
When Estrada and Thompson were in front of the Senate, they were lambasted. They did not want ether on the bench. Now it is about having the first Hispanic on the bench. They had their chance and blew it big time.
Clarence Thomas had some major contradictions attached to his career, but was confirmed and Sotomayor is a solid candidate basically why there is little controversy.
Juliet, you really crack me up. Do you really believe what you just wrote?
What makes Sotomayor a solid candidate?
U tell me wt makes u crake up sean.
Juliet,
Sotomayor has written and said in the past:
"the appellate court is where policy is made". Let me see here, according to our Constitution, that is reserved for the Congress.
She said that a Hispanic Woman can make better judgments than a white man.
Life experiences make her a better judge. No, a judge is not to go off life experiences, but the "Law".
She said she brings an "open mind" to judging.
she overturned a NY law that didn't let convicted felons to vote. She said it was because it "disqualified a group of people from voting". "minorities"
In 1993 a plea bargain case involving drugs, she said that the 5 year mandatory sentence was an "abomination" that the defendant did not "deserve".
She said "the government is free to favor the anti-abortion position over the pro-choice position".
Remember the New Haven fire fighters?
Juliet - please enlighten us. What are the major contradictions of Thomas' career? What make Sotomayor a solid candidate?
Sean there is plenty of info on the web. Go do your own homework.
Yea sean do your own homework.Look on the web.Everything on the web is true!Don't read anything or listen to anything.Yea look on the web!My sources are the web.WeeooWeeeoo.Hhahah!Oh now my side hurts.Sorry DRL.Hahaha,owowow!
Ya matt your are funny cause you only read Fox. Start with getting the actual speach she made about "Latino Women...white men" and looking at the context of the quotes.
Justice Clarence Thomas is a black man with a white mans view of how life should be.(as interpreted by white folks who think they know how black folks SHOULD think)Shit I have a headache just typing that.Wow! what an epiphany!Haahhaha.You liberals crack me up.Not really. Makes me sad that you would sell the country down the river.I think Juliet is making light of justice Thomases alleged conduct by a certain woman.(It's always the women that bring you down aint it)?Not his voting record or qualifications or education or anything of substance mind you but some frivolous unsubstantiated claim of inapropriate behavior.God bless America.He rose above it and got confirmed.Good for him.Those of you that don't like the"R" after his name are the shallow ones.And at what cost?
I "Read" Fox? I watch Fox when I have a chance.I listen to kccy 96.9 country and 740 kvor talk radio.I Listen to 98.1 classic rock and read the Colorado Springs"Gazette".Unlike you and your kind I will gladly list my sources of information and with the exemption of 740 kvor they are all liberally biased.I have a free mind and free will.I just believe in right and wrong.period.I posted this way back but I have three talk stations programmed on my car radio.740,conservative talk,760 air america, and 940 EWTN(eternal word}.Put up or shut up.
Juliet - I do plenty of homework, I don't have one source, if I hear something on a show I go and dig into it myself. You have said that Sotomayor is a good solid candidate I'm asking you what makes a solid candidate for you?
1. HER UPBRINGING: Judge Sonia Sotomayor has arguably lived the American dream. She was born to a Puerto Rican family and grew up in a public housing project in the South Bronx.
Her father was a factory worker with a third-grade education, and died when Sotomayor was nine years old. Her mother raised Sotomayor while working as a nurse. After her father's death, Sotomayor reportedly turned to books for solace, and she says it was her love of Nancy Drew books that ultimately led her to the law.
2. HER EDUCATION: Sotomayor graduated as valedictorian of her class at Blessed Sacrament and at Cardinal Spellman High School in New York. She won a scholarship to Princeton where she continued to excel, graduating summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. She was a co-recipient of the M. Taylor Pyne Prize, the highest honor Princeton awards to an undergraduate. At Yale Law School, Judge Sotomayor served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal and as managing editor of the Yale Studies in World Public Order.
3. HER WORK OFF THE BENCH: After law school, Sotomayor spent five years as Assistant District Attorney in Manhattan, trying dozens of criminal cases. Robert Morgenthau, who chose her for the position, described her as a "fearless and effective prosecutor." She entered private practice in 1984, working as an international corporate litigator handling cases involving everything from intellectual property to banking, real estate and contract law.
4. HER JUDICIAL EXPERIENCE: As Tom Goldstein of SCOTUSBlog writes, "Almost all of her career has been in public service -- as a prosecutor, trial judge, and now appellate judge. She has almost no money to her name." The White House notes:
If confirmed for the Supreme Court, Judge Sotomayor would bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice in 100 years, and more overall judicial experience than anyone confirmed for the Court in the past 70 years. ...
In 1998, Judge Sotomayor became the first Latina to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, one of the most demanding circuits in the country. She has participated in over 3000 panel decisions and authored roughly 400 opinions, handling difficult issues of constitutional law, to complex procedural matters, to lawsuits involving complicated business organizations."

Matt Foxnews.com you can read the same shallow crap you see on Fox news on TV.
So now Sean you tell me what is wrong with her CV.
1) Her "upbringin"? That has nothing whatsoever to do with qualifications as a judge. But, if this is part of your criteria, then take a look at Justice Thomas. He was raised by his sharecropper grandfather and slept in a shair till he was 12 (or so). Yet, democrats did everything they could to ruin him. So, cratch number one from your list.
2) Judge Sonia Sotomayor says she is a "perfect affirmative action baby," and that she was accepted to Princeton and Yale despite her lackluster test performance compared to other applicants. "My test scores were not comparable to that of my colleagues at Princeton or Yale". How does she "earn scholarship" to Princeton with poor grades and test scores?
3) No comment one way or another, but some of the notable cases of Robert Morganthal:
Mark David Chapman (killed Johnn Lennon)
Bernie Goetz (probably not well known outside the NY subway)
Robert Chambers
Teens who raped the "Central Park Jogger"
And, for you who hate corporations, Dennis Kozlowski of Tyco fame.
4) How many of these decisions did she "mail in" via the summary judgement? In fact, the fireman's case was a summary judgement, which was completely inappropriate. That mechanism is reserved for the most straightforward, pedestrian cases, not one that was sure to be controversial.
What's wrong with her C.V. is that she thinks judges make policy (laws) and that is clearly not the case in America. What, exactly, do we "owe" to the Latina population of Puerto Rico that she should be advanced on the grounds of her ethnicity?
Hehehe!
Not to mention most of her decisions have been overturned by the panel that she has been nominated too!
Maybe she should have gotten better grades.
I did my homework, and the only thing I found was the trumped up accusation that he 'sexually harassed' Anita Hill.
If a false accusation is enough to keep out a conservative, it should work for a liberal activist as well.
So I believe Sean did his homework, because there was no other outstanding accusation against him.
Oh, Joe Biden was one of the leading opponents of a black man being on the Supreme Court.
