O'bama picks liberal activist for Supreme Court nominee.
What she said....
In a 2001 speech at the University of California at Berkeley, U.S. Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor said,
"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".
Let the fireworks begin - Sounds sexist and racial to me!
But then it was eight years ago. I hope the liberal media will ask her if she still 'feels' that way?
Many Senate Republicans say they are troubled by the remark, as it suggests the federal appeals court judge is inclined to consider race and gender in judicial decisions rather than adhering to an impartial application of the law.
Republican Lindsey Graham, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee that will vote on Sotomayor's nomination, spoke May 31, 2001 on Fox News Sunday.
"She thought a Latina woman, someone with her background, would be a better judge than a guy like me, a white guy from South Carolina.
It is troubling, and it is inappropriate. I hope she will apologize."
It is my opinion that the key word should be "impartiality"
May Peace Be With You Brothers and Sisters.

YOU, have a great day now!.
