Wonderboy's Racist Supreme Court Nominee

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn't lived that life.”

That's the key quote from Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, currently a federal Appellate Court judge. Never mind that such a statement, if reserved and uttered by a white male, would result in hounding him from whatever position he currently occupied.

Missing, of course, are trivialities such as: the facts of a case, and the law applicable to the case.

Details....details......

This is Wonderboy's idea of a post-partisan, post-racial administration. The most explicitly racist Supreme Court choice since Roger B. Taney. Only, now, the racism runs against whites and males. With this nomination, the first rookie has made public his explicit intent to violate his oath of office. In this case, by nominating a judge who intends, based upon her prior statements, to ignore the rule of law, and, instead, rule on the basis of outcomes, based upon her latina heritage.

Since confirmation in the Senate for Supreme Court justices requires only a simple majority, it's very likely Red Sonia will be replacing Souter.

There are so many things wrong with this choice that it's hard to know where to start. But the media is, as usual, already in the tank.

One liberal commentator on a cable news channel began by lauding her minority background, then promptly stated that it had nothing to do with her nomination. That she is the best-qualified jurist in the land to replace Souter.

Huh?

Somehow I doubt this woman is actually the most-qualified jurist for the ninth seat on the country's highest judicial bench. Not because she's female, or hispanic. Rather, because she's so relatively junior to other jurists.

Of course, by nominating Sotomayor, Wonderboy has sent a clear signal that he has no intention of being bi-partisan or unifying. He's trying to overturn the Constitution while his party has a majority in Congress, thus insuring that he won't be impeached.

But he should be.
