To take a page from Jenine Garafalo, President Obama appointed a 'stone cold' racist and intellectual lightweight to the US Supreme Court this morning. Hell, she's even a mamber of an organization called "The Race". Judge Sonia Sotomayor openly supports racial preferences and states that the Court is "where policy is made." Forget elected representatives, democracy and all that nonsense, policy in her mind is set by unelected, appointed judges. In 2001 she openly stated that the ethnicity and sex of a judge “may and will make a difference in our judging.” Continuing on a rampage, she then went on to say that “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.” Judge Sotomayor then questioned whether achieving impartiality “is possible in all, or even, in most, cases.” She added, “And I wonder whether by ignoring our differences as women or men of color we do a disservice both to the law and society.” In other words, let's remove the blindfold from Lady Justice and tip that scale she is holding. But it gets worse: “to judge is an exercise of power” and that “there is no objective stance but only a series of perspectives.” Again, NO OBJECTIVE STANCE. That was certainly the case when she threw out a serious discrimination case with a single sentence. Certainly she is correct that "to judge is to exercise power," and placing unrestrained power in the hands of a self-described nonobjective person, with clear raciest tendencies may be what the Reverend Wright and Obama would approve of but most Americans would not.
Shocking.
