The "Wise Latina" jumped the shark

[ScreamingEagle]

With her extreme positions and her elevated judicial standing, Sotomayor has now become the poster girl for self-interested racial preferences. Her mediocre performance on SAT and LSAT tests served as a predictor of her performance on the Court. Two fellow liberals on the Court abandoned her, leaving only Ginsburg in her camp.

Thank God, in his Powerline colleague Scott Johnson’s words, “The Constitution is still constitutional.” Sotomayor, a big believer in the theory of a “living Constitution,” would have it that the “compelling state interest in diversity,” as she put it in her dissent, empowers the Supreme Court to override the actual words of the Constitution and substitute her own preference that some minorities (though not Asians, who suffer discrimination under the racial preference system) deserve a thumb on the scale. And if that causes whites, Asians, and other non-preferred groups (can we please call them “targets”?) to be denied opportunities that their merit has earned them, the Wise Latina is not concerned.

If they couldn't even get the boy Kagan to come along, Ruth Senile Ginsburg and Sonya the dunce are far off into the stratosphere of lunacy.

What's funny is, she knows she'd be left behind as well if the Magic Negro wasn't simply filling out demographic quotas.

What were your SAT/LSAT test scores like?

And yet she's a Supreme Court Justice and you're an unemployed simpleton on a messageboard.

It's all because of Affirmative Action, right?

No, he is a veteran with world class genius IQ and unbelevable artistic talent. Aren't we all?


As for Sotomoyor: she is typically a clueless liberal who thinks the last 50 years never happened because there is no difference between a joke told in a frat house and a lynching somewhere. But all of it can be amerliorated by talking. That's what she wants: to talk.

What happened to judging based on character? Why when it comes to non-whites the left judges based on race???

Her appointment to SCOTUS was Affirmative Action. I can't say as far as her past experiences go.

Yes, as I stated long ago, Sotomayor embodies one of the most dangerous prevailing ideas about the Constitution and the law of precedents in the modern era. She is extremely dangerous.

Actually, most of the posters on yesterday's thread about the damages for child porn thought her opinion was the correct one. And, I can't totally disagree.

Wishful thinking!

Because they don't recognize, or have, character.

No, I'm a retired simpleton on a message board! I've had a very good life and I've probably flown on Air Force One more times than she has!

But shes a woman and hispanic... What other qualifications did she need ? Now we just need an obese, height challenged , transgendered, eskimo to truly validate the intellectual capacity of the court... Represent !!!

This country want from a merit based society that promotes based on intellect to one that promotes based on gender, skin color and idiocy.

Think about that.

Or you know, she was chosen based on her political ideology. Rehnquist wouldn't have been chosen if he was a leftist, nor Burger. The fact that she will rile up some of Hussein's base probably had something to do with the pick as well, though he would never have chosen her if she was right-wing. Which is only natural, since the justices are political choices...

Memo to Sotomoyor: filibustering only works in the Senate!
