Yes, she's a member. No, it's not the KKK. In fact, it's an extremely large mainstream organization. Do you know the context? That's below average for cases heard by the Supreme Court. They overturn more than 60% of decisions. Or, you're just woefully ignorant.
thanks for pointing it out bout la raza. yes i know the context about her comment, guess you dont find it racially offensive.... wonder if that came outta a white judge's mouth, if that's be considered a racist remark. i wasnt talking about supreme court... i was talking about her past record as a judge. yes i'm very ignorant about this sotomayor figure, likely the same for many folks. I've heard point of view from michael barry and Rush about her, so i'd just like to get the opposite side's civilized argument or defense.... instead of resorting to name calling.
ok if you think overturning her decision or cases is no biggy.. how bout the fact she's impartial or shown personal bias?
how has she shown impartial bias based on one statement. you'd have to review her decisions, again, only 5/232 were reviewed by the SC. of those three were over turned, which is average.
im just trying to determine whether she's really what they said she is and they accused her of saying and did. i dont think any decent judge should carry a mindset of personal bias or judge someone based on sex, gender or race, hopefully that's not the case with her. and i hope people's not giving her a free pass just cause she's the "1st hispanic supreme court justice"
Are you ****ing kidding me? Yesterday on his radio show G. Gordon Liddy On Sotomayor: "Let’s hope that the key conferences aren’t when she’s menstruating or something, or just before she’s going to menstruate. That would really be bad. Lord knows what we would get then." http://thinkprogress.org/2009/05/29/liddy-sotoyamor-menstruating/ the right has come unhinged
If that were you true, you wouldn't post garbage like this: I guess Obama's picking her is really for political reason or just kissing hispanics' ass? You aren't remotely interested in simply learning the truth.
yeah, well... i just think it's sad double standard is some prevalent nowadays... it's ok for minorities to get away with racist remark but white folks get crucified or get fired.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090529/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_obama_sotomayor classic, backtracking her words. i wonder if she was pressured to acknowledging it publicly now.
let me ask you question, why is your handle "asian"balla23? what if I were "black"balla23, would you complain?
Sonia Sotomayor's mother tells News: I overcame odds to raise U.S. Supreme Court pick BY Lisa Lucas In Margate, Fla. and David Saltonstall In New York DAILY NEWS WRITERS Thursday, May 28th 2009, 2:25 AM Rothstein/For News Proud mom Celina Sotomayor chatted up reporters in rainy Margate, Fla., Wednesday. Take our PollBam's Supreme Pick What do you think of Pres. Obama's pick of Sonia Sotomayor for the U.S. Supreme Court? Love it. A Latina from the Bronx?! She'll bring needed diversity to the Court. Hate it. She's another East-Coast liberal. Not sure. I don't know enough about her Related News Articles Sotomayor pays emotional tribute to her mother Sonia Sotomayor's mother - who singlehandedly raised her two housing project kids to become a doctor and a judge - basked in an afterglow of pride a day after her daughter's historic nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. "I am so proud of her," Celina Sotomayor, 82, told the Daily News on Wednesday outside her Margate, Fla., home, a simple duplex apartment as modest as the woman who raised Sonia to become a success story against all odds. "I am feeling great, but very tired," added the former nurse, standing in a driving rain a day after she had stood in the White House, watching her daughter become the first Hispanic nominee to the high court. "I guess the best word is overwhelmed." Yes, overwhelmed, and proud. But pride and a belief the strength of family has long been a two-way street in this mother-daughter relationship. Proof of that can be found in a commencement speech Sonia Sotomayor gave at Lehman College in the Bronx in 1999, long before her name was attached to the highest court in the land. It speaks volumes about how - and from whom - Sotomayor learned to look beyond the walls of the Bronxdale Houses, from which she rose to the towering citadels of the Ivy League and, finally, to a nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States. "I decided to tell you a story - the story of my mother's life," the younger Sotomayor began that day. "It is ... a story of what hope, hard work, education and dedication to make a better life can achieve." It also made her own up-from-her-bootstraps story seem almost unremarkable by comparison - how her mom was orphaned in rural Puerto Rico at age 9, after her mother died and her father abandoned the family. She told how her mom reveled in what few studies were available to girls back then, when most on the island were illiterate, and how she would memorize each lesson by pretending to teach the trees in her backyard with a stick as a pointer. And how, at 17, her mom escaped the crushing poverty of Lajas, Puerto Rico, by joining the U.S. Army to become a member of the Women's Army Corps, which trained her in Georgia to become a telephone operator. "I can only imagine the culture shock my mom must have felt as a youth, somewhere between childhood and womanhood, trying to work in the South with a Spanish-only grammar school education," the younger Sotomayor, who knows a thing or two about culture shocks, told graduates that day. Celina Sotomayor persevered, and soon she found a husband and a new life in the Bronx, where she began working at Prospect Hospital as a telephone operator and later a registered nurse.

Too bad the people you listened to and got your information from weren't able or interested in grasping the full context and meaning of what she said. I'll do their work for them, and for you since you claim to want to know about her words. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/5/27/161136/209 She's actually saying that she would use her experience and background to not be biased based on race. Now let's end the stupid premise that she's somehow racist, or biased against whites.
Umm, she has not backtracked as of yet. It's Obama and his spokesperson who realize some damage control is in order. Probably another example of team Obama didn't do their vetting job adequately.
lolololol right, Obama doesn't know how to pick a judge for the supreme court and the fact that rush limbaugh is whining about something she said means they must not have known about it and just picked her name out of a hat, lolololololol cause otherwise Rush & co would have been peachy with it lolololol.
