Sonia Sotomayor has not yet retracted some of her more offensive remarks. Apparently she lacks the strength to pull her foot out of her mouth long enough to say what she "really" meant. Always a gentleman, Barack Obama has come to her defense. Her most infamous remark is as follows. "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." Barack Obama has now stated that "I'm sure she would have restated it" in an interview with NBC News. The only problem ... Read Full Story

By Patrick J. Buchanan When you think about it, Sonia Sotomayor is the perfect pick for the Supreme Court — in Barack Obama’s America. Like Obama, himself a beneficiary of affirmative action, she thinks “Latina women,” because of their life experience, make better judicial decisions than white men, that discrimination against white men to advance people of color is what America is all about, that appellate courts are “where policy is made” in the United States. To those who believe the depiction of our first Hispanic justice as an anti-white liberal judicial activist, hearken to her own words. Speaking at Berkeley in 2001, Sonia ... Read Full Story

The talking heads have been doing the television circuit recently decrying President Barack Obama’s nominee to the Supreme Court to replace Justice Souter as a racist, activist judge with empathetic leans and tits. The titular head—not to be confused with boob head—of the Republican Party, Rush Limbaugh, reaffirmed his accusations of racism against Sotomayor, even as Newt “Don’t Call Me Kermit” Gingrich was back peddling faster than Senator Jeff Sessions at a NAACP meeting. It seems that someone bothered to tell the Republican Party that their recent losses in nearly every demographic group would not be helped by alienating the fastest growing minority in ...

By Jesse J. Holland, AP WASHINGTON (AP) - Apparently, no one told Sonia Sotomayor that Supreme Court justices are supposed to be circumspect, emerging from their marble palace mainly to dispense legal wisdom to law schools, judges' conferences and lawyers' meetings. Since becoming the first Hispanic justice, Sotomayor has mamboed with movie stars, exchanged smooches with musicians at the White House and thrown out the first pitch for her...
