Benjamin Cardozo was a Portuguese Jew(very rare by the way). Cardozo is a Portuguese name. How he is even being considered a spic, is beyond me. Portugal and Spain are two totally different countries in every aspect(language, culture,cuisine, etc…). The only thing these two countries have in common, are that of being neighbors. France also neighbors Spain and i doubt people are confusing the French of being spics. Such ignorance! I am Portuguese/American, and would be furious if someone confused me with being spic.

Sotomayor quotes Norman thomas…look at her yearbook and other things she has said!!!…it should show you where her mind set is

“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” Norman Thomas

I will say that I have not read all the comments. I did read a couple that sounded rather racist – the chest thumping of the white male majority, who only wants to deal with minorities in the sense that we should be worshipping at the white man’s feet and show gratitude for all he has done for us.

As a Latina, who has had years of life experience, I will say that not all minorities are alike, much as not all white men are alike. However, the question about Justice Sotomayor is not one of racism. The issue is whether she is qualified to be a Supreme Court Judge.

If she believes, as most of the video and transcript evidence has shown, she is not qualified. Justice must be color-blind, and judges, regardless of what court they are appointed to, should realize that they are there to interpret the law and the constitution, and not to make policy from the bench.

Maybe if by some miracle she is not confirmed, she will learn this the hard way. And from what has been said about her, she has overcome bigger obstacles.

I am just saddened that all Latinos/Hispanics will be colored by the broad brush that some people wish to use.

As a hispanic, I’m ashamed that she’s a hispanic and has stated such a racial statement! She SHOULD NOT BE placed as a judge!

I shouldn’t respond as my usual practice is to ignore the mutterings from anyone I’ve consigned to the bozo bin. However, it sounds like you’re finally giving it up. Which will be good for you.

Since I did respond, I’ll address your muttering.

There’s actually two options I’ve exercised in deconstructing your inanity. The first refusing to be sidetracked into responding to strawmen and non sequiturs, instead emphasizing your sophomoric commitment to lying about the recorded comments in a debate where you displayed the reading comprehension, understanding of math, and cognition of a moron. The second was pointing out the glaring contradictions between your background claims and the intellectual failings and dishonesty that make that claim such obvious nonsense.

I have been substantially and demonstrably correct in what I said originally and as a followup. I have little doubt that I’m correct in deriding your background claim as a last desperate attempt to gain some imaginary intellectual credibility – transparently contradicted by the available evidence indicating that, instead, you came off as rather stupid.

Sorry, I meant “your” not “you’re”. I’ve clearly spent far too much time at this site since I am making the same errors as Chuck Pelto.

You think I didn’t see that one coming? I knew the truth would be so painful you’re only option would be to accuse me of lying about my scientific background. Perhaps you can find solace in this: invite Chuck over, draw the shades and enjoy your right wing circle jerk.

I have no problem with Obama raising my taxes. It was another reason why I voted for him.

If a white male made the same statements that this narrow minded bigot made. David S and the liberal left in America would have wanted him tarred, feathered and run out of town. The double standard in this country is getting terrible. Her career shows a history of bias rulings and over 60% have been over turned. She has stated that laws are made on from the bench; her bench is what she is talking about. This woman is inept because of her background and will be the biggest far left wing bigoted individual to taint our great court. Being a bigot even in reverse whatever that means is terrible but the left wing in America wants to keep being a racist alive and well in this country. Somehow in America if you are any race that is capable of producing more babies then the other races you can become the majority and no longer the minority. Even if the father’ of those babies have no intention on supporting those babies and letting the current majority support your kids. She grew up in a single house hold raised by her mother and wants us to think that she somehow has risen up from the ashes. I bet if you took a look at the free money we have given her to go to school because she got minority favor and support it would be amazing. She will get this post because the GOP will be afraid of losing the huge Hispanic vote if they trash this bigot. That’s too bad that this race has become the majority on the backs of the rest of us as they seem to be unable to support their own race.
