And when somebody thinks that her race makes her better able to decide what is right, that is exactly what she is.
The offending quote from Judge Sotomayor via Michelle Malkin.
I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.
And Rush’s take from Mark Halperin via Hot Air.
So, here you have a racist. You might want to soften that and you might wanna say a reverse racist. And the libs, of course, say that minorities cannot be racists because they don’t have the power to implement their racism. Well, those days are gone because reverse racists certainly do have the power to implement their power. Obama is the greatest living example of a reverse racist and now he’s appointed one — getting this, AP? — Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court …
So she’s not the brain that they’re portraying her to be, she’s not a constitutional jurist. She is an affirmative action case extraordinaire and she has put down white men in favor of Latina women. She has claimed that the court is all about making policy. So yes, there’s a golden opportunity. Take this to the mat. Take it to the wall. The people need to know what Obama really believes in and this is how it could happen. Now will the Republicans do it? That’s another question.
Rush is, of course, correct that this nominee cannot likely be stopped. But it is a superb teaching moment under the klieg lights of 24/7 coverage of the hearings to show the American people what conservatives mean when they say that judges must follow the law, regardless of their personal background and feelings, which is, in fact, the defining characteristic of a good judge.
The American people need to have the mysterious cloud of constitutional interpretation blown aside to reveal exactly what “empathetic” judging means and how it is a euphemism for subjective, lawless, preferential treatment of one group over another. In that scenario, all Americans are not treated equally, and such decisions provide no clarity for what will happen the next time, unless, of course, you get the same judge.
