Nomination
Alrighty then. Obama has nominated Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court:
Sotomayor readily admits that she applies her feelings and personal politics when deciding cases. In a 2002 speech at Berkeley, she stated that she believes it is appropriate for a judge to consider their “experiences as women and people of color,” which she believes should “affect our decisions.” She went on to say in that same speech “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.” She reiterated her commitment to that lawless judicial philosophy at Duke Law School in 2005 when she stated that the “Court of Appeals is where policy is made.”
Who knows what other bullcrap she's shat out of her racist, sexist cakehole. And who knows how hard Colin Powell's Republican Party will oppose her. As I've said before, this says more about Obama than anything else, and it's clear: he wants a liberal. He wants someone with "empathy" who will create laws from the court bench. He wants someone who will pay lip service to the constitution, but will mostly just judge things by their personal sense of "richness of experience" and consider the plight of "people of color."
Hope and change, baby.
