Some of us are old enough to remember the 1991 Clarence Thomas confirmation.
We don't recall much interest in Mr. Thomas' childhood.
No one spoke about his grandfather, a great man who taught him about life.
For 24 hours, the media has been on high gear about Sotomayor's background and story.
When can we finally have a discussion about the judge's opinions or record?
I am looking forward to that!
As I posted before, let Sonia Sotomayor have her day and explain her positions.
P.S. I am concerned about this:
""Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama's pick to become the newest Supreme Court justice, is on the record with some controversial remarks about 'diversity,' 'judicial activism' and female judges vs. male judges.
For example, the New York Times reported that in 2001, at the annual Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture, Sotomayor had this to say:
“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.”
“Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences,” she said later, regarding non-white, female judges, “our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”" (Newsmax)
