Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor is an excellent example of why affirmative action is a disaster. Judge Judy is imminently more qualified to be on the bench than Sotomayor, but the Democrats and Obama felt she had two overwhelmingly important qualities to be a Supreme Court justice.
First, she had two “X” chromosomes, which doesn’t really say anything at all about your ability to reason and rule, but it fit the sexual profile demanded by the left. Second, she is a Latina, and the left has been pandering to illegal aliens since Obama took office. In fact, the whole illegal alien, ignore immigration law thing that Obama has dumped on this country could very well have been planned long in advance, knowing that Sotomayor would be a slam dunk to let millions of illegal Latinos stay in the country, and then become Democrat voters in short order after that.
Sotomayor is no intellectual heavyweight. In fact, what she is is a hammer. And to a hammer, everything looks like a nail. So all of her decisions seem to involve seeing discrimination or abuse against women and minorities. It must be tiresome knowing she won’t actually have to invest any intellectual go-power into a case, instead she just looks for the reason to be offended by discrimination and mistreatment of women and minorities, and BAM, she has her legal opinion. Always, of course, reliably leaning far to the left.

quit using the race card -I am so freaking tired of it
Would you expect anything else,
A lot of people have brought up the fact that they won’t vote for Trump if he’s the eventual nominee. I just want to put something in perspective.
Justice Scalia’s seat is vacant. Ginsberg is 82 years old, Kennedy is 79, Breyer is 77, and Thomas is 67. Data shows that the average age of a Supreme Court retirement or death occurs after 75.
These are 5 vacancies that will likely come up over the next 4-8 years. The next President will have the power to potentially create a 7-2 Supreme Court skewed in their ideology.
Think about that… 7-2. If the next President appoints 5 young justices, it will guarantee control of the Supreme Court for an entire generation. And 7-2 decisions will hold up much more over time than 5-4 decisions which are seemed to be lacking in mandate.
Hillary has made it clear she will use the Supreme Court to go after the 2nd Amendment. She has literally said that the Supreme Court was wrong in its Heller decision stating that the Court should overturn and remove the individual right to keep and bear arms. Period.
Everyone saying that they won’t vote for one candidate or the other if they are the GOP nominee, please realize this. If Hillary Clinton wins and gets to make these appointments, you likely will never see another Conservative victory at the Supreme Court level for the rest of your life.
PLEASE, LET THAT SINK IN! You want to see more Sotomayor’s on the bench? Then just vote Hillary.
She doesn’t come across as a wise latina- more like una pendeja racista.
Racist!
The communist needs to go to her motherland!!!!!!!
