After all, Sotomayer is qualified as a Supreme Court candidate. All of her colleagues say she is personally nasty and has a disagreeable temperament, and is a bully on the bench, and that she is a mental lightweight. Aside from that, what's not to like.
She will rule in favor of liberal causes, and that's what counts.She will rule for expansion of government power if exercised by leftist authoritarian government proponents. She will, rule to give judgments requested to favor so-called minorities, black, ethnic, women, regardless of precedent, being motivated by empathy for those with whom she identifies. She will vote for privilege and not putting any burden on illegal aliens, benefits, voting rights, border access.
Well, why enumerate all of these minutiae. Suffice it to say, she will do it blatantly and unashamedly because it is retribution time, and she deserves to be in a position to exact retribution because this is a democracy, and the people democratically selected a man, whom they put in power, with the ability to make such appointments.
Appointing Sotomayer to the position where she can impose her discriminatory beliefs is what we have in this democracy. It is the will of the people, who put the man with the power to appoint her in office as well as a compliant Senate. So don't complain unless you are undemocratic.
Look at Sotomayer's sterling qualifications.
1. She was raised by a single mother. That's qualifying for many things, maybe even mixing formulas in a chemistry lab, or being a phlebotomist?. Huh? Well, qualifying for Supreme Court appointment anyway.
2. She was poor. Well, that's not "really" true. She and her one sister were raised by a mother who was a Registered Nurse, so their income level was above the norm. But what the heck, maintain the fiction.
3. She was raised in a housing project. What were their income requirements? Did they qualify for low-rent housing, or did her mother "misreport" her income to qualify? Why with her income, did the mother choose to live in a housing project?
4. She was raised in a Puerto Rican community in the Bronx. Well, this seems sort of "racist," or to be some sort of "ethnic slur" that being raised among Puerto Ricans is so noxious and oppressive that it's a debility to be overcome. Shameful proposition.
These are the specious "qualifications" (whether or not they are true) presented as meriting appointment to the Supreme Court. Raised by a single mother. Poor. Lived in a housing project. Raised among Puerto Ricans. And is a woman and a Puerto Rican .
Sotomayer herself presents her insights as arising from the fact that she is a "Latina woman" as providing her with special skills.
Shortcomings notwithstanding, we live in a democracy, and the people have chosen through their elected representatives to make this candidate a sitting Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Elections count.
So, as some lowlifes say about being raped, that the victim was responsible because she lured the rapist on with her feminine pulchritude and that she should relax and enjoy it, here some of you feel that you are being "raped" with the appointment of a disagreeable incompetent racist ideologue like Sotomayer. So, I provide similar counsel. You folks elected Barry, who nominated her, and the Senate that will confirm her, so lean back and enjoy it. This will probably be a long term screwing depending how unstable the government and our system is, of course. Will there be a time when some who support her appointment might recognize that her rulings are not providing them with an ecstatic experience?
