On topic?
One thing about this odious, bitter little cunt is she writes like Moneywar:
The following paragraph from the "Wise Latina" speech is thoroughly representative. It contains both glaring bloopers and more subtly off-key notes that demonstrate a deafness to the conventions of English style:
However, to understand takes time and effort, something that not all people are willing to give. For others, their experiences limit their ability to understand the experiences of others [clumsy]. Other [sic] simply do not care. Hence, one must accept the proposition that a difference there will be by [huh?] the presence of women and people of color on the bench. Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose to see. My hope is that I will take the good from my experiences and extrapolate them [we are expecting "it" here] further into areas with which I am unfamiliar. I simply do not know exactly what that difference [which "difference?" there is no immediate antecedent for "that"] will be in my judging. But I accept there will be some ["some" what?] based on my gender and my Latina heritage.
Or take this sentence: "The aspiration to impartiality is just that it's an aspiration because it denies the fact that we are by our experiences making different choices than others." It is possible to make out what Sotomayor intended to say, but no thanks to her actual choice of words. An "aspiration" does not "deny" anything, and it is not an aspiration because it "denies" something. Presumably she means something along the lines of: "We can aspire to impartiality, but never achieve it," but what she actually wrote is a far cry from that.
Here are just a few more sentences from the speech that are off-kilter; there are many more like them:
"Nevertheless, much still remains to happen."
"For people of color and women lawyers, what does and should being an ethnic minority mean in your lawyering?"
"I also hope that by raising the question today of what difference having more Latinos and Latinas on the bench will make will start your own evaluation."
She sticks commas into clauses randomly: "and because as, another former law school classmate, Professor Martha Minnow of Harvard Law School, states . . ."
Jesus Fucking Christ.
This is a Supreme Court Nominee.
