Liberal blogger, Greg Sargeant, reports that Judge Sotomayor's wise Latina comment is nearly identical to another comment she made in 1994.

Justice O’Connor has often been cited as saying that “a wise old man and a wise old woman reach the same conclusion in dueling cases. I am not so sure Justice O’Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes the line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, if Prof. Martha Minnow is correct, there can never be a universal definition of ‘wise.’ Second, I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experience would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion

Ah, come on, everyone knows: that a ‘wise’ Latina woman, with her ‘rich’ life experiences, would come to a ‘better’ conclusion — of how to put out a fire — than a white male!

Stick around, if Obama gets his way, it just might happen!
