Sotomayor Uses "Undocumented Immigrant" in Supreme Court Opinion; Never Happened Before

From this:

In an otherwise dry opinion, Justice Sotomayor did introduce one new and politically charged term into the Supreme Court lexicon.

Justice Sotomayor’s opinion in the case, Mohawk Industries v. Carpenter, No. 08-678, marked the first use of the term "undocumented immigrant," according to a legal database. The term "illegal immigrant" has appeared in a dozen decisions.

This is a relatively minor issue, but expect things to get worse and maybe even much worse. At this point in time, it's worth looking back at those who basically took a fall after she was nominated; that will be covered in a future post.

Was she speaking of Obummer?

“Undocumented immigrant”

Eaker, I'd like to ask you for a favor since you seem to be good with photoshop.

Can you get ahold of one of Obama's erstwhile "certificates of live birth" and photoshop it so it reads "University of East Anglia CRU" embossed or stamped on it?

Cheers!

“Undocumented Immigrant”

Sotomayor strikes again! Sonia...they are not any kind of immigrant! They are squatters, here illegally. As a legal ‘authority’ you should know the legal term is ‘ALIEN’.

Wise latino, my butt.

Ms. Sotomayor is dumb as a doorknob, as granny would say.

Obama put Sotomayor there to suckup to Mexico——to make sure reconquista goes smoothly.

I prefer “invaders” to illegal alien or undocumented alien. It’s what they are. They have crossed a border without permission. You don’t call vermin in your basement “undocumented pets” you call them invaders.

“I prefer “invaders” to illegal alien or undocumented alien. It’s what they are. They have crossed a border without permission. You don’t call vermin in your basement “undocumented pets” you call them invaders.”

“Squatters only begins to describe what is going on...”

Indeed. I like the border patrol’s version:

WHAT IS AN ARMY? (The invasion of the USA)

From The US Border Patrol
http://www.usborderpatrol.com/Border_Patrol901_10.htm
Immigrant Effects, Part 10 (all 10 parts are amazing!)

The United States of America spent over forty years defending itself against a terrible foe. That foe was the Soviet Union.

The United States built 70,000 nuclear weapons of 65 different types to protect ourselves from a Soviet army of two million men. That two million man army was composed of Christians (the govenment leaders were definately not Christian) who were responsible for fine art, fine music, the first man in space and rockets to the moon.

What makes up an army? An army is made of men between the age of 15 and 35.

What comes across our border by the millions each year? Men between the ages of 15 and 35.

Afghan drug lords are now teamed with Mexican drug cartels to flood our cities with heroin. In Mexico, this Muslim Connnection to the drug cartels has brought beheadings to the streets of border towns. Many Mexican cities are now surrounded by Mexican Army troops and tanks — all to quel the violence. The city of Tijuana had its entire 3,000 man police force disarmed and replaced with Mexican Federal Troops.

What we have below are two images. One is of an enemy we fought tooth and claw for seventy years nearly bankrupting our country. The other we today invite across our border with welfare, free medical care, and more. The centers of many American cities are now controlled by MS-13 and others of the most violent gangs in America’s entire history. These gangs want to kill police and federal agents to rise in reputation among their own kind. Our prisons are now filled with a violent criminal class never seen before anywhere on earth.

In all of the 70 years of the Soviet Union — including the years of the proxy war of Vietnam.— they killed fewer Americans in total than Mexican Illegal Aliens do inside this country in a single year.

Sotomayor is an unintelligent, affirmative action, racist pig.
