Sure...what could be more “unifying” then dividing us by race.

how many white slots will Obama allow?

[aliquando]

Why don’t we just let LA Raza pick the next supreme? Jeesh!

[stan_sipple]

what about the Aboriginal agenda?

Free Miguel!!

[RightWhale]

there are cases where it really matters" to have a Latino perspective

Totalizing and universalizing is not a basis for standing. A legal perspective might matter.

“First Hispanic Supreme Court Justice”??????

I didn’t know the SC was bi-lingual!!!

badaboom

[Breyean]

I’m sure Miguel Estrada is still available.

[stan_sipple]

Didnt Miguel Estrada count?

[NTegraT]

"but we deserve it."

Huh? How do you, as a group, DESERVE it? We need the best man to interpret the Constitution, not a token representative.

[stan_sipple]

yup, the Rats and GOP Quislings strung him along forever in limbo. A practicing attorney cant wait forever to take office and also leave his clients hanging.

Whoraldo Rivera for SCOTUS !

[albie]

Good lord. This is pathetic. Get an hispanic judge in there no matter what. Even if he’s pickin weeds the day before, just be sure he/she is hispanic.

[omega4179]

Ridiculous. The SCOTUS is no place for affirmative action it IS the place for the best qualified constitutional Judge.

[nufsed]

To late by a long shot.

What ever happened to nominating the MOST QUALIFIED? As long as the race baiters continue to demand that race be an element of appointment decisions, we will never get past being a racist society. However, the true racists among us are those calling for race as a criterion, not the rest of us.

Lock and load...we’re in for a long four years...

Didn’t Bush want to nominate a hispanic judge but Teddy Kennedy get in a huff about that. In fact, there was an email that was taken off a server and given to the press.
They only cared about that an email was illegaly given to the press.
