This is racism:

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor

"“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor."

Thereby attempting to elevate her moral authority above and beyond that of every white male associate justice on the Supreme Court (Roberts, Scalia, et. al.). These "white males" should be thrilled their opinions are held in such high regard by this upstart affirmative action nobody from a run of the mill law firm. Perhaps Clarence Thomas should ask Sotomayor for equal time to plead his case to be included with the white male justices just in case she's confused about where this superb justice stands on her sophomoric statement.

Nice start.

First time I read that I realized it actually meant something else entirely if understood in Spanish.

They use subjunctive mood to say all sorts of horrible things about each other, claiming they didn't really say it because it's all a series of "if" or "would/could" clauses.

Actually, she screwed up when she said it in English. First of all, she also calls her self a Newyorican, not a "Latina". So it's a trick. You think "Latina" and look at her, and it's not about her, but someone of a totally different culture and race. So, that means you have to flip the rest of it and it becomes "Not her, me" and "I will make a better decision than any white man".

So, yup, she's a smartmouthed Newyorican. And she's a bigot.

She knows something about Obama ~ and it's not nice.
