Of course when FReepers say “Justice” they mean the real thing. But its obvious that Sotomayor and her ilk mean something evil and noxious when they think of Justice.
I would therefore far rather have a Judge who acted according to the Law, than according to his/her own sense of Justice.
Justice is up to the legislators - the people who create Law. Their sense of Justice is at least somewhat accountable to the People.
But a Judge should only apply the Law.
"Justice" to the Spaniards means revenge against the Anglo-Saxons for humiliating them over and over in the Americas and pretty much everywhere else. They had such a high opinion of themselves and us Evil Anglos destroyed that little myth rather persuasively.
So they have to get back at us, to salve the wound to their legendary and unwarranted Pride. The idiot Baby Boomer generation has enabled them to do so, under the rubric of "civil rights".
This is what motivates human trash like Sotomayor: An all consuming hatred and bigotry against Anglo-Saxon males. Because they built a better and more successful society then her familia, and they refused to bow to the Spaniard Conquistadors, of whom she is a descendant.
It's a hatred that lasts generations in her world. Only fools would hand her the tools to allow her to do it.
