Affirmative action........... color and ethnic background gets you the job! not experience, character, honor, integrity, personality, hard work, perseverance, determination, background, appearance, HOW DEGRADING IT MUST BE TO BE GIVEN SOMETHING FOR WHAT YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU KNOW. And they continue to accept it as an accomplishment a compliment, recognition. SAD A##eS

This incredibly stupid, unhinged woman actually holds power over our lives and fortunes.

I'm physically unable to comment further on this state of affairs.....

Yes even a hotel maid like unwise latina Sotomayor can be hustled onto the SCOTUS. What those cretins did to a very qualified candidate like the late Robert Bork was despicable.

Sotomayor is living proof that if you go to college not knowing anything, you’ll more than likely graduate still not knowing anything. At least that good old “affirmative action” got her a lifetime gig on the Supreme Court. She’s got it made in the land of free stuff.

When one uses Affirmative Action it shows your one of the slow ones.

I do not object to affirmative action; I object to Sotomayor.

OK, back in the early 80’s Michelle Rodgerson (or whatever her name was before she became Obama/Soetero’s `beard’) was lying in bed wide awake in the small hours, wondering about her future, que sera sera sera and all that good stuff, thinking about turning in her journal for her senior thesis, when suddenly there’s the blinding flash of light, a stench of sulfur and sure enough, standing at the foot of her bed, Yup—it’s Lucifer. Of course he wants her soul.
(whew, long sentence!)
Beelzeebub explains that he can give her fame, wealth, a passing grade on her diary/thesis, anything she wants, and tells her that she already owes him for getting her into Princeton.
She replies that it really isn’t that hard for colored girls with a pulse to get into Princeton, and he concedes this,
so then Micky says, “What do I have to do in return for all this, Red Devil?”
And Satan hissed back, “I’ll want your immortal soul in Hell for eternity, with you roasting slowly on a spit forever.
“Oh, and you will carry around a huge `caboose’ for the rest of your life.”
She scratched her itchy scalp, rolled her eyes and finally said, “OK, what’s the catch?”

They preach fairness and justice. AA is inherently unfair and unjust.

And as the country slides closer and closer to the cliff, we start to understand why - the Affirmative Action generation is coming of age and taking over......

She’s proud of being inferior.

In other words affirmative discrimination promoted a liberal hack over someone more qualified. Another reason to get rid of it.

The story of the person who did not get accepted to Princeton because she did would be much more interesting than the story of this “wise latina” token.
