Sotomayor cites Boston on perils of profiling
Associated Press ^ | May 2, 2013 10:52 PM EDT | Dan Elliott

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said Thursday the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombings shows how difficult and sensitive the issue of racial profiling can be.

Speaking with young students in Denver, Sotomayor noted that some people asked whether authorities had done enough to track the two suspects, both ethnic Chechens.

“Is that profiling? Could be,” she said. “Is it something you just can't ignore? Maybe sometimes not.” …

In another day before affirmative-action (a type of profiling), sontomeyer would be cleaning toilets in a cheesy motel somewhere.

We were correct that the bombers would be Muslims.

But yes, shame on us for assuming that most Muslims are from the Middle East.

Isn’t it amazing that the so-called intelligensia of our country who are lauded for their brains really have ‘bats in the belfry’.

The fools on the left are worried sick that muslims will catch crap after one of them murders a bunch of innocent people. It’s baffling. They’re interfering with the natural order of things. Muslims deserve ridicule, and ridicule works. The left knows that ridicule works! Consider the “gay” issue where anyone opposed to anything gay is immediately called a “homophobe”, or “bigot” and so on - and public opinion on the issue has changed so much that gay marriage now seems inevitable.. In this way, the left has blood on their hands. I remember when they came to the defense of muslims at large on 9/11, the ruins were still smouldering. Disgusting.

As it is, the terrorist are able to carry out their attacks without fear of backlash from the public. That’s backwards.

Know who one of the biggest Sotomayor cheerleaders was??

Yep, Marco Rubio’s chief of staff...Cesar Conda.

Wow...great find AuntB

Looks like Rubio’s George Soros link is just a mojito away from being Raul Grijalva clone.

When he left Cheney, he went to work for Soros.

It’s all here.

Who is Cesar Conda?

Rubio needs to drop him, unless he’s in agreement with him.

“Rubio needs to drop him, unless he’s in agreement with him.”

Rubio ‘hired’ Conda before he was elected to the senate. Do you think a power player like Conda goes to work for a lowly state representative, or did Rubio go to work for him? Be sure of this...where Conda is, there is Norquist. I’ve been tracking their side by side dealing for 8 years...also on board nearly always with them is Karl Rove.

They use the tea party label to get Rubio elected.

A third tier mediocrity chosen because of her race and her enthusiasm for murdering unborn children. A national embarrassment. In fact, we need MORE not less profiling.The two Boston terrorists were young foreign Muslims. Two of their after the fact accessories were also young foreign Muslims. The third after the fact accomplice was young, foreign and probably Muslim as well, although the media will not tell us: he’s from Ethiopia where the population is about 50 percent Muslim, 50 percent Christian. The media misleadingly refers to this guy as “an American citizen” without noting that he is in fact naturalized, the new breed of immigrant who comes for the free stuff but despises our country and its way of life. A sensible profiling policy that kept young foreign Muslims out of country would have prevented the two World Trade attacks and the Boston attack. By keeping Major Hassan’s father in his Egyptian hole, it would have saved the fine young people at Fort Hood as well.
