Sotomayor: 'I'm Very Optimistic About The Power of Minorities
Truth Revolt ^ | 3/11/2014 | staff

On Monday, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor stated that she believed that women and minorities had to crash the halls of power in order to “change the dialogue in this country.” She said that “money” was the obstacle to women and minorities having a say in government, adding, “we’re going to have to work the political system at the highest level.”

Sotomayor was speaking at the University of Washington, pushing her book, My Beloved Life. A student questioned if she was optimistic about the future of the country. She stated, “I’m very optimistic about the power of minorities to change the dialogue in this country.”

“Optimistic about the future of minorities in America”

Translation: “Let’s make America look like the Balkans!”

A student questioned if she was optimistic about the future of the country. She stated, “I’m very optimistic about the power of minorities to change the dialogue in this country.”

So she did not answer the question.
I am not optimistic about the future. We have far to many takers and fakers and not enough makers.

>> “we’re going to have to work the political system at the highest level.”

Is that what the wise latino woman is doing, working the system? She never should have been a judge nevermind on the Supreme Court.

It tells you that she views things through the lens of an agenda.

It’s actually a Blue State rescue plan. Without those transfer payments I can tell you that both Illinois and Chicago would be bankrupt.

Let her be optimistic and let’s keep her and the rest of the progressive caucus in the minority on the Court, in Congress and in a majority of the states.

Did they ever have the time to get a roundtoit?

I guess the entire continent just leap-frogged the wheel itself and jumped strsight to interplanetary travel.

I inadvertently left out the best part. Sotomayor also characterized the Supreme Court as “the most moral institution” in government.

Man, that's a really good joke: she should be in stand-up comedy, not wasting time sitting on the USSC!

Now that she’s given us her personal agenda we know what to expect.
