Myths, legends, and anthropology all state that the power to name a thing is the power to control or destroy it. A simple and devastating public relations technique is, therefore, to attach a memorable and accurate name to somebody. The Allies, for example, named General Fedor Bock "Der Sterber" ("Let's go get killed") due to his callous remark that it was the function of the German soldier to die for Germany, and they made sure his soldiers knew it. This article will similarly name Sonia Sotomayor, a jurist who seems to confuse the role of the U.S. Supreme Court with that of Congress, "Sonia Quotamayor" for her support of affirmative action race preferences, and also her personal status as a goal or a quota.
Sonia the Quota, aka Sonia Quotamayor, proved what most people have known for years. Affirmative action means hiring, appointing, or promoting people for the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. Sotomayor is obviously not where she is because of her character or her qualifications. Her own words prove that she's grossly unfit to serve in any responsible judicial capacity in an equal opportunity society.
[W]e ought not sit back and wish away, rather than confront, the racial inequality that exists in our society. It is this view that works harm, by perpetuating the facile notion that what makes race matter is acknowledging the simple truth that race does matter.”
Acceptance, acknowledgment, or tolerance of race as a factor in employment, college admissions, housing, and so on, is discrimination by definition.
If you treat one person favorably for the color of his or her skin (or ethnicity), you are discriminating against another, and no amount of hand-waving will change that.

Like any affirmative action loser hire...now try to get rid of her incompetent and petulant presence. Oy vey!
I watched her guest appearance on Sesame Street and how she helped try a “case” involving Goldilocks and the Three Bears. That is the only appropriate venue for her to judge anything.
Just Sonia? How about the Obama?
So was Cruz, Rubio, Thomas, Obama, and many many others.

Sonia Sotomayor looks like she is from a European background. Which makes her WHITE. Why is Spain the one European country whose decedents get AA treatment?
>”So was Cruz, Rubio, Thomas, Obama, and many many others”<
One out of Four ain’t bad...
We know that she wasn’t chosen for her good looks or her judicial acumen.
You don’t think the other 3 are affirmative action types. Wow. You are naive. Oh well you are just being silly.
Affirmative Action “types”?
Hope you don’t own an NBA Team. LOL
That’s me alright, Mr. Silly.
Sotomayor’s parents were from Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans are mostly a black and white racial mix going a long ways back, which is what she looks like, leaning toward the white side.
Sotomayor is a name from Spanish origins. Her parents are white. You can google the pictures.
Just about everyone from Puerto Rico has a Spanish surname, no matter their skin color.
I googled Sotomayor’s parents - mother looks like she has a touch of African ancestry, less than her daughter but so what?
The reason “Hispanics” get affirmative action is because so many of them have African or Amerindian ancestry.
Women get affirmative action hiring preferences. They got on this gravy train. Everyone gets affirmative action except Caucasian and Asian males. And even some Asians males can get it such as Hindus getting SBA loan preferences and more. If you are from certain Asian nations you can get affirmative action.
Plenty of Caucasian (white) Hispanics get affirmative action
