A Judge’s View of Judging Is on the Record [2009: Sotomayor says ethnicity affects judges!]
NY Times ^ | 5/14/09 | Charlie Savage

Posted on 06/07/2016 6:37:22 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

In 2001, Sonia Sotomayor, an appeals court judge, gave a speech declaring that the ethnicity and sex of a judge “may and will make a difference in our judging.”

In her speech, Judge Sotomayor questioned the famous notion — often invoked by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her retired Supreme Court colleague, Sandra Day O’Connor — that a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same conclusion when deciding cases.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusio....

There is a reason weak minded idiots like Soda-mediocre go into law instead of something requiring logic...like STEM.

Her idiotic utterings are ample proof.

Hopefully, the time will come when we realize that we do not have to follow their rulings.

And back up our reluctance with force.

Sotomayor should have NEVER been confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice.

Sotomayor should NEVER have been confirmed for the Supreme Court. She is biased, even opening celebrates it. What an embarrassment that she was confirmed. We need her removed or retired from the court. Trump is right, even if his method offends some people. Any judge in any court room that is biased, that is a member of a group, such as La Raza, the KKK, or whatever, needs to go.

Trump is just echoing the recent 7-0
Decision by the SC regarding a Blackman case with a white jury.
If it’s good for a Blackman it should be the same for a white man

Trunk is sticking it to LaRaza , the SD Federal Judge AND the SCOTUS

He will wait till all are standing on the rug before he pulls it out from under them

The left celebrates bias, but when a conservative mentions it, he’s a racist.

“The news release from the LaRasa Legal group against Trump last summer”

Those who say LaRaza Legal Group is not affiliated with LaRaza are telling the truth that is buried within a lie. Actually it provides legal council Hispanic illegals and supports the LaRaza mission statement. If you want to learn more, do some Googling on MEChA, Atazlan, Azteca, etc. what you will find are intertwined organizations all supporting the objective of taking over the U.S. southwest that previously belonged to Mexico. And, once that is accomplished, purge or cleanse these lands of all whites and non-Hispanics in general. Appears to me that Trump is on to something...

Precisely
Looks like it’s up to “we the people” to get the message out

So much for Multi-cultural. Latino culture has been ruled superior to all others; by an impartial member of the United States Supreme Court.

A statement by one of our country’s highest officials is proof that white America is undergoing a conquest.

I hope your views indicate a trend as normal political methods no longer function. It is time to fight!

It just keeps getting better!

This is gonna be another educational fun-for-all watching the progressives in "both" parties hang themselves with their latest carefully chosen rope for Trump.

Lady Justice won't be able to suppress her smile much longer if this keeps up.

Pray for Donald Trump's continual Divine protection and guidance. He's taking it to the Beast!
