It would be nice to have a justice that could read a law and not rewrite in in their image. This country was not built on unpredictable political change like recently but steady work mostly in the same direction. Lately every politician has to pull the levers and push the buttons to their own end not for the best of the country.

“What if she did that transgender thing? That might be amusing.”

Well...according to Alex Jones, Ted Cruz already beat her to that, when he allegedly liked to crossdress as a woman to parade through the women’s dormitories and play Peeping Tom. Perhaps Sotomayor had that in mind when she spoke about diversity, hands across the aisle to appoint Cruz as a replacement for Scalia. Cruz gets his choice of flowing gowns and collars to wear on the bench.

"A different perspective can permit you to more fully understand the arguments that are before you and help you articulate your position in a way that everyone will understand," she said.

Agreed. Let's get a couple entrepreneurs on the court so that they can weigh in with their perspective that the regulatory Welfare State is killing American enterprise and start ruling a lot of state power grabs of the private sector unconstitutional.

A Scalia-like constitutional constructionist would add some real diversity to the SCOTUS... but I doubt that’s what the wise-a$$ latina had in mind.

Sotomayor has proven herself to be in the bottom percentile of affirmative action judicial appointments.

“Son-Ya probably knows a black lesbian from Skokie who could fill Scalia’s shoes”

Sure she does. Barack Hussein Obama: gay, drag queen, non-white, non-Christian, mentally incompetent, and a Communist. What more could you want on the Supreme Court?

Sonya Sotomayor is a leftist robot. There is no thought, no analysis, no independence - only leftist cliches.

Sotomayor said varied backgrounds help justices to consider and understand issues differently, based on their experience.

“A different perspective can permit you to more fully understand the arguments that are before you and help you articulate your position in a way that everyone will understand,” she said.

Collectivistic polylogism is erroneous because it ignores the fact that the truth of a fact of reality or a valid logical conclusion based on a fact of reality is independent of the collectivistic group observing it or logically contemplating it.

“Justice for ALL” is Color blind.

Endowed by our Creator...is Color blind.

There should never be ‘diversity’ with regard to the United States Constitution because it’s not necessary. Either one is able to rightly judge constitutionally, or one isn’t, and that has absolutely NOTHING to do with color, race, nationality, religion.

Cultural preference has no place constitutionally. The Constitution is the law of the land regardless of cultural preference.

All Men are created Equal is the Spirit of the Constitution. Lincoln coined it with a definition.

Political affiliation has no place with regard to the United States Constitution as it’s intended to be judged on it’s own merits, not according to a political ideology.

The lady on the bench seems not to understand the United States Constitution and she should be removed for that reason.
