  • sad that this woman was able to get so far all do to a.a. another reason why aa needs to be removed!

  • What I would have liked her to do is to look at LATINO prejudice. Also, with Obama, a disappointment with the Boston police case. This is a great opportunity for the Latino community to look at itself and ask whether there is prejudice in its heart against all people who are not exactly like, ethnically and religiously, the majority of Latinos. But here she is failing and only seeming to commiserate with people who are exactly like her. This is self-centered, boring and nothing new.

  • well, I think I agree, but at the same time, even if she stood by what she said, I don't think she meant it maliciously. It, to me, it seemed like a failed joke or quip if you will. I don't think she really believes she's superior in any way... I suppose she could say so from where she's sitting now, lol... but I'd give her a little more credit. She isn't where she is by accident. She's not so dumb as to believe it how it sounded. I think people are being too sensitive.

  • unimpressive. This is the best we could get? Sad.

  • He thinks that if he has a chance for a second term he needs the 40 million Mexicans to vote for him.He has all the BLACKS thats for sure so between the BLACKS and the MEXICANS he is a shoe in.TOUGH for us whites we got nobody.GOD HELP US !!

  • that is not what she was saying. she's saying that because of her experience with discrimination, she has a better understanding of what its like to be discriminated against than someone who hasn't experienced it. your fictitious quote would be in the proper context phrased as:

    "Since I've been discriminated against, I believe I have a better understanding of discrimination."

  • wow she is great

  • republicans crazy no cry

    hahahahahahahahahahaha

  • VIVA Sonia Sotomayor!!!!!!!

    CONGRATULATION!!!!!!

    The first PUERTORRICAN judge in the Supreme Court of U.S.A.

    From Puerto Rico,U.S.A.

  • At the riot, no militias are regulated. Plead against standing armies, quartered at riot, you pop open the gun-locker. Judge Sotomayor has a high profile, among the movie-mystics. Stallone foreshadows RUTH BADER, by ruthless killer parts in the 1980s, while Antonio Banderas shows Sonia Sotomayor. Bad news, Iron Butterfly, Creedence in 'TRAVELLING BAND,' and Skynyrd in 'That Smell' foreshadow a dire failure of a 747, in 2011, over corruption and graft, already evident. See DESIGNING WOMEN.
