  • Almost all Latinos thought Sotomayor was well qualified & strongly supported her

    By voting against her the GOP lost 1 Senate Seat in Nevada, 2 in Arizona, & 2 in Texas.

    The GOP tent has now become a pup tent.

  • not worried about her race or that she is a woman .....she has been the most overuled judge........she's had a majority of her rulings overruled in higher courts....it is about fair judgement . i am glad to see a woman and a hispanic nominated .....her rulings is what i am concerned about

  • If the term Hispanic refers to Hispania which is the Iberian peninsula then wouldn't she be the 2nd Hispanic judge after Benjamin Cardozo?

  • @momzilla57

    No, you're not concerned that she's had an inordinate number of her rulings overturned in higher courts. According to trollorbetrolled, you're opposed to her because you are White and you are racist!! And if trollorbetrolled says that you're White and racist, then that's what you are. Trollorbetrolled is too intelligent to be incorrect LOL

  • @trollorbetrolled

    Among all the comments posted here, the word "racist" is used once, and the word "racism" not at all. So to whom are your referring? Only one person used the term racist, and how do you know that one person is white? Are you clairvoyant? Or just more intelligent and better educated than everyone else in the world LOL!

    While working on my doctorate, I met fellow students from all over the world. You should've heard what some of them had to say about Blacks & Hispanics.

  • Just look at the white peoples' comments about racism in these videos! Projecting much???

  • why is this important news? is Al Franken the punchline?

  • sotomayor is a satanist.

  • more freedom to world, better minorities rule planet
