Senator Sessions, No Vota Para Racista

Big questions: Where were the "latino" groups for Miguel Estrada? Where were the "civil rights" groups for Miguel Estrada?.... Bueller..... Bueller????

Latinos will be watching Sonia Sotomayors confirmation hearings like hawks for evidence that senators on the Judiciary Committee are mistreating the Second Circuit Court of Appeals Judge, or are mischaracterizing her record, leaders of Latino political, professional and advocacy groups tell ABC News.
We accept tough questions. But what we are going to object to are questions that misrepresent the judge or that distort her record, says Estuardo V. Rodriguez, director of Hispanics for a Fair Judiciary. The nonpartisan umbrella organization includes the Hispanic National Bar Association, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
Judiciary Committee member John Cornyn, R-Texas, said on Fox News Sunday that Sotomayors nomination wont be blocked because Republicans dont have the numbers. But she is expected to explain her 2001 comment that she hoped a wise Latina was more likely to reach better conclusions than a white male without comparable experiences.
Fair game, but for many Latino political groups the game is, and has been, on. Earlier this month when Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the top GOP lawmaker on the Judiciary Committee, called some of the decisions made by the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund (PRLDEF) extreme, the Hispanic National Bar Association fired off a letter to this panels chair, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. The document expresses deep dismay and warns that this kind of mischaracterization by Sessions or others will not be tolerated. A similar letter was sent to the Alabama Republican

No one expects otherwise. Well, maybe one man does. Miguel Estrada was nominated to the DC Appellate Court by George Bush in 2001, and got filibustered by Democrats in 2003. The reason for their opposition was explicitly racist, as this memo to Senator Dick Durbin in 2001 shows:

Second, yesterdays meeting focused on identifying the most controversial and/or vulnerable judicial nominees, and a strategy for targeting them. The group singled out three — Jeffrey Sutton (6th Circuit); Priscilla Owen (5th Circuit); and Caroline Kuhl (9th Circuit) — as a potential nominee for a contentious hearing early next year, with an eye to voting him or her down in Committee. They also identified Miguel Estrada (D.C. Circuit) as especially dangerous, because he has a minimal paper trail, he is Latino, and the White House seems to be grooming him for a Supreme Court appointment. They want to hold off Estrada as long as possible.

White people are the Majority that means "there are more of them" so it is, if only statistically inevitable that they would be more of them in all areas of the economy! (Not because they are RACIST!)

Here's a woman that is said to have sued the two universities that blessed her by granting her Affirmative Action (because she didn't see enough Hispanics ...). She stabbed "white" firefighters in the back (but said she had no choice!). She's made comments about her wisdom being superior to "white males" (though she's offered no specific examples!). AND YET THIS BUM JEFF SESSIONS HAS GIVEN HER HIS BLESSING TO RULE OVER A CLASS OF PEOPLE THAT SHE HATES?!!

WAKE UP! THESE PHONIES ARE ALL SATANIC!!

The last person who needs to comment on SOTOMAYOR is SESSIONS!!!! If you don't know what I'm talking about do some research on SESSIONS! ABE LINCOLN would turn in his grave if he ever saw what his party has become! GOOD NEWS for DEMS, though, looks like there'll be more seats for 2012 if REP keep isolating more minority groups such as woman, gay, black and LATINOS....!

all the way back to the civil war the democrats didn't want Lincoln to fight a war to free the slaves, why not, ? they were racist. For decades they have pissed in the face of minorities and told them its raining, pandering for their vote and then delivered absolutly nothing. Been doing it for decades. Look what they did to justice Thomas and especially to Migeul Estrada. Didn't hear about that? look up secret memo's among democrats to block Estrada. Democrats fart and point at you. Classic BS.
