If I Were A Senator, I Would Vote Against Sotomayor

One factor that always pushes me towards voting for the Republicans is in judicial appointments. I don't see anything good about J. Sotomayor. Not that she is the devil or anything like that, but there is nothing to speak for her. Great, so she is Latina and female (I guess that is redundant, so I can just say "Great, she is Latina" or even "Great-Latina.")

What else is there? She is a rags to riches Bronx story. That is nice. She has been overturned a ton. She thinks she is a better judge because she is female and latin, as she said in 2001 “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

She was part of that stupid firefighter ruling that is about to be overturned by the Supreme Court. She has gone around telling law students that "the federal appeals courts are where policy is made in America."

Well, it shouldn't be.
