Here comes justice

The truth is that her culture is a bigger issue than her merits, not just for me but for many others who oppose this selection. Hispanic is a very generic term that does not fairly represent the different cultures for which it is so often used. Hispanic is a term that was popularized under the Reagan Regime and is not the choice term for most American-Mexicans. There are many American-Mexican judges who are just as qualified sitting at just as high a level as Sotomayor was before Obama nominated her for the US Supreme Court. I personally feel that he jilted the American-Mexican community, and I will not be voting for him in the next election. He chose a member of a small population group which does not even represent 2% of this 50 state nation to be a representative of the so-called Hispanic community. Why would he choose to skip over at least four or five fully qualified American-Mexican candidates for this powerful seat??? Also, why are five members of the US Supreme Court from New York and New Jersey?!

Proud of President Obama's choice for judge, Sotomayor is greatly intelligent and qualified for the position...if GWH Bush elected her; that says alot. And if the Senate held her back, that resounds their lackluster to advance women or persons of color. Especially if they have a mind to go against the grain.

Come on, Jami!!!

You may not want to accept the fact that she was nominated because she's a Puerto Rican woman, but it is a fact.
If she stood up beside three equally qualified white males, her race and sex would give her an edge.
You can actually say that you feel she would make a good judge because she's a minority female, but you deny that's why she was nominated.

This will known only as a race year.......that is all that is talked about instead of being just a human being it is race race race......thank you all media reporters for you are the responsible ones for this.

Firstly, Jami, you're too hot to be a liberal. Anyway, Obama picked Sotomayor for several reasons. He needed someone to take the heat off of him with North Korea and Iran kicking his ass. Like Obama, she is also a poster child for Affirmative Action. If a white male had said that he hoped he made smarter decisions than a Lation woman, there is no way he would be confirmed as a US Supreme Court justice. Sotomayor is a racist and a sexist by her own statements. Also, she admits on video that she thinks that policy is written from the bench, Lastly, anyone so stupid as to say that the Second Amendment is not an individual's right should not be on the highest court in the land. Hello?!...the Second Amendment is part of the Bill of Rights. She'll probably be confirmed due to a liberal-lapdog media and a hefty majority of democrats in the senate. Obama may be surprised by the fact that she will end up being a pro-life jurist. Won't that be a riot when she tries to overturn the Second Amendment and ends up overtruning Roe v. Wade.

Merits what merits. She has not been invovled in any major court ruleings. She has even gone on camera and said that appeals courts make policys. Appeals courts reder opninons and that is it. She has no clue as to what the job intails, and the only reason she is in the postion is race. She has no business in, on or near the Highest court in this land.

Well Jami?

For some reason my "other" nicer post was not posted here. So now the formalities of social dictate is out the door and I am freeing myself to say what I really mean.

OFF THE CUFF? OHHH so it is acceptable for a person of HISPANIC or LATINO origins to make OFF THE CUFF remarks and get away with it and ONLY have to ... "...JUST EXPLAIN THEM"? WHERE IS YOUR fricken outrage now Jami?

Uhhh yeah Jami, I agree. RAGE is a PERSONAL ISSUE and for you to blatantly endorse someone based ON GENDER and RACE spouting an almost vacant record as merit enough for appointment to such a position just goes to show JUST how racist YOU are.

Again, right and wrong is NOT GENDER OR RACE BIASED nor is discrimination. DISCRIMINATION IS DISCRIMINATION.

You bunch of racist pigs.

TYVM.

Hello Jami:

Let me first say I like you as a host on in session. I don't agree with you a lot of the time, but I think you are great at your job! I just have one question I hope you will answer: You stated: Issue one: Barack Obama did not pick judge Sotomayor just because she is Puerto Rican or female. So I have to ask you this: How do you personally know why he picked her? I do think he picked her for just the reasons you said he did not. The republicans are already down, how would it look if they object to her nomination? Think about it. I think it was a well planned out move by Mr. Obama!

I would love to hear what you think about what I think. Please reply.

I will keep watching & keep up the good job!

I'm happy to see her work her way there, not because of her "race", but because of her qualifications. She's a great candidate, educated, well-qualified, intelligent – everyone bashing her on this blog is jealous. Quit hating, wining, crying, complaining, etc. You're all probably drinking Rush's Koolaid.
