Sotomayor. if you know the name, you either love her, or you're like me, and you hate this ****.
Seriously, Im basing my hatred for her on two very real and very stupid things that have come from her.
#1 - She throws out the results of a promotional test for Firefighters because not enough minorities did well. (So says Yahoo, I havent found any other news articles that expound on that fact, they mostly say this same thing, and sum it up that concisely. It sounds stupid this way, so if anyone knows anything more about it, let me know, id like to know the circumstances surrounding this whole mess.)
#2 - She was quoted on CNN as saying "I have a better view on life and high court ruilngs than a white man would, because i'm a wise old mexican woman." Or soemthing like that. Rubbish.

If you're gonna hate on someone Ace. At least get your facts straight.
#1 - No, she didn't. The City of New Haven did that. The White Firefighters sued, the court decided in favor of New Haven. The White Firefighters appealed the decision. Sotomayor was on a 3 judge panel, that UNANIMOUSLY decided that the lower court's ruling was correct. Seriously, she didn't do that all by herself, the majority of all judges who saw the case ruled the same way. It was overturned by the Supreme Court, and even then it was only by a 5-4 margin. (and really, what do questions like "which one of these words are spelled correctly?" have to do with one's ability to be a firefighter?)
#2 - She said "I would hope a wise latina with the wealth of her expirences, would reach, in some cases, a better conclusion than a white man that didn't have these expirences"
She's admitting to something that most people are afriad to admit in this. She admitted to human biases, but in her 18 years on the bench (which is a bigger resume then any justice currently on the bench), no one can show a pattern of those biases effecting her rulings. Also: YES, human beings are influenced by their expirences. YES, Even judges.

There is one solid reason why Sotomayor should be liked.
The Colbert Report makes fun of her.
