Nominating a Racist

Is it now okay for a racist to be nominated to the United States Supreme Court? In a 2001 speech to the Berkeley school of law, the Obama nominee said, "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."

Meanwhile, the media credits Obama with a brilliant political move, which of course, it is. Obama is undoubtably an astute political strategist, as are his advisors. Some Republicans are afraid to oppose the racist Sotomayor for fear of further alienating Hispanic voters. So Obama smiles ear to ear, realizing that he has once again pulled off a brilliant political manuever. Unfortunately, what we need is a President of the United States who will do the right thing for our country; not a superb political strategist who knows how to defeat the other party, but has no qualms about appointing an out-and-out racist to the United States Supreme Court.

I should be beyond shock with the left and this administration but apparently they still have the ability to shock me. I say throw her nomination out. They hated Harriet Myers and no one ever really explained why and what about Miguel Estrada who had a truly unique feel good American by the boots strap story????
