Sonia Sotomayor is a Trap!

Politics should not even enter this nomination... wow. That's a funny. That's like saying air should not enter this nomination. It's pretty much impossible.

Likely we won't know exactly what we're getting in Sotomayor. We likewise don't know if Republicans are going to continue the process of making an ass of themselves. Given the ambiguity of her position, I think it should make for an interesting few weeks.

"If this had been a female Republican with this nomination and she made a anti male & anti white statement like Sotomayor did she would have been crucified by now.... " **** What anti-male and anti-white statement did she make?

It always cracks me up to read right wingers bitching about well healed Democratic Party contributors. Sooooooooooooooo funny.

Loved that!!!!

Too True Brian LOL!

@Sandy, the President already has 2/3 of the Latin vote, with more on the way! http://www.sodahead.com/question/244874/gallup-poll-shows-twenty-nine-democratic-states-with-only-five-republican-states-what-do-you-think/

Most important are Sonia's Top of the Class intelligence, status & achievements; Yale Suma Cum Laude, Law Review Editor, Prosecutor, Lawyer, judge & appellate judicial successes, giving her more experience than any current Supreme Court Justice had prior to appointment.

Sonia was appointed to the bench by Bush '41 and twice confirmed by 75 Senators including 5 Rep Senators who still preside.

Senate Confirmation is assured as Sonia delivers the diversity required in our representative Democracy and as already supported by the 57 Dems, 2 Indys, plus many Reps including the remaining 2 NE Senators Snowe & Collins.

Thanks for that fact. You should email and post that to all the blogs, cable news shows and newspapers you possibly can.

Cardozo’s ancestors came from Portugal, making him Hispanic.

LYING LIBERALS DO YOUR RESEARCH...HERE'S YOUR SHOVEL..

NO the left loon's not correct. Don’t tell the students at Yeshiva University in New York that Sonia Sotomayor would be the nation’s first Hispanic on the Supreme Court. That’s because they know its not true. Especially the young adults who attend the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law.

That’s because the Benjamin Cardozo School of Law is named to honor the nation’s first Hispanic U.S. Supreme Court Justice! Cardozo’s ancestors came from Portugal, making him Hispanic.



Justice Ben Cardozo is not first Hispanic?
So why is this lie spread so easily by the media all around the nation?

Well, you have their obvious desire to help the nation’s first Socialist President to achieve something great. Then you have the people who will say Cardozo was not Hispanic, something that is completely untrue. That’s because there is a mixed bag of opinion, even within federal government agencies, about if those from Portugal fall under the American term, “Hispanic.” However,…

The term ‘Hispanic’ is derived from the ancient term for the peninsula that both Spain and PORTUGAL reside in: Hispania, which now is called the Iberian Peninsula.

Here are some definitions: Main Entry: His·pan·ic
Pronunciation: hi-’spa-nik
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin Hispanicus, from Hispania Iberian Peninsula, Spain. Date: circa 1889
Hispanic: of, relating to, or being a person of Latin American descent living in the U.S.; especially : one of Cuban, Mexican, or Puerto Rican origin (Merriam-Webster´s Collegiate dictionary)
Hispanic: (connected with) a person who lives in the United States but who originally came from, or whose family came from, S America, Mexico, Cuba or Puerto Rico ( Cambridge International Dictionary of English )
Hispanic: connected with a person who lives in the US but who originally came from or whose family came from Spanish-speaking Latin America A Hispanic-American is an American citizen of Hispanic origin. ( Cambridge Dictionary of American English )
Hispanic: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts) Hispanic, as used in the United States, is one of several terms used to categorize US citizens, permanent residents and temporary immigrants, whose background hail either from Spain or the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America. The term is used as a form of classification for the immigrants and descendants of a wide range of ethnicities, races and nationalities who use Spanish as their primary language. http://explanation-guide.info/meaning/Hispanic.html
From Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) two definitions found: Hispanic \His*pan”ic\, a. [L. Hispanicus.] Of or pertaining to Spain or its language; as, Hispanic words.
From WordNet (r) 1.6 : Hispanic adj : related to or derived from the people or culture of Spain;” the Hispanic population of California is growing rapidly” [syn: Hispanic, Latino]

Cardozo certainly was the first Hispanic to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. We can learn more about Cardozo from Yeshiva University online:

Sonia Sotomayor is the second person to come from an Iberian culture to be elected to the highest court. But she is the first person from a Spanish culture elected to the highest court. I think that it is clear that Sonia Sotomayor is the first "Hispanic" to be elected. WADE is trying to create controversey that does not exist.
