She should pull out now before she really shows her true colors. This women has proven she is not a protector of the law, she wants to make the law in her own and Obamas image.

Why do "people of color" only think diversity is about color?

Most of the time it is. As long as experience is considered as an older white male in charge, we still have a long way to go.

They don't, so the real question is why do you think they do? Is it because people not of color still remain predominatly in power in almost all levels of society?
Referring to others as "persons of color" is weird when one thinks about it, because white people, to paraphrase a comedian I once heard, turn red when embarrassed, blue when cold, orange when they stay in the sun too long, and gray when they're dead...so how is it that blacks, asians, and others are "people of color"?
Nice strawman BTW, get yourself a Tin Man, a Lion and a Dog, and you can put on your own version of the movie and call it the Wizard of Odds...or GOP Caucus, as the rest of us call it.

And we all know that Olberman, Couric and Williams are not biased, right? Oops, I mean Left, or is that Middle? Well let's see, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, hmmm, someone is missing, oh yes ABC. So there it is, a smorgasboard of Liberal media. Wow, we can count on them to tell us the truth about Sotomayor, right? WRONG answer weed hopper!!! Go fly your anti-Fox News flag up another pole, that dog don't hunt.

I think the word racist is overused and has become meaningless. Sotomayor is a BIGOT.

Now under normal circumstances I would have to agree with Kim Pearson. This is not a run of the mill apointment. This is a life time job to the Nations highest court. In light of this ,a person who takes this job must be above reproach. With that as a given; I must respectfuly say that this sotomayor has a tint of racism in her, and as such should not be elevated to this god like post of Justice. Thank You.

By every account of her peers, liberal and conservative, she is above reproach, something even shown in her prior rulings. The only hint of racism related to her, appears to that of those desperately trying to pin her as a racist. Maybe she's been hiding it from everyone for over 30 years as part of her masterplan to have President Obama nominate her to the Supreme Court, after first being brought to a high Federal Court by a Republican.
Yeah...makes perfect no sense.
I'm going to start a new rumor. She's an alien...no, not like a person who has come from another nation...she comes from Neptune, and her plan is to invade Uranus...no, really.
It makes about as much sense as the other claims about her.

Is Sonia Sotomayor Racist?
why yes she is JUST LIKE OBAMA AND HIS NASTY ASS WIFE!
WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD TAKE HER KIDS TO WHAT IS THE EQUIVALENCE OF KKK RALLIES/MEETINGS AND HAVE THE GRAND WIZARD HIMSELF REV. KKK WRIGHT BAPTIZE THEM??????????? YOU CAN'T TELL ME OBAMA AND MICHELLE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, THAT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM FOR THEM WHEN CONFRONTED WITH CONTROVERSY...THEY MUST HAVE AGREED W/THAT KIND OF THINKING OBAMA'S MENTOR MARRIED THEM.

Maybe more Americans should try being a minority for once, and have their fate placed before a white male or a white female in the judicial system, and understand the complexity of the legal system that is in place in America!...this obviously is a situation only minority's can relate regarding her feelings and experience!......try once to act as though America isn't a race conscious society! People like that white talk show host, are the ones that remind us of the issues, in America, how come so many people have some much too say and they aren't even running for president!

amazing or maybe just pathatic. and i am not just refering to these poll results, i am thinking about what the GOP HAS BECOME.
YOU WANT TO JUDGE A WOMAN SMARTER THAN 99.99 OF US BECAUSE OF ONE COMMENT?
I don't know how anyone can judge her yet without learning more about her.
KEEP IT UP KIDS,
Obama may just be the beginning if you piss off the rest of the women and hispanics that happened to vote for McCain.
GOP: 28% of AMERICA AND SHRINKING...... GOP=KKK? ANGRY, UNEDUCATED, OLD, WHITE, FEARFUL, MALE BIGOTS?

She a RACIST and a dumbass: She's A SELF-PROFESSED ADVOCATE of La Raza APPROVES of the REFORMATION of the United States, the creation of a separate Chicano country, and widespread ethnic cleansing. RACIST? Even members of the Hispanic community AGREE.
She also doesn't believe that the Second Amendment right to bear arms applies to individuals.

If some of you who voted would actually take the time to research matters of importance prior to voicing your ignorant opinions from your double-wide trailers, then perhaps you would arrive at something that does not resemble a regurgitation of what you saw and heard from another ignorant fool on the late night news. It is a shame that it is the year 2009 and we in this industrialized nation are still having to encourage and push individuals to open up their minds and eyes!!!

Racist...Shouldn't the question be, Is Sonia Sotomayor qualified to sit on the Supreme Court? If people would do due dilligence and read her words in the proper context, they would certainly know otherwise. Look at her record as a Judge, look at qualifications and then make an educated/intelligent decision. From where I sit, she's an outstanding professional who has certainly earned her seat on this court. She would bring experience, intelligence, fairness and a balance to this court.

"God Like Post", you can't be serious. This is not the Vatican of some religious occupation. It is a life long position occupied by human beings. Not angels or some etherial being. Humans are imperfect, and are capable of making informed decisions. Sometimes we even make mistakes. Someone as intelligent, qualified and compassionate, as Sonia Sotomayor is what we need sitting on the bench of this high court. Do your due dilligence and read. Read about the Supreme Court, it's not Church or "God like" and don't comment when you don't have your facts straight.
