I love how people seem to think that "horrid choice" is the same as "unqualified."
I'm perfectly qualified for a lot of jobs, but I guarantee you I would be a pretty damn bad choice in at least a few of them.
I hate agreeing with Chump, but I have to here. I'm sure we can find several who are better qualified, but President Obama would have never selected any of them.Again, who do you think was better qualified, Jacob?
It's hard to tell what we will get from a Supreme court nominee. O'Connor for example was a conservative pick, but headed left after being confirmed. At least we know she has been vocal of her beliefs and where they lie. I am more concerned about other areas of law, and think we could have received far worse if President Obama selected someone else. It seems she has been a very fair judge in all areas except affirmative action.
Personally, I don't want to see her there. However, I don't want to see any there nominated by a Fascist president. I would call her the lesser of evils.

I agree Sarah Palin was an affirmative action choice.
If Diane Wood had been nominated, I bet conservative groups would have gone insane. Sotomayor was about as moderate as it gets for this administration.
You guys crack me up. You honestly thought I was serious when I said Sarah Palin? I mentioned her name just to see how your would react. Actually, I did not lose the election back in November. My name was not on the ballot. John McCain and Sarah Palin lost the election, not me. John McCain was a dumbass for picking Sarah Palin as his VP. He would have had a chance with Romney. Sotomayor should be thanking whitey because without whitey, she wouldn't be on the Supreme Court right now. Whitey got Obama elected and Obama picked her to be on the Supreme Court.
Actually, Obama lost the whitey vote by quite a substantial margin. Sotomayor should be thanking Asians, Hispanics, Blacks and Jews.
Alito and Roberts should thank whitey.
And we didn't think you were being serious about Palin. We just thought you were being stupid.
So non-whites are categorically unqualified to hold positions of leadership and obtain those positions ONLY by the grace of whites?
Finally, someone that agrees with me. White Power!
I never said anything about non-whites not being qualified or whites being qualified more than non-whites. If Sotomayor is qualified to be on the Supreme Court, then it should be the main focus, not her race. If the news had done a better handling of the story then I wouldn't have said it was a win for affirmative action. There was so much of a focus on her race that it took away from all of her experience and qualifications.
Remove Obama's from your mouth for one minute. Use your brain. You know that Obama wouldn't have won the election if he had not gotten so many votes from white people. Obama won because he got so many votes from whitey. White people voted for Obama because they were either in awe of his greatness, wanted to make history, or because of white guilt.
Considering America is roughly 70% white, no president in the history of the United States of America would have gotten elected without a majority of votes from white people, you ing dumb sucker.
Are you seriously going to tell me that? The white vote was more important to Obama than any other presidential candidate in American history because Obama is half-black. Every other president in American history never had to worry about the white vote the way Obama did. And there were a good number of people that voted for McCain because Obama is half-baclk. Also, a lot of people voted for Obama because they wanted to make history. Anyways, back Sotomayor. Why didn't the media mention her background, achievements, awards, experience, etc...? The media and Obama put a huge emphasis and importance on her race. If Sotomayor was the right person for the choice, then why didn't anyone back it up with her record, awards, achievements, experience, references?
Yes, I am seriously going to tell you that Obama lost the white vote by a substantial margin.They did -- you were too busy being white to notice.Anyways, back Sotomayor. Why didn't the media mention her background, achievements, awards, experience, etc...?So you have been too busy being white to find out what her qualifications are compared to the other candidates you know to be better qualified and still have failed to name after being asked point blank several times.If Sotomayor was the right person for the choice, then why didn't anyone back it up with her record, awards, achievements, experience, references?
They did. What's funny about this is that the people who were most focused on her non-judicial background were those who most fiercely opposed her nomination and spent the duration of the confirmation hearings harping on issues of race, gender, and ethnicity -- probably because attacking her qualifications would have been a complete waste of time.
All the times that I watched MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News, they never once talked about her background, record, experience, awards, achievements. It always "first Latino" or "first Hispanic" on the Supreme Court. I haven't listed any choices because it's not my job to pick judges for the Supreme Court.
By the way, I notice your racist accusations and assumptions. If a white person particularly a white guy says anything negative about a minority, they are a racist right? Yes or no?
All the times I watched them spend more than thirty seconds discussing her, her qualifications and experience came up. You weren't paying attention. If you had, you would have known that she had the most experience as a judge of any candidate for quite some time.That's also the reason you have no idea what Sotomayor's qualifications were. That and you are an incurious dolt who can't even look up a CV.I haven't listed any choices because it's not my job to pick judges for the Supreme Court.
By the way, I have noticed the great majority of your posts consist of your whining about one minority or another. Do you think of anything else?By the way, I notice your racist accusations and assumptions. If a white person particularly a white guy says anything negative about a minority, they are a racist right? Yes or no?
If so, prove it.
White people are so tired of politics that they seldom give a to the presidential election, roughly reckoned, about half of the white Americans refused to register as voters despite being qualified, then you have already lost 35% votes to the sea. The rest contest would be 30% vs. 35%, and the fact is some white people gave their votes to Obama while most of the black, I mean most, didn't give a consideration to the guy ran against their black brother Barack. The white people have long been taking their superb rights for granted, so it seems like a small deal to them whether the president is white or black, at this point I think it was the arrogancy and ignorance of white people that lost the battle to the black community which was die-hard insistent and decisive.
However, the major reason why Obama overwhelmed the republican candidate is (Of course I know the guy's name is John McCain but I also know no one gives as much attention to him as to Obama. The democrats were almost guaranteed to win the presidential campaign, thanks to the previous 8 dark years cooked up by Mr. GWB.) the general hatred upon the republicans. From the beginning to the end of the campaign, no one had ever doubted Obama would win it by a pretty wide gap over the 2nd place. I think if you have something against the minor races, you should date back to the primary election to dig out the lesions from the interior democrats party.
I've made no racist accusations or assumptions. I have no idea about the race or ethnicity of anyone who posts here.
I'll note, however, that I'm not the one claiming that affirmative action is a major reason that Justice Sotomayor has been confirmed to the Supreme Court and I'm not the one disputing her qualifications.
Frankly, I think arguments like those that you're making are intellectually bankrupt and unprincipled, not racist. Sorry to obliterate your strawman.
I just think it's funny how people are labeled racists or bigots if they believe affirmative action is wrong or if they believe it's reverse discrimination. Honestly, I could care less if Sotomayor is on the Supreme Court. It doesn't affect my life at all. It's hilarious how people let politics rule their lives or let politics put their panties in a wad. It's also funny to see all the Obama supporters, lovers, and worshippers get so defensive over the guy. The main reason why I don't like affirmative action is because I want a piece of the pie. I would have loved to get a scholarship based on my skin color. That would have been awesome. My student loans would probably be a lot cheaper than they are if I had been able to get a "white person" scholarship. Sadly, those do not exist. If that makes me a cry baby or whiner, then I'm guilty. Last time I checked, "white people" scholarships do not exist. If they did, then that would be racist. However, it's okay to have "black people" or "Latino/Hispanic people" scholarships. Have fun with my post.
At least you're honest. But I do disagree with the notion that Sotomayor being in the Supreme Court doesn't affect you at all. It might not in the long run, but odds are she's going to tackle a case or two that will touch us all.I just think it's funny how people are labeled racists or bigots if they believe affirmative action is wrong or if they believe it's reverse discrimination.

That's exactly why there was such a big hoopla about all this...
That's why you keep posting about it.Honestly, I could care less if Sotomayor is on the Supreme Court. It doesn't affect my life at all.
And I'm sure the Klan has some kind of private scholarship program for whites. Ask your local wizard.

i love the myths about affirmative action. i never met a single minority at texas a&m or even when i was in grad school who told me that they had a free ride or scored below the standard scores on admission tests or even were anything less than in the top 25% of their class.
and despite that both of the flagship universities of texas (a&m and ut) fall below the civil rights act of 65 standards for minority representation.
US should have tightened the border to reduce the amount of immigrants penetrating into our land. Oppositely, however, we give immigrants any kind of aid they need to help them parasitize.I just think it's funny how people are labeled racists or bigots if they believe affirmative action is wrong or if they believe it's reverse discrimination.

The golden age of US was the 1990s, also during which millions of immigrants left their own countries to join the US bandwagon, fighting against US native citizens for the share of jobs, health care...
Consequently, the population exploded not because of baby bloom but the unlimited uncontrollable immigration. You should have got the sense that when you see dumb asses all over the streets, your country is going into troubles.
I don't have anything against immigrants personally, but the truth doesn't need any explication to be clear. The first immigrants to America, for example the Spanish sailors, African Labors and British colonizers, constructed a great country on the continent and made their country eventually the best of the world by the decade of 1990, a time when they should have fixed the immigration policy.
But the trend continues... I don't know any European country you can immigrate to as easily as to immigrate to US. US today just looks like a hotel, immigrants don't care if the hotel is on profit or deficit. Once the hotel gets ed up by them, then they just need to move to another one while leaving the natives a ed up hotel.
When asked if you are willing to sacrifice your life for the security of your country, an immigrant definitely give you then negative answer, though even some natives may also give you the same answer.
That's fine, but there have been actual cases students wanting to attend colleges that were not allowed to. Also, better than the required scores. With limited slots available, to get the proper quota's, students with lower qualifications took their place instead. Just because of skin color. When there are limited slots, they should be allocated by merit.
it was easier when they had their own bathrooms.
remember when they knew their place?
