I’d also note that Yale Law School doesn’t really have “grades.” My understanding is that in your first year it’s pass/fail and thereafter its honors/pass/fail.

And I’m pretty sure that the editor of the Yale Law Review wasn’t middling by with pass “grades.”

If that wingnut doesn’t think that Sotomayor is qualified, he ought to check out the resume of one Clarence Thomas, a sitting Justice on the SCOTUS.

Byrd is at least out of the hospital.

Aargh! This belongs upstairs!

Just to survive a staph infection seems amazing at age 92. But I do hope Virginia dems are quietly putting together a strong progressive replacement for him. It may be sooner than the Senator thought.

So affirmative action helped her get into Princeton. Ummm . . . shouldn’t the fact that, given that chance, she graduated summa cum laude and went on to become the editor of the Harvard Law Review pretty much prove the value of affirmative action?

oh, you know, just like down is up and back is forward, to wingnuts “a sense of entitlement” means uppity n—–rs, women, and other assorted minorities who claim they have a right to be treated as if they were white men.
Perhaps it comes from welfare, among other programs, being classified as an “entitlement,” meaning if you qualify under the rules, you are “entitled” to receive the benefit. AFter all, all minorities of any sort are all on welfare, doncha know?

So, this is the person that a President of the United States has proffered to take a seat on the nation’s highest court. A racist with low grades and a sense of entitlement that has been reversed or scolded in five out of the six cases of hers that have appeared before past Supreme Court sessions.

I will leave the claim of being “scolded” by the Supremes to others to disprove. But “racist” and “sense of entitlement” is extremist (and racist) nonsense from Outer Wingnuttia. Of course, this charge is being transmitted by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy to destroy Sonia S. as a person, rather than just defeat her nomination. KKKarl and drug addled windbag Rush Limbaugh have pushed this falsehood. KKKarl and Rush are experts in racism, being two of America’s greatest racists. But how would Sonia have a sense of entitlement? She was not a trust fund baby. She had to work her way through the legal system, controlled by white, wealthy, and privileged men.

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.

This statement has the Wingnuts shocked and outraged and angry at the Racism. They do hate Racism so much that they use it in every election. But the Supreme Court, does not have a tradition of diversity and racial justice. Recall Dred Scott, Separate But Equal, and other “racist” court decisions. But we hope that Justices can be chosen who reject this long ugly tradition. Wingnuts, keep throwing your racist charges at Sotomayor and you will pay for it at election time.
