The GOP-tilting Chamber of Commerce is backing Sonia Sotomayor in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee today.

“Her extensive experience both as a commercial litigator and as a trial judge would provide the U.S. Supreme Court with a much needed perspective on the issues that business litigants face,” wrote COC executive vice-president R. Bruce Josten. “Consistent with her Senate testimony, the Chamber expects Judge Sotomayor to engage in fair and evenhanded application of the laws affecting American businesses.”

If you can’t succeed in commerce or at law get elected to public office. If you keep your nose clean – you have a career.
Sotomayor has been interacting with this kind of person (losers, in my opinion) all of her life. Sooooooooooo—
its no wonder she made the comment.
Latinos do have a propensity to walk in curved lines when a straight line would do. They don’t seem to be able to connect the dots in the most economical manner. There may be exceptions. (God I hope there are – maybe Sotomayor is).
Most of the old white men I know, myself included, have no interest in being a Judge as we believe we have lives to lead making a contribution to the advancement of our society. But it is true we need rules.

I am married to a Latina and live in Venezuela.

We already have this. It is known as “the government,” and for most of this country’s history it exclusively promoted the white man’s economic and social advancement and legal protection.

Now we white guys have to share.

You have sessions, who once called a white man sympathetic to civil rights a “traitor to his race” going after a Latina woman with an impeccable judicial record because of something she said in a speech.

The bottom line is no one gives a sh**! The only people seemingly insenced about this are people who have well known histories of bigotry, and that’s not lost on the majority of Americans.
