Sotomayor Should Not Apologize For Being an ‘Affirmative Action Baby’
Rueben, Bingo! One of the byproducts of affirmative action is it calls into question the abilities and qualifications of persons in the “favored groups”. Sorry, that is just a fact. It may not seem fair but life is unfair. Now, if everyone had to play by the same rules, that perception would not be a problem. Oh, I also question the abilities and qualification of those who are legacy admissions. Another convention that should be abolished.
Finally, I do not question Judge Sotomayor’s qualifications, her intelligence or her accomplishments. I question whether she can be a fair jurist given her track record, her numerous bigoted statements and her dismissal of a judge’s solemn duty to transcend personal biases. I, as a man of no color, except during the summer, do not feel I would get a fair shake in her court room.
