Obama would never have become president if he wasn't an American citizen. Do you really think something that important would slip under the radar? And for those who are American, don't you think that is right for a "minority" to have a high ranking possition? Do all Supreme Court Justices have to be white men in order to follow the law. There are many examples of white male public servants that fail to do so. Tina, do you listen to Rush Bimbo the oxi-cotton head?

PS Since when does Puerto Rico have anything to do with "La Raza"? It's quite a generalization...like the Japanese being Chinese. Or Spaniards being Italians. Based on looks.

The "money quote" from her speech directly says that Latina experience makes one a better legal decision-maker than white experience. She's used that statement often enough, with some slight alterations, that it's nearly become a cliche for her. John, your contention is flatly incorrect.

The greater part of the text discusses the inadequate proportion of Hispanic judges. Oddly enough 3 out 4 legal scholars she cited were Jewish. This suggests a "disproportionate" representation of Jews in the legal profession. Could that be a problem?
