I will say that I have not read all the comments. I did read a couple that sounded rather racist – the chest thumping of the white male majority, who only wants to deal with minorities in the sense that we should be worshipping at the white man’s feet and show gratitude for all he has done for us.

As a Latina, who has had years of life experience, I will say that not all minorities are alike, much as not all white men are alike. However, the question about Justice Sotomayor is not one of racism. The issue is whether she is qualified to be a Supreme Court Judge.

If she believes, as most of the video and transcript evidence has shown, she is not qualified. Justice must be color-blind, and judges, regardless of what court they are appointed to, should realize that they are there to interpret the law and the constitution, and not to make policy from the bench.

Maybe if by some miracle she is not confirmed, she will learn this the hard way. And from what has been said about her, she has overcome bigger obstacles.

I am just saddened that all Latinos/Hispanics will be colored by the broad brush that some people wish to use.
