It is incredulous that the party that preaches to people on how racist our American society is, is itself the leading proponent of people and nominees that see things, not as Dr. King dreamed - in a "color blind" way, but rather the opposite, every thing and every person is judged, not on their merit or the "content of their character," but on how the treat people based on their race.
First of all, President Obama and his team would only interview female prospects to the Supreme Court. They had made their mind up on what the next justice would look like even before they started the process. Secondly, amazingly enough once they came across Justice Sotomayor, they made their choice. Who knows, maybe the taped comments by the judge that “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” sold them that this lady really could represent a different group of people.
It really is sad that the Dems are so narrow minded and ignorent when it comes to matters of race. Not realizing that they are perpetuating the very ideals that espouse to hate.
Justice may be blind, but Judge Sotomayor certainly is not.
