Trash Commisioner Obama

OBAMA PICKS LATINA CON MUY GRAVITAS CHA CHA CHA

Indulge me here.  Every time our clown president says, or does, almost anything, I'm reminded of Homer Simpson being elected Sanitation Commissioner (Trash of the Titans), with the campaign slogan "Can't someone else do it?"   It ends with Springfield becoming so toxic that the entire town must be relocated. The farce that is Obama's presidency, however,  isn't over after 22 minutes. “ WASHINGTON — In 2001, Sonia Sotomayor, an appeals court judge, gave a speech declaring that the ethnicity and sex of a judge “may and will make a difference in our judging.” In her speech, Judge Sotomayor questioned the famous notion — often invoked by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her retired Supreme Court colleague, Sandra Day O’Connor — that a wise old man and a wise old woman would reach the same conclusion when deciding cases. “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,” said Judge Sotomayor, who is now considered to be near the top of President Obama’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees. Simpson-Patterson Debate Her remarks, at the annual Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California, Berkeley, were not the only instance in which she has publicly described her view of judging in terms that could provoke sharp questioning in a confirmation hearing. This month, for example, a video surfaced of Judge Sotomayor asserting in 2005 that a “court of appeals is where policy is made.” She then immediately adds: “And I know — I know this is on tape, and I should never say that because we don’t make law. I know. O.K. I know. I’m not promoting it. I’m not advocating it. I’m — you know.” NYTIMES, CHA CHA CHA ”
