So, is she a race queen, or what?< http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/SCOTUS/story?id=7685284&page=1 > QUOTE The accusations are aimed at comments Sotomayor made during a 2001 lecture at the University of California-Berkeley. Referring to former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's saying that "a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases," Sotomayor said, "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."
On Wednesday afternoon, Gingrich wrote on Twitter: "Imagine a judicial nominee said 'my experience as a white man makes me better than a Latina woman' new racism is no better than old racism." "White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw," Gingrich wrote. Posted by TheCatt on May 27 2009,17:25

QUOTE "White man racist nominee would be forced to withdraw. Latina woman racist should also withdraw," Gingrich wrote. That's a really good quote. Posted by Malcolm on May 28 2009,11:40
Oh, for the day when we're all just brains in jars, then we can elect people based on ability alone ...Till we start fighting over who has the better jars. Posted by Malcolm on May 28 2009,12:29
(TheCatt @ May 28 2009,14:24) QUOTE It sounds like the words of someone who can't read. Honestly, I wonder if he's illiterate. And did you notice he had to get a co-writer? Kayne thread? Posted by Troy on May 28 2009,12:35
Clearly he is accusing an appeals court judge of being both a transvestite, and an illiterate.

I moved my msg, but left the others so they'd not make sense any more.
