Hell no.  I'm serious, you guys.  You don't want a Latina on the USSC, "wise" or not.

Not even if she has big boobs?  :huh:

She is a Yankee fan?  Oh hell no.
Best argument against confirmation I have heard so far.

That would be a plus for her!    :mad:

I certainly do not agree that she is "well qualified", but I would vote to confirm her.

She is almost certainly the most qualified female latina left wing liberal judge in the land though. So she gets the job.

I expect her to be an activist judge and to legislate from the bench (despite her vehement denials this week), so I would indeed vote to confirm her.  I prefer to have judges legislating rather than actual legislators, since they seem to be less retarded and aren't beholden to the unwashed masses, due to never having to run for re-election.

I'd rather legislators debate and pass legislation, as is their job. The courts are to interpret the law, as is its job. I'd rather it works that way for the most part. The fact that legislators can be voted in or out for their decisions, though an imperfect system, I like better than someone with a lifetime appointment making rules/laws, and not being so accountable for their decisions, except the rare impeachment of judges.

I've come around to that view as well, sometime in late January.

Need to whiten up before being counted as qualified.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

They just need to use the same formula the courts placed on the Rochester City Police. You create three lists of candidates; a white one, a black one, and a female one. For every three white people hired off the list you must than hire a black and a female off their lists regardless of their qualifications in comparison to the white list.

It works for the public so why not the USSC?

Ricci won his case, so good luck with that.
