The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

The middle Liddy comment is most certainly inappropriate. He should be criticized.

The first is, of course, pointing out her affiliation with a group that is questionable at best.

The last I agree with 100%. It isn't a representative body.

Should Sotomayor NOT be criticized for her racist comments? I think they are. They would be considered to be so if a white man said it about a hispanic woman. I also think she should be criticized for her comments about the circuit court "making policy". Courts should not "make policy".

And I'm not a frightened bigot because I don't like her as a choice. I don't like what I've read and hear about her.

I find it interesting that her "life story" is so huge. I can think of another minority member of the court that has a more compelling life story than hers, yet as a conservative, that wasn't the focus of the coverage.
