Madame Justice Wise Latina

Well that was enlightening. The thought provoking questions, the stirring debate, the high level of oratory, the truly passionate discussion of the issues and the and the the ..... I can't go on.

This past week's Sotomayor hearings were dreadful. Nothing new was learned and I believe some reputations were tarnished. Judge Sotomayor bested this petty and dreadful bunch of intellectual gnats (that's the Democrats) the Republicans were slaughtered by their own hubris, lack of understanding and dare I say racist and sexist attitude. All the Republicans asked the same 3 questions over and over and over again.

Yes you honky bastards she is a wise Latina and she is proud of it, as well she should be, so get over it, move on, have dinner at your house on C street, order up your favorite call boy, kiss your wife, kiss your husband, have a joke throw down with Sen. Franken, attend the opera, watch the new Harry Potter movie, read a book, do something, just let it go.

I wonder if anyone on their staffs had the guts to tell them that they made fools of themselves. I wonder if a staffer told Sen Sessions that by pointing out another judge who holds different views is also a Puerto Rican made him sound like "you all look alike so why don't you all vote alike"? I wonder if a staffer pointed out to Sen. Coburn that Ricky Ricardo was Cuban and not a Puerto Rican? (do you think he knows the difference?) I wonder if a staffer was able to tell any of these snarky, smirking, small minded chumps that using a fake Spanish accent was a not a good idea. Do you think a staffer said to Sen. Specter "No one really cares about cameras in the court, you have a tough re-election coming up and this is how you spend your 10 minutes?"

I think Sens. Graham, Sessions, Grassley and Hatch may have at least read the polls and read some commentary on the weeks events and softened. Today I think they realized the next time they meet Judge Sotomayor they will be required to address her as Madame Justice Sotomayor.

She proved this week that she is indeed a wise Latina, she made these great guardians of our republic look like they should have never risen above the town councils were they got their start. Because none of them are really ready for prime time even though there are in it and we are stuck paying their salaries.
