Sotomayor Passes Ricci Test?
Today, SCOTUS handed down their decision overturning Judge Sotomayor's decision in the case of several white firefighters and one Hispanic firefighter being denied promotions because they passed a test that black firefighters didn’t (Ricci v DeStefano).
If Obama gets his way, and he likely will, Judge Sotomayor could be ruling on cases like this. She would certainly have voted to uphold her own decision. However, so did Justice Souter, the guy she will be replacing. Realistically, Republicans probably can't stop the confirmation of Sotomayor. I'm not sure they want to. Obama is going to appoint someone. Sotomayor is a left wing loon who will likely try to legislate from the bench but this will likely be true of anyone Obama selects. Sotomayor seems to be weak in the exact areas Obama wanted someone strong. I don't think she will influence anyone or sway anyone to her side. She is not a charismatic orator and she doesn't have a powerful personality. She will vote her left wing agenda but she won't be influencing any of the 5 Justices who voted to overturn her racist decision
The Republicans should use this as an opportunity to point out the hypocrisy of the left and to distinguish themselves as conservatives.(Does anyone think the left would be ok with a member of the KKK being a Justice? Oh wait, they already have a KKK Senator.) They should be talking about the nomination of someone affiliated with La Raza. They should be elaborating on La Raza's agenda to undermine American culture. This could be an opportunity to discuss what stances a wise Latina woman would take on closing the border with Mexico. The Republicans probably can't stop her confirmation, but they can point out what Obama and Sotomayor have planned for America.
