Obama’s activist Supreme Court nominee

President Oprompter has settled on his Supreme Court nominee to replace Bush the Elder’s mistake (David Souter).  So what do we know about Sonia Sotomayor?

Well, for starters, we know that she thinks it is the role of the appeals courts to make policy:

Um, all of the legal defense funds out there, um, they’re looking for people out there with court of appeals experience, because court of appeals is where policy is made. And I know, I know this is on tape and I should never say that because we don’t make law, I know. Um, um — [laughter] — I know. I’m not promoting it, I’m not advocating it, and, I’m … you know. [laughter]

We also know that she is a racist and a sexist:

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” — Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in her Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California (Berkeley) School of Law in 2001

So by virtue of her being a Latina, her legal reasoning and grounding in constitutional law is stronger than that of a black man, or a white woman, or anyone else?  Anyone care to guess what the reaction from the left and the MSM (pardon the redundancy) would have been if a white dude had made an identical statement that lauded the advantages that while maledom would bring to the court?

We know that Uhhh-bama told us during the election that SCOTUS justices don’t need to know the Constitution, so long as they possess a trait more important than that: empathy.  Do you people now see why I refer to liberalism as a “feeling, not thinking” ideology?  Any man who thinks that a SCOTUS justice who “empathizes” better than she understands the Constitution that she’s been given lifetime tenure to interpret is clearly devoid of any thinking skills.  Therefore, it should come as no surprise that he picks a nominee who is equally dismissive of prerequisites of constitutional knowledge.

One other thing we know: the American Idol that the lost sheeple elected last year will see his nominee approved, regardless of what kind of ideologue she is.
