The Case against Sonia Sotomayor
May. 28th, 2009 06:44 amSome people can't tell how to pronounce her name just by looking at it.
Although she is a Hispanic woman, her first name is not Maria.
Unlike white males, she has a race and a gender.
She has empathy. (Presumably the ideal judge is a psychopath, though in a pinch we could settle for a person with autism.)
She once said that being Hispanic helps her understand things better, a far more racist statement than any white judge has ever made.
Her picture, like that of Jessica Valenti, inspires unwholesome thoughts in Ann Althouse. (Having been raised Freudian, I am tempted to think that all Ms. Althouse needs is the love of a good woman, but I'm sure it's more complicated than that.)
Meanwhile, from the other side of the field, the people who are pissed off that Obama still hasn't instated the dictatorship of the proletariat are saying that she's really conservative.
