Democrats, Why Did Obama Nominated Sotomayor, A Hispanic Lady But Not An Asian Or Indian Judge?
May 31st, 2009I wont say white because that is not “change”, I thought your party stands for equality, am I correct? Then why did Obama pick Miss Sotomayor? Has he considered Asian or Indian judge? Or did he picked Sotomayor to appeal to the Hispanic votes?
She was the FIRST Hispanic judge. Plus, he said she is the most qualified person for the job–more than any of the other justices when they were nominated for the job.
He could only pick one nominee.
He also picked a woman because there are more men on the court. So he took out 2 birds with one stone.
Blacks and Hispanics have it harder than Asians since we endure the most violent attacks, racism, sexism, profiling, etc.
Asians are treated well, whites fill their movies, they fill white people’s movies, whites respect them as “smart,” etc.
Blacks and Hispanics are only treated with respect because we FOUGHT for it for more than 100 years.
Indians face a lot as well (Indian women bleaching their skin to look white–with help from the ads produced by the “Fair and Lovely” company) but I’m sure their time will come.
And listen RePUBlican, don’t lecture about race to us. Your party is 90% white and only 26% of Americans now admit to being Republican.
Your party’s house of cards is tumbling down on a tidal wave of racism (attack minority issues & people, reject & disrespect most of the other races, etc.), sexism (throwing 2 female protesters in a cold jail cell naked for TRESPASSING & charges were dismissed), torture (trying to force innocent people to connect Al Qaeda and Iraq), scandals (refusing to fund soldiers’ body armor so that Hillary Clinton & kids had to go around Bush administration & give it to them, ignoring information that suicide bombers were going to use planes to hit the towers, forging documents to get us to invade Iraq, and more).
Obama came in at the right time and he nominated the right justice. It is obvious.
“Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time: the need for man to overcome oppression and
violence without resorting to oppression and violence. Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge,
aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr., Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Stockholm, Sweden, December 11, 1964.
“Man was born into barbarism when killing his fellow man was a normal condition of existence. He became endowed with a
conscience. And he has now reached the day when violence toward another human being must become as abhorrent as eating
another’s flesh.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr., Why We Can’t Wait, 1963.
“Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man’s sense of values
and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false
and the false with the true.”
–Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
–Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963
“Ten thousand fools proclaim themselves into obscurity, while one wise man forgets himself into immortality.”
–Martin Luther King Jr.
Your party is WAY too violent, war-hungry and self-centered. I vote them off the island. You have turned your backs on America with talk of secession…so America has turned their backs on YOU.
Fringe radical groups are destructive and manipulative. That’s why all the moderates are leaving your party. They’ve seen your party in the light, and all the viruses, bugs and crabs in your kitchen has disgusted them.
Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to fail and America to fail as well?
It’s time to shut this horrendous business down before it explodes and tries to take America with it.
You know I like to believe that he picked her because she has so much experience in the field of law and will be able to make informed decisions. But the sad fact is that there is an air of change for change’s sake that sometimes hovers around the Obama administration. But, if she is experienced and will make unbiased decisions then I don’t care what race she is, as long as she’s good. That’s how it should be. You have to admit though, an Hispanic woman would most likely have more experience with the plight of the minorities of America, and there have been far too many well-off, old white men elected for that position.
he picked the most qualified candidate
in fact
she has better qualifications than ANYONE ON THE SUPREME COURT did when THEY were nominated.
see if you can twist THAT!
We need more women & minorities on the court.
The Supreme Court should reflect America.
The Building itself says “Equal Justice Under Law”
When Roe V Wade was decided, there were 9 Supreme Court justices and not ONE of them had a uterus.
Not ONE had ever faced the prospect of an unwanted pregnancy
Not ONE had ever feared telling their parents they were pregnant and unmarried.
THAT IS A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE!
Fortunately, the correct decision was made, but it is a MIRACLE that it was
There should be 5 women & 4 men.
There should be 3 white, 3 Hispanic, 2 black & 1 either Asian or Native American.
It isn’t a matter of those demographics being better able to better understand the law.
It is about those demographic POINTS OF VIEW being represented in the court that provides equal justice for all.

I been waiting for a republican to knock his decision. The guy can’t
win. You people are like a bunch of buzzards wanting him to fail.
You are so un-american! By the way, he pick her because of her
experience and background! No matter who he pick, you wouldn’t
like.
Despite all the speculation and flirting with the idea of candidates with unorthodox r?sum?s, Supreme Court nominees are almost invariably plucked from the pool of federal appellate judges. And there are no Asian or Native American federal appellate judges.
Maybe he flipped a coin.
He has explained his reasons for picking her. Of course, you can believe that he’s lying and has a hidden agenda, butthat’s your issue, not mine.
If he’s nominating a Hispanic person then it is “change” by your definition because there are no hispanic judges on the bench there.
He picked a qualified person….
Hey Hey!! did everybody see how the pinhead capitalized RAT in ‘DemocRAT’ … is that really clever, or what? Is this guy like maybe a professional comedian?
If you want serious answers, you should probably refrain from childish name calling.
Maybe he picked her because he thought she would be the best person for the position?
Obama already appeals to Hispanic voters. Perhaps you should review Judge Sotomayor’s excellent credentials.
Wanna know a little secret? If he had nominated an Indian, Black, Asian or gremlin, you would be asking this same moronic question, so please….Just go away…okay? My head hurts when you get stupid like this.
Interesting question. Not.
I thought conservatives were mad at liberals for playing the race card? Playing it right back at us, eh? Oh, and your name is an oxymoron, just FYI.
Would you be throwing such a fit if he had picked a white judge? Would race even be an issue? Is THAT not racism?
I didn’t realize he could nominate more than one person at the same time, thanks for clearing that up.
idiotic trolls like you are one reason America is fleeing the conservative cause.
he could only pick one
all eight of his final choices were Women
the key is he picked
we won.
Hispanic and illegal immigrations. He wants the Hight Court to open that door.
