Sayonara, Sotomayor
Wow. Who’s the ultimate personification of the 1980s – Sonia, above, or this guy? Too close to call.
Sonia Sotomayor, aka the “perfect affirmative action baby“, is a gross simpleton.
A judgment (of mine) confirmed by the Supreme Court today in their decision on Ricci v DeStefano.
In that case, 20 firefighters (19 white and one Hispanic) filed suit against the city of New Haven, CT, after they were denied promotions because no African-American scored highly enough in the tests. In the absence of a single African-American among those who’d earned promotion through their test scores, the city of New Haven wisely decided to deny promotions to everyone.
Quite understandably, those 20 firefighters were miffed and sued for discrimination.
Sotomayor said nuh-uh. But now the Supreme Court has said uh-huh.
Oh dear, Sonia. Embarrassment should cause her to spontaneously self-combust, but if that photo didn’t, then I’m guessing that this won’t, either.
I hope that the Republicans make her choke on this. Don’t say hello. Don’t say how are you. Don’t say anything to her unless it includes the words Ricci vs DeStefano.

Good guess. Modern Liberalism has a zombie-like ability to bounce back.

Wonderful, wonderful news. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. I will be watching for this little “tidbit” on MSM!

Sue, welcome and thank you!
Take a peek at the “Please Stop Talking Now” post (under Nancy Pelosi), you might enjoy it…

It’s nice the see the Surpeme Court pull its collective head out of it’s collective Fourth Point of Contact (it’s an Army term, sorry)and get something right. Hell, this makes at least, what, four rulings against Super Sonia from the Court she wants to join? She’s got at least a 50% FAIL rate, so the body she wants to be part of thinks she’s fulla crap at least half the time, so that REALLY should tell everyone that she’s NOT a good choice to be a part of a group that slaps her down that often.

Mojo,
It’s more like 60% (she whiffed 3 for 5) but, a respondent in the Hot Air article makes the (valid) point that “She’s made hundreds of rulings that were never even appealed. What we don’t know is how that compares to other SCOTUS nominees.” (ht to TheUnrepentantGreek)
..not sure if that’s good or bad.
