The Judge Formerly Known as Sotormayor

With apologies to the artist formerly known as Prince, who is now known as Prince and not formerly known as Prince.

Judge Sotormayor stayed with her script while answering questions yesterday at her Kangaroo confirmation hearing.

From Politico:Also Tuesday, after hearing two months of pointed attacks over her so-called “wise Latina” comments, Sotomayor publicly backed off the remarks Tuesday, describing them as “a rhetorical flourish that fell flat.”

“It left an impression that life experience commanded a result in a case but that’s clearly not what I do as a judge,” Sotomayor said under questioning by Sen.Jeff Sessions(R-Ala.), the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I want to say up front, unequivocally and without doubt, I do not believe that any ethnic racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judging,” Sotomayor said. “I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge regardless of their background or life experience.”

But Judge: YOU SAID IT SIX TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF SEVEN YEARS! If you had said it once MAYBE twice you could get away with saying it was a "rhetorical flourish that fell flat."

But wait there's more!

The Judge formerly known as Sotormayor went further by saying she does not believe a judge makes policy. According to the judge, her job is to "interpret" the law. Talk about pissing on someones leg and telling them it's raining!

This woman is being disingenuous at best.

Her opinions have been flawed, lacking the research and detail that go into any good determination. Whether you agree or disagree with the final out come, the opinions are poorly researched, poorly thought out and many are without any rational reason.

They are going to confirm this woman make no doubt about it. Bet the house.
