Judge Sotomayor

The long awaited nomination to the supreme court by Obama is finally here. Judge Sotomayor. The republicans could not wait to start bashing this one. Rush (BTW is he the republican spokesman?) calls her a reverse racist-whatever that means.

Her critics say she's not the most qualified even in the Hispanic judicial circles. I don't care-is she qualified enough to serve in the supreme court? Yes. Have the 150 plus opinions that she has written support her as a moderate as opposed to a radical? Read Left wing (for the republicans) Yes. Should her credentials be vetted-or course. This is a nomination if confirmed will last beyond Obama's presidency. Vet her yes but do not critisise her for being a woman, a Hispanic or one who supports the rights of the minority. Does being empathic automatically disqualify her? C'mon guys she's human not a robot.

May i remind republicans that her nomination to the district supreme court in NY was by George H.W.Bush so spare us the rhetoric and go ahead and do what we all know you will do-Confirm her for failing to do so will cost you the Latino not to mention the women vote which you so desperately need.

Barca...do me proud!
