Burden
Barack Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor to fill the seat vacated on the Supreme Court. Obama nominated her to advance his agenda. There were only two qualifications necessary in Obama’s eyes. Sharing the same philosophy and being a Hispanic sealed the deal for Sotomayor. No other qualifications were required. Now Obama and his minions could praise her as the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice.
Obama refers to the constitution as negative liberties. I can guarantee Sotomayor shares the exact same viewpoint. Sotomayor is obviously not a constitutionalist. In fact she believes sympathy and empathy should play a role in Supreme Court decisions. Any nominee for the Supreme Court who basis court decisions on sympathy and empathy has already proven unqualified.
New Haven Connecticut rejected the results of a 2003 firefighter-promotion test because Caucasians outscored African Americans and Hispanics. Why? City officials feared lawsuits from minorities claiming a bias. Of course Sotomayor endorsed disregarding the firefighter-promotion test.
Sotomayor is not only unqualified but a racist. Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich are correct in their criticism. I don’t know if you brain dead liberals are aware of this, but Caucasians can be victims of racism. Often referred to as reverse racism. But how often is racism against Caucasians made an issue by liberal Democrats? Never.
Isn’t it strange how superior Caucasians are compared to minorities? If you take the philosophy of liberal Democrats you would get the impression minorities are a helpless bunch in need of protection and handicaps. All this talk about sympathy and empathy demonstrates how minorities are pathetic compared to Caucasians. Do Caucasians need affirmative action? Are Caucasians out seeking sympathy and empathy? Unfortunately the circumstances under which Sotomayor was nominated present what would be called an ugly truth.
Race is irrelevant in my eyes. If I’m an employer and I’m interviewing candidates for a position I will select the candidate with the most credentials regardless of race. Affirmative action promotes equal opportunity but obtaining a position of employment should not be based on equality. It should be based on ability to perform the tasks required.
Imagine Sotomayor was a Caucasian male but has the same so-called qualifications. Would Obama still nominate Sotomayor to the Supreme Court? Not a chance in hell.
Obama based his Supreme Court decisions on ideology and identity politics. Qualifications disregarded.
Should Sonia Sotomayor be confirmed? No. Will Sonia Sotomayor be confirmed? No doubt. Republicans are cowards on the issue and won’t even attempt to fight this nomination. Even if Republicans chose to fight this nomination and actually criticized her judicial record, she would still be confirmed due to the overwhelming amount of liberals in the Senate. Republicans should fight Democrats to the end on this nomination regardless. The Republican Party needs to be the opposition. Not attempting to be a less extreme version of the Democrat Party.
These are some scary times in America and as Obama said we haven’t seen anything yet.
