Rush pulling the racism card on the judge lady?

[Tev]

So yeah, I heard about this yesterday. Apparently Supreme Court nominee to-be, Sotomayor, said some things a while back that somehow Rush and Newt thought were racist. As my roommate summed it up for me; "Rush said that if some business case came to court, and the plaintiff/defendant was like some Asian/Mexican combo, then she'd side with the Mexican because she's Mexican. Apparently only old white guys can be impartial."

That of course made me laugh a little. Anyway, here's a more journalistic look at the situation at hand.

In her 2001 speech in California, Sotomayor said: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Conservatives seized on the quote to argue that Sotomayor, 54, is an activist liberal judge who would place racial and ethnic characterizations above the law in her decisions. In private meetings with senators, Sotomayor has insisted she would follow the law, not personality, in reaching decisions.

But the remarks became part of the debate over whether she should be elevated from the federal appeals court to the Supreme Court. Led by Gingrich and Limbaugh, conservatives called Sotomayor a racist.

But Sessions added he was still concerned about Sotomayor's past statement because it raised questions. "It's inevitable that your personal views would affect your decision-making," Sessions said. "And to me, that's directly contrary to our great history of blind justice in America."

Hah...ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

So yeah, where do we draw the line at reverse racism?
