I think that its sad that in 2009 we still have people who will question someone’s intellect and qualifications based on their ethnic background or gender. The fact that she came from the school of hard knocks and she has been able to accomplish more than all of our current Supreme Court justices when they started makes her one of the most qualified people ever.

Some people are born on 3rd base, but think they have hit a home run. But she has proven that she is not one of those people.

What makes Carl Rove (high school graduate and Bush”s minion/hand puppet) competent to critique Judge Sotomayor”s intellectual attributes? Let”s review the facts. After graduating valedictorian from New York”s prestigious Cardinal Spellman High School, Judge Sotomayor went on to graduate summa cum laude from Princeton, and later received a law degree from Yale, where she was also elected Editor of the influential Yale Law Journal. In comparison, Bush was a legacy admission to Yale and graduated “thank-you-laude” with a paltry C average. Why is it that every minority candidate (Thurgood Marshall, Clarence Thomas, and Sonia Sotomayor) nominated to the Supreme Court has been criticized by White (male) pundits as being intellectually incompetent? Even though Judge Alito was affiliated with a racist organization (he denied knowing the group was racist) while at Princeton and had an unremarkable tenure as a student while attending law school at Yale, no one ever questioned his intellectual ability before and during his confirmation hearing.

All this GOP caterwauling and posturing is just a way for the failed, disastrous Republican Party to raise money from the racist loons — the last solid base it has left.
