‘White Nationalist’ Pat Buchanan Calls Sotomayor ‘A Militant Liberal LATINA.’ Day 3 was yet another grandstanding opportunity for the G.O.P Senate BIGOTS, who are Hung Up and Strung Up on “Wise Latina.”

Buchanan declares Sotomayor a “militant liberal Latina,” Matthews and Robinson push back

Maddow slams “Uncle Pat” Buchanan for “stoking… white people’s racial animus” on Sotomayor

Judge Sotomayor’s comment that a “wise Latina” judge would probably make better decisions than a white male colleague, has been the rallying cry for Republicans during the last three days of her confirmation hearings. The toxicity which the Republican members of the judiciary committee are injecting into the judge’s “innocent” statement of 2001, while speaking to a largely Latino audience, is laughable.

Judge Sotomayor has made it clear that her remarks were a “rhetorical flourish that fell flat,” and that she was merely trying to inspire her audience of women and Hispanic students — and that diverse experiences would enrich the legal profession.

Apparently that has not convinced the senate sons of yester WHITE LYNCHERS, who have had a stranglehold on what is law and what is not, since the inception of America.

America is rapidly become diverse and they are afraid, very afraid of being washed away from absolute power. That’s the problem in a nutshell! The FEAR of a non-snow white America, or as Osama Bin O’Reilly put it: “The liberals are out to demolish the WHITE CHRISTIAN MALE POWER STRUCTURE.”

What they fail to mention is that these liberals are mostly white too — bolstered by “oppressed minorities.”

Well, the train has left the station, speeding, and doesn’t matter how loud these senate and radio bigots howl — no one will STOP IT!

In an opinion piece, Eugene Robinson writes: ‘Being white and male is seen instead as a neutral condition, the natural order of things. Any “identity” — black, brown, female, gay, whatever — has to be judged against this supposedly “objective” standard.’ “Thus it is irrelevant if Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. talks about the impact of his background as the son of Italian immigrants on his rulings — as he did at his confirmation hearings — but unforgivable for Sotomayor to mention that her Puerto Rican family history might be relevant to her work. Thus it is possible for Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to say with a straight face that heritage and experience can have no bearing on a judge’s work, as he posited in his opening remarks yesterday, apparently believing that the white male justices he has voted to confirm were somehow devoid of heritage and bereft of experience.”

“….if the Republican Party is going to be competitive, it can’t be seen as the party of white male grievance — especially in what is almost certainly a lost cause. Democrats, after all, have the votes to confirm Sotomayor.” [ READ MORE ]

G.O.P Hung Up on “Wise Latina”

RACIST ‘White Nationalist’ Pat Buchanan on Sotomayor: “A Militant LATINA”

Southern Comfort

Notes: UNCLE-TOM Miguel Estrada’s nomination was rejected (filibustered) by Senate Democrats in 2003. They refused to allow another Uncle-Tom, like Clarence Thomas prowling the insides of highest court in the land.

References:

1. Senator Jeff Session’s History of RACISM — In 1986, Sessions’ nomination as a U.S. district court judge was rejected following allegations that Sessions had a history of making racially charged comments.

2. Post-Sotomayor Nominations Are at Stake in Hearings — By forcing Judge Sotomayor to retreat from Mr. Obama’s desire for justices with “empathy,” Republicans have effectively set a new standard that future nominees will be pressed to meet. The Republicans hope their aggressive questioning of Judge Sotomayor on race discrimination, gun control and the death penalty will make it harder for Mr. Obama to choose a more outspoken liberal in the future.

White Man’s Last Stand: Republican Men AFRAID OF EXTINCTION Are Out To Trip A Latino Judge — A gaggle of Republican men afraid of extinction couldn’t root out any sign that Sonia Sotomayor has emotions that color her views on the law.

•    ON SENATE HEARINGS: President Obama wants Sotomayor, naturally, to bring a fresh perspective to the court. It was a disgrace that W. appointed two white men to a court stocked with white men. And Sotomayor made it clear that she provides some spicy seasoning to a bench when she said in a speech: “I simply do not know exactly what the difference will be in my judging, but I accept there will be some based on gender and my Latina heritage.”

•    ON SARAH PALIN: Sarah Palin is the definition of irrational, a volatile and scattered country-music queen without the music. Her Republican fans defend her lack of application and intellect, happy to settle for her emotional electricity.
