Marie Cocco of the Washington Post Writers Group notes: “…. the drama stirred up by Republicans reveals some interesting things about race in the age of Obama.“

The sound and the fury at Sonia Sotomayor’s confirmation hearings signify almost nothing. Yet they still tell us almost everything we need to know about race and politics in the age of Obama. No matter how much drama Senate Republicans wish to concoct, it is practically a foregone conclusion that Sotomayor will win confirmation and thus become the first Supreme Court justice of Hispanic heritage, and only the third woman to serve on the nation’s highest court.

So as a matter of Supreme Court politics, the incendiary arguments of Sotomayor’s Republican opponents amount to gruel spooned out to the party’s base, shrunken and demoralized after repeated electoral losses and scandals.

Unless Sotomayor suffers a “complete meltdown,” Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina predicted, she will be confirmed. The price, though, is barely coded race baiting that has been part of the assault on Sotomayor since her nomination was announced. And it dominates the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings.

And it dominates the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. The opening statement by Sen.

Well known anti-immigrant bigots, Senators John Kyl and Jeff Sessions took center stage.

Per comedian Bill Maher, these WHITE MEN are behaving like — “….for too long Puerto Rican women have had their boot on the neck of white men in America ….” (See VIDEO BELOW)

Fox News’ special about Judge Sonia Sotomayor misrepresented Sotomayor’s quote that “the Court of Appeals is where policy is made” to claim that she “apparently confess[ed]” to “legislating from the bench.” The special also misrepresented President Obama’s quote about “empathy.” [ READ MORE ]
