Although the thing with Clarence Thomas' wife being a lobbyist kinda disturbs me....
Funny how after the pubic hair on the soda can he got let right in, yet Judge Sotomayor got grilled 10 times harder for her "proud latina" comment taken out of context.
I agree with the obvious conservative slant, though term limits do not help.
Though they should never, ever again decide an election...I am sorry it truly looks bad if your looking for objectivity...They loves the GOP.

Well maybe they won't need to decide another election if the loosing side doesn't try to finesse an election away from the rightful winner.
As for Justices Thomas and Sotomayor it sounds to me like you memories of the events have kind of a partisan slant to them.
BTW it was "
wise" Latina not "proud". The entire quote is:
"
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."
You can take that any way that lets you sleep at night but to me such an
apparently racist (and sexist) statement is at least something worth investigating.
