Progressive Sotomy

"I, [NAME], do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as [TITLE] under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God." -The oath taken by a Supreme Court Justice

"Second, 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." -Sonia Sotomayor

Really? So when she takes the oath to "administer justice without respect to persons", will she be going back on some of her beliefs? Can she say this oath with a straight face?

The Associated Progressives/Associate Press along with many other media organizations are agog and committing sotomy over this nominee. His Presidency has given us a woman with real-world knowledge, one who truly cares and is empathetic.

Let's put it this way, she has enjoyed the American Dream. She graduated from the Ivy League and sits as a judge. Through her push and self-interest, she overcame her existence (with the help of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness) and made a name for herself. OK, how does that make her more qualified to make a decision than a poor black man from Georgia, Justice Clarence Thomas. Ah, yes, because he is "conservative" and she is "progressive".

Many media outlets are praising His Presidency's choice of the first Hispanic justice. Racism is a tool of progressives for political gain. It's racist ONLY if the the perpetrator is conservative, Republican, or individualist.

As for reaching "a better conclusion", is she saying that if a latina had been on the court all this time, rulings would be different? Does this not undermine or keep in contempt the Court's previous rulings?

A last thought: Are not the progressives worried about loading the Court with Catholics? If sworn in, she will become the sixth Catholic Jurist, following the Papists Roberts, Scalia, Kennedy, Thomas and Alito. If His Presidency wants an empathetic Court, the Catholic experiences of these six would be worrisome to abortion-rights activists.
