So you think that justices should be decided by race, and Presidents as well. I personally don't believe that race should have anything to do with these positions, however, racists like yourself (as you have said) think that race is the most important factor. Which is more racist, I, who believe that we should judge people based on their character, or you, who says we should judge them by the color of their skin?
No a black President is fine. A hispanic judge is fine. But that racist Sotomayor has no place as a judge, much less on the Supreme Court, and I cannot wait for this one to blow up in 0bama's face.
Stop telling lies. To people it may sound racist what she said about the "wise latina" comments. But in reality she is not racist. She was just stating that in the White House the majority of the people there, were White males. So she wanted for the White House to give an opportunity to the minorities as well, and for the White House not to be all white members.
You didn't read the article did you? She said that a hispanic woman would make a better decision than a white man. She also basically called Clarence Thomas a token black man on the Supreme Court. She IS a racist through and through.
Tell me the truth, if a black man said, "I believe that an African American, with his heritage would come to a better decision than a Puerto Rican," would you say that is racist? The answer must be no, but you are saying that she right in saying that about Whites.
Either Sotomayor is a racist or you are, which is it? It can't be neither according to what you have said. I would guess it is both.

Lol stop trying to put words on my mouth. I do not think she is racist. Maybe you mal-interpret it wrong. If she said such thing like you are claiming, then she is racist and that is wrong. But like I told you I do not think she is racist. Why do you think she was nominated then? Obama nomiated her for a reason.

She did indeed say it, and she is racist:

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.
67% of Hispanic voters voted for Barack, he's owes a favor.

Wow. So that's the way the Obama administration should work, he stands only for the groups that stood for him.
The President should owe no one a favor, especially not when the fate of the country is on the line. But you may be on to something, as to how Obama could have picked such an incompetent moron.
You honestly believe that putting some dumb Hispanic on the Supreme Court is "owed" because Mexicans voted for him?
I think I understand how Obama got in now, he corner the moron vote.
President Barack Obama pledged to bring change to Washington, but he is continuing one of the capital's most entrenched traditions: rewarding political supporters with ambassadorships.
In some capitals, being assigned a U.S. envoy who is less than qualified could be taken as an insult. Career diplomats say the minimum requirements for an ambassador are speaking the language of the country, knowledge of that nation and its neighbors and at least some foreign policy experience. Without such qualifications, U.S. policy and influence can suffer.
On Wednesday, Obama nominated 12 ambassadors, only four of whom are career diplomats. The career diplomats were nominated for posts in Brazil, Iceland, Kosovo and Sri Lanka. If confirmed, the eight political appointees will serve in Argentina, Britain, Denmark, France, Japan, India, the Vatican and the African Union.
Hey you're getting to be pretty funny. Not in a good way though.
