The Supreme Court disagreed! They actually held that, no, even though there was no way for a woman to know that she was being discriminated against until she found out, she could only go back 180 days! So if you have been discrminated against for 20 years, you only get to go back 6 months... can you see how that would be devastating to women and how that lets the company get off almost scot-free?
Well, in that situation, I do think that a diverse court that would be impacted by such a decision would have reached a different conclusion. So, when Judge Sotamayor talks about her ethnicity, it does not mean that it makes her a better judge, but that her background gives her more insight into the real-world impact of these decisions that, frankly, a rich white male may not "get."
she agreed to the salary she was getting paid. the company does not have to give her a raise if they dont want to.
Its not fair to expect the company to pay her extra wages from the past 10 or 20 or 30 however many years she has been working there.
Typical liberal. A day late and a dollar short. Someone should clue her in about the recent gun ownership ruling. Her thought's about the subject are now irrelevant.
Actually, it's the "typical conservatives" who are a day late and a dollar short, because they're quoting something she wrote 30 years ago in a college paper. The law is now settled on the issue.
P.S. Vsmoove, I had to spell it out or he'd never get it.
Anyone here familiar with the wording of the 2nd Amendment? Anyone familiar with why the 2nd Amendment was included in the Bill of Rights? Anyone here familiar with the Supreme Court's 1939 decision in United States v. Miller? That was the first, and until very recently, the only case in which the Supreme Court had directly ruled about meaning of the 2nd Amendment. They held that the Second Amendment protects a collective right rather than an individual right and that regulation of individual gun ownership should be left to the states to decide.
In striking down Washington D.C.'s handgun ban by a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court's 2008 decision in D.C. v. Heller held for the first time that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to keep and bear arms, whether or not associated with a state militia.
I agree with the way the 2nd Amendment was interpreted from the founding of the US until 2008, I agree with the 1939 ruling, I agree with the 4 dissenters on the D.C. v. Heller ruling, and I agree with Sonia Sotomayor.

Then you agree with losing your liberty and becoming a slave.

Right... the old "she should have left" argument... even though she didn't know she was being discriminated against... you just proved the point as to why a diverse Court is necessary.
Going to need to come up with a much more reliable source. The first line in the paragraph you quoted states:
"Sotomayor is a graduate from Princeton University, where her legal theses included..."
Sotomayor received her undergrad education at Princeton and her JD from Yale. I question the reliability of a story that has that large of an error.
I agree.
I hate wasting time in threads whose source of data is a blog.
People can write whatever they want in blogs, and spin them to sound any way they want.
And speaking her attending Princeton ... Sotomayer graduated 1st in her class. She has to be a pretty smart woman to graduate at the top of an Ivy League school, where her fellow graduating students are amongst the brightest in the country.
She grew up in a housing project, and managed to rise to level of a Supreme Court nominee. That is a truly impressive story.
Her brother became a doctor, so she comes from a hard-working family.
She seems like an excellent pick for the Supreme Court!
Once again, Obama has proven himself to be exactly the type of president I had hoped he would be!
