Thanks, Obama, Now Dump Her

President Obama, thanks for nominating a Hispanic. Now dump her from the Supreme Court!
I understand the need to be “inclusive” in your decision to select Sonia Sotomayor for the highest court in the land. You have shown you are “inclusive” by selecting somebody with brown skin. Very good. You get brown-brownie points for that. Now let’s find somebody more qualified and less activist.
You see President Obama, skin color does not mean a damn thing. As a Hispanic, I can tell you my skin color does not have any magic potion. Sure, I was tempted to take the easy route. I could have let flaming liberals feel sorry for me and make me more “inclusive.” It would have been easy to take the affirmative action road–free stuff and no accountability. Instead, I focused on hard work and individual responsibility. Somehow, I don’t think most people will say to me, “Gosh, you must be smart and qualified. Your skin color is brown.”
Sonia Sotomayor is a walking billboard for affirmative action. From high school to the present, she has had her hand out to the liberal establishment. She has gone to the front of the line because of her brown skin. Has anybody bothered to ask how a poor Puerto Rican got into a rich, exclusive high school that she couldn’t afford? What about her grades in high school or college? What about her admonishments as a judge for poor quality work? What about being overturned so many times? What about her activist judge viewpoints? Is she qualified or does she have the right skin color?
Think about it.
