   reverse discrimination is still racist, and the fact that now there's someone on the supreme court who doesn't see anything wrong with reverse discrimination makes me sick.

    Apparently, a person's race and sex is just as important to you as this lady has shown it is to her. Her (or his if that is the case) qualifications should be the only thing that matters. As a woman, I'm not thinking "oh goody! They put a woman up there!"

    Just like with Obama, we get caught up in the gender and race thing without regard to work history. I'm all for diversity but if she'd been white, I still wouldn't have supported her. Let's hope that the racist slant she used before really is in the past… as she has promised…. I'll be watching!

    Who cares about her ethnicity? That's what's wrong with our society… media has caused us to be enthnic-centric. That's all wrong. Celebrate uniqueness but don't give a job because of it. I wouldn't want to hire someone to put rivets on a plane if that person couldn't hold a riveter, right? It's about essential job functions and ability to perform those functions. Not ethnicity. And if you think it is, your screwed up!

    Congrats America! You have a first black president who is BEYOND underqualified and overrated and hated and now you have a first latina judge who is racist and supports affirmative action. Way to vote on race and not on qualifications America. Oh how accepting you are… AREN'T. Voting for someone just because of the color of their skin is still racist. HISPANIC DOESNT MAKE HER BETTER. THE SAME WAY BLACK DOESNT MAKE BETTER PRESIDENT. No one should be voting on skin color, even if it is the PC thing to do. Btw I voted for Hilary, then Nader not McCain, so don't even start with me on conservative/libreral brainwashing.

    Oh! But she's a "racist" (the latest stupid accusation leveled by a party whose only function is to make accusations and be outraged). As we all know the only people who are NOT racists are elderly white guys. They don't need to think about their own racial identity because they have been running the show fucking forever. Their identity is "kiss my ass, Mexican lady."

    please please learn the difference between "your" and "you're" it's annoying and makes you look silly when you're calling someone else dumb but don't even know the correct word to use yourself.

This IS what makes AMERICA GREAT! P.S. There is no such thing as "reverse" prejudice. Prejudice is prejudice. Prejudice against whites is REVERSE prejudice? What's prejudice against gays? Jews? Asians? Perpendicular? Latitudinal? Octagonal? You will note that ONLY white people say she's prejudiced. Think good 'ol George Bush might have used the "N" word a few times in his moronic existence??!!

    I wrote a huge essay on her for my College English class & got really indepth with her history on cases and such. Yes, to me she seems to place way too much importance on race. When people try too hard to protect minorities they tend to discriminate against anyone else. It'd be nice if we could just focus on what's important like academic achievement and good moral character… but no. If too many white people get promoted in their businesses or not enough minorities get into a good school someone will always step in and draw the racist card.

    Re: Lady_Saccharine_Sweetness – I am not saying a judge shouldnt be fair and impartial but someone does need to protect minorities. did you know that crime penalties are steeper for crack than they are for coke, even though crack is basically coke, because crack is considered a black persons drug. a lot of white people and asians and even some hispanics never look at shit like this because you think you're imune to this bullshit, but unfairness in any way shape or form affects us all as a nation.

    Re: YUCK –
    I'm wondering… what is your source for the statement "because crack is considered a black persons drug"? Where is the source that says that is why the penalties are higher for crack than coke?

    I agree that minorities need to be protected. However, I wouldn't stop there. Everyone needs to be protected. No one should be judged by the color of their skin, including white people. Rather, people should be judged by the content of their character- to paraphrase Dr. King. Discrimination is wrong when it is directed against any person, male or female, black, white, brown, yellow, purple or green.

    I am concerned about her ruling that failed to protect equal rights. However, as a moment in history I am proud of my country and the appointment of a latina to the Supreme Court. I hope she will do more to protect equal rights than she does harm.

    Re: YUCK – You have stated that "Everyone needs to be protected. No one should be judged by the color of their skin, including white people." Now you are saying "whitey we're coming to get you" and "racist white American".
    It sounds like you are racist?

    I love the idea of another woman, and one who is from a minority, on the Supreme Court. But not this racist, back-pedaling hypocrite.

     For 200 years the USA was run by White Males and became the worlds greatest country. Now these liberal thinkers feel sorry for the non-whites, which will cause the USA to become a second rate country. I don't give a shit if you call me a bigot, but look whats happen in the last six months with Obanna. He still is brlaming Bush for problems caused by a Congress and Senate what was run by liberals for the last years in Bush's administration. LIBERALS NEVER take responsibility, they look for anyone to blame except themself.
