HOW ABOUT including a full discussion of Sotomayor’s membership in La Raza, the Hispanic version of the KKK. The last thing we need on the Supreme Court is an acknowledged racist.

Judge Sotomayor was a VICTIM of racist!!
Shame on America that racist exit within the Judicial system.
Not a surprise though.
Hope she got nominated to show minority that there is really JUSTICE in America.
