Today President Obama nominated the first Hispanic to the Supreme Court. Not only a Hispanic but a fellow Puerto Rican. Under the right circumstances I would be bursting with joy

But my longing for celebration is quickly curtailed by the realization that this nomination was purely political in nature

There is no honest intent here to award merit. There is an intent to diminish the individual and perpetuate the lie and stereotype that members of a racial minority all share the same goals and experiences

the main thing that’s been talked about her is her race

She’s been reduced to a politically convenient pawn and an affirmative action puppet

Her nomination is nothing more than an attempt to “diversify” the Supreme Court. The major factor in her nomination wasn’t her greatness, it was her race.

Because I am fully aware of the proper role of the Supreme Court and the function Justices are supposed to serve, I am convinced Sotomayor is not the best and/or right person for the job.
