A judge who really understands what it means to be a judge, IMHO, would never have made the “wise Latina” comment in the first place, never mind what words come after, because a judge must avoid even the appearance of partiality.

For this, I think she is a poor pick to be on the Court.

Calling yourself wise is so arrogant sounding no matter what your meaning is. The truly wise don’t need to point it out. It was unwise of her to make the statement(s) at all since she now has to explain herself.
