re: #126 Charles

Has it been confirmed that she’s a member of La Raza? (frankly, if that’s the case, I find that shocking. La Raza is an advocacy group. And speaking to such a group — speaking to, say, CAIR — is very much different from being a member of the group, being a member of, say, CAIR. Here in Canada, if you were to be hired by the CBC, one of the first things you need to do is resign and stop any affliation with any “advocacy” groups…that’s to demonstrate one’s impartiality, that you’re not going to be swayed or accused of being pressured into making statements which could be seen by someone as “biased.” Justice must not just be done, but seen to be done…anyway, maybe I’ve been outside the U.S. for too long — or maybe certain rules have changed so you can be a card-carrying member of advocacy group X and still be a “judge.” That such a rule exists strikes me as problematic…)
