re: #235 zombie
Seems OK … until that last line:
“I simply do not know exactly what that difference will be in my judging. But I accept there will be some based on my gender and my Latina heritage.”
Say what? Imagine a white judge saying “I expect to make some rulings based on my white heritage.” He’d be political toast.
I don’t think the term “white heritage” is the equivalent of “Latina heritage.” One is related to skin color — the other is cultural.
