I down-dinged you because you are repeatedly beating the dead horse that is the “latina woman” quote. Read in context, she is simply making the point that no judge can honestly claim to be 100% impartial. A sentiment that was shared by none other than Samuel Alito during his Senate Confirmation hearing.

You have the right to continue your faux-outrage at a quote taken completely out of context. And I have the right to down-ding you for lowering the quality of the discourse on this thread by repeating a Hannity talking point.

I read the speech, thanks very much.

The quote was not out of context.

She did not merely acknowledge that one’s life experiences color one’s judgment; she downright celebrated her prejudices, and baldly asserted that her ethnicity and gender allows her to make “better” decisions (again, HER WORD, NOT MINE, as much as you’d like to pretend otherwise) than those who did not share that ethnicity and gender.
You can obfuscate all you want; the evidence is in black and white.
