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.

Then you tell me what this means…

“I further accept that our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions. The aspiration to impartiality is just that - it’s an aspiration because it denies the fact that we are by our experiences making different choices than others….

I accept…
our experiences…
woman…
color…
AFFECT OUR DECISIONS

I don’t know what is clearer than that.
