re: #310 Sharmuta

Was she admitting life experience has an impact on how one thinks, or was she saying she’d intentionally apply a standard where she shouldn’t?

It’s really, really obvious from the full context of the speech that she was saying life experiences can have an impact on a judge’s decisions, NOT that she would make decisions based on race or any other prejudice.

It’s not an “extremist” speech, and it’s not “racist.” You may disagree with her points, but she makes them thoughtfully. It’s not a demagogue’s position at all.
