re: #24 Walter L. Newton

My point being (which I suspect you already understand) that I don’t care if she has a gold plated left leg here, her apparent racism and raced based decision making tendencies is enough to make me totally against her nomination.

As soon as I see some proof that she doesn’t track toward a racial preference mentality, then I will gladly change my mind.

As of this point, nothing in the race category has changed.

I read the entire speech she gave (the “better than a white male” speech) and found it extremely troubling from an identity politics standpoint. She seems very big on equality of results instead of equality of opportunity. She speaks a lot about how justice will change once parity is achieved for minorities and women.

The speech is here:

It’s not the kind of thing you want to read if you believe in a blind judiciary.
