re: #313 Walter L. Newton

I’m not interested in any political hit pieces or whatever, I will have her own record take care of her nomination. After these two points, I’m not giving her any benefit of doubt.

She will have to explain these to the American public. She will have to expel MY doubt, not the other way around.

(Hat tip on following quote - Red Pencil)

Sotomayor is a graduate from Princeton University, where her legal theses included Race in the American Classroom, and Undying Injustice: American “Exceptionalism” and Permanent Bigotry, and Deadly Obsession: American Gun Culture. In this text, the student Sotomayor explained that the Second Amendment to the Constitution did not actually afford individual citizens the right to bear arms, but only duly conferred organizations, like the military. Instead of making guns illegal, she argues that they have been illegal for individuals to own since the passing of the Bill of Rights.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male”

Maybe she can explain how the richness of her experiences formed
her conclusions on the above points.

Did you click the link given for the “article” that was “quoted” at that blog, jumpinginpools? What the heck is this?
