re: #748 Yosemite Bill

To be charitable the speech was an exercise in identity politics / judicial “empathy” based on sex or ethnicity.

The speech she gave was the Judge Mario G. Olmos Memorial Lecture.

This annual lecture honors the Honorable Mario G. Olmos ‘71 who dedicated his life to promoting equality and justice for people from diverse national, economic, racial, and cultural origins. Born on July 24, 1946, in Nogales , Arizona , Judge Olmos graduated from Reedley Junior College and University of California , Berkeley where he was named to Phi Beta Kappa. At Boalt Hall he was an Ayer fellow and a Regents Scholar. Although he was nominated to the California Law Review, he chose instead to work in the community and to recruit students of color to Boalt.

It was at a symposium titled “Raising the Bar: Latino and Latina Presence in the Judiciary and the Struggle for Representation.”

What was she supposed to talk about?
