Participant[quote=Aecetia]Allan,
Good points above and don’t leave out the Dred Scott v. Sandford Supreme Court decision. Judges are very fallible. That is why confirmation demands due diligence and not just a rubber stamp because she is a double minority. That is a pathetic way to pick a justice.[/quote]
I agree that confirmation demands due diligence. But are you suggesting that her nomination was solely because she is female and latina? She has more bench experience than any nominee in the last 50 years.

Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]
Further, she does have credibility issues as far as impartiality and racial/ethnic policies go, as illustrated by the “Ricci v. New Haven” decision. Hence my question on the impact of the Ricci testimony.[/quote]It may be a fair line of questioning. If it came from anyone other than Sessions. (A man who “had no problem with the KKK” until he found out they smoked dope.)
On her numerous allusions to her heritage, both Roberts and Alito said very similar things during their hearings. Alito said:
When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account.
Neither were criticized for it, nor if I recall correctly, even questioned about it.
See above for my response re: Ricci. She made the only correct decision she could. In overturning her court’s decision, the Roberts court reset the law.

Seriously, find my words you have a problem with. I have no idea what you’re talking about. You have misread what I wrote.
And on Ricci, Sotomayor DID follow precedent. Had her court found other than the way it did, she would have been disregarding precedent. It was the SCOTUS, in overturning her court’s decision that created new precedent. I haven’t seen a single one of her appellate court’s findings in opposition to stare decisis.
(I didn’t see the exchange, so I have no idea how Sotomayor responded.)
