What Sotomayor Meant To Say
In 2001, Obama’s Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, said:
“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 who hasn’t lived that life.”
Embarrassed by the unspinnably blatant racial prejudice contained in the remark, Obama did his best damage control by claiming “I’m sure she would have restated it” if she had it to redo.
Which is fine. Everyone misspeaks from time to time.
But that begs the question: “What did she mean to say?”
I speculate thusly:
 |
* “Did I say ‘better’? I meant ‘racister’”
* “White men is stupid, y’all! Can I get a HELL YEAH?”
* “I was a white man before the surgery, and I learned a lot from the experience.”
* “I. Have. Issues.”
* “You have not experienced Black’s Law Dictionary until you have read it in the original Spanish.”
* “Sonia, Sonia, Uber Alles… everybody sing!”
* “I get overturned by the Supreme Court 60% of the time. Basically you could replace me with a brown Magic 8 Ball and come out ahead.”
* “Para Espanol, oprima numero dos.”
* “When you got a tan, you ain’t The Man.”
* “My decisions are based on the plain meaning of the written law. My job as a judge is to set aside my personal biases and make the decision that the law demands. If the politicians don’t like it, they’re free to write a new law, but that’s THEIR job, not mine.”
Any other possibilities?

“Para Espanol, oprima numero dos.”
I laughed for about ten minutes. Thanks.

Sotomayer wouldn’t even make it as a juror! I shudder to think she is actually a judge. She should be taken off the bench with the manical remarks she makes.
May 30th, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Everyone has been focusing on the Latino woman/white man thing. I thought it was interesting that she referred to herself as a “wise” latino woman. Most folks gifted with wisdom do not refer to themselves as wise. Just goes to show you the typical arrogance of the left.

Sotomayer makes MANIACAL remarks.

“It is out of sheer morbid curiosity that I’ll allow this spectacle to continue.”

“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 who hasn’t lived that life….
but since I’m not one myself and to be honest, I can’t even name one, I really don’t know wtf I’m talking about….never mind.”
In The War of the Racists, I’d say whitey has a bit more ammunition.

Under this president (a loose term, indeed), this is the best we can expect.
She also typifies most of the people that now rise to the top in our local, state and federal governments - including - and even more importantly to the Left - in public education.

We’ve been hoodwinked!
She’s not actually a burrito biter, she’s Chinese!
We’ve been taken over by Pinko Commie North Koreans!
Is there no end to their diabolical evil?

“I would hope that… If you ain’t brown, you won’t stick around.”
Though it would be funnier had she said any of these.
May 31st, 2009 at 12:58 am
I think we can safely rule out the last one.

Sonia: “Man, I am sooooo wasted!”
May 31st, 2009 at 2:42 am
She was really overqualified at her first job as a stripper. That mug could strip the chrome off a muddy trailer hitch. In the dark. Justice isn’t blind, it made me go blind. BHO will not rest until every bridge in America is troll free. Other than that, I’m sure she will make a great example of why not to nominate moonbat extremists to the court.

THERE ONCE WAS A LITTLE CHICA NAMED SOTOMAYOR,
UPON THE HIGH COURT SHE WILL BE A PLAYER,
UPON THE CONSTITUTION SHE WILL SQUAT,
HER FORTE WILL BE JUDICIAL FIAT,
KEEP ON HAND PLENTY OF BAYER.
WITH A FACE LIKE BELA LUGOSI
THIS ERZATZ HISPANIC MAFIOSI,
WILL FROM THE HIGH COURT PONTIFICATE,
ON THE CONSTITUTION SHE WILL DEFICATE,
COULD WE HAVE PICKED ANYONE MORE GROSSI.
May 31st, 2009 at 8:03 am
DEFECATE

“What Sotomayor Meant To Say”
“I hate men ,mostly the white ones”
“Die whitey die!”

“white men can’t vote”

“I’ve spent my entire life trading on my ethnicity. Why in the name of los angeles would I stop now?”
“Just because my decisions have been overturned 60% of the time doesn’t mean I’m a bad judge. It just means the judges who overturned my are rasist *&^$ who should be removed from the bench and incarcerated.”
“Although I’m basically incompetent I will continue to “rule and reign” because as a wise latina woman, that is what I do.”
“We all rise to the level of our incompetence, so I guess I’ll be a Supreme Court Justice someday…….or the head housekeeper at La Quinta. Either way I’m large and in charge Gringo.”
From me……..She who lives by the racist, bigoted remarks, dies by the racist, bigoted remarks. Sotomayor needs to find a filter for her mouth and something to jump start her brain. And BO….well, he just need to find a nice communist country to “rule” and take all his sycophants and bootlickers with him. As soon as humanly possible.
May 31st, 2009 at 10:25 am
“overturned my decisions” …….fingers, fingers, fingers, they’re all against me. My fingers make me type bad just like guns kill people. Sigh.

I miss America.

If Sotomayer is so wise, does she know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

Does she *like* Tootsie Pops?????

We can’t hold this against her, because Sonia Sodomizór is confident that once she is seated on the SCOTUS, the percentage of her decisions being overturned will improve considerably.
May 31st, 2009 at 6:13 pm
In other words, the decisions made by a white man are generally wrong or irrelevant because, as we all know, white people don’t have any experiences.
Seriously now, c’mon; what have white people ever done in the way of advancing civilization? I mean aside from just about everything people the world over use & enjoy that helps them live longer, talk on the phone, email, drive around, and so on. Whites (or gueros, as Sotomayor might call them) have no richness of experiences. All those European examples of culture are invalid because, as the racial status-quo will tell you, they are not of a genuine race experience.
Except for maybe the Jews. But we all know they don’t count, as they are Jewish…just ask Obama’s political patron Jimmuh Carter how much they actually matter.
Renaissance art? Pshaw, that’s nothing as compared crucifixes made out of tin & aluminum, or velvet paintings of Elvis. And nothing screams advanced culture like a Mexican fast food chihuahua wearing a beret.
Inventions? They all pale in comparison to one four-letter word: TACO. Soft shell or hard, that’s one innovation that no one other “culture” can claim…unless you’ve ever had a Greek gyro…(culture is in quotes, as they haven’t contributed anything. Sure, there’s Greek mythology, theater/comedy & tragedy, and stunning architecture. But it’s not like they contributed anything as far as race goes, like, say, the comedic tragedy that is Paul Rodriguez)
National holidays? They’re all wasted days in contrast with Cinco de Mayo, the day where Mexicans celebrate their defeat of the French. Quite a feat, I’m told.
And when it comes to organizational skills and fierce loyalty, nothing compares to the vast groups of latino street gangs & drug cartels. As for the latter, that’s entrepreneurship at it’s best.
Yep. That genuine race-based experience are what matters (just ask ultra-genuine black guy Barry Soetoro-Davis-Dunham-Obama), so get it through your heads…you stupid-ass white people.

What I really meant was I hope that if Charles Johnson, Ron Paul, and I were in a room together, we could probably solve the debates between evolution and creation and isolationism versus global economies, and I would look the most sane in the process.

I suppose she could have said, “I’m smarter than white men.” but that doesn’t really help, does it?

Marco, when I read that, I first lauged literally out loud then started sobbing.

Depends on what you mean by “improved”: percentage goes up? or percentage goes down? If she joins the minority opinion, the dissent, I would count that as having had her decision overturned.

ROFLMAO

What should our reaction be if she overturns one of her own rulings? Should we cheer because the SCOTUS got it right? Do we clap because she switched to our side? Or should we be afraid, very afraid?
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 pm
Ahhh, the contributions of the aztlan culture (as we have pointed out before): walls made from the skulls of the victims of human sacrifice; human coprolites containing human DNA (proving cannibalism); and a technology that couldn’t produce either the keystone arch or the wheel.
So of course a latina will make better decisions than a white male.

Nope. Just a good excuse to buy more guns and ammo.
