Justice is About How Laws Impact Our Daily Lives
28 May 2009Check out this ad spot from ConstitutionalValues.Org promoting Sotomayor as the U.S.’s next Supreme Court Justice.
“In selecting Judge Sotomayor, the president has nominated a candidate of sterling credentials who will uphold the Constitution and the law. We commend President Obama for choosing a brilliant and fair-minded jurist to serve on our nation’s highest court. Judge Sotomayor is precisely the kind of nominee we need – one who, as President Obama described, ‘has the intellectual firepower but also a little bit of a common touch and has a practical sense of how the world works.’” – Nan Aron, co-chair of the Coalition for Constitutional Values and president of Alliance for Justice.

This ad is great! Lets the president lay out the abstract principles, and the words and images tells us how Sotomayor fits.

Unless you are delusional, Sotomayer is a racist, as are all members of the treasonous La Raza -by definition- who’s motto is “For our race everything- for others, nothing”.
Clearly Eric Holder has some racial hangups and agenda too… as does Obama, since his behavior betrays a wierd pro-Kenyan grudge against the British… and he’s the one who nominated all these kooks.
What happened to the idea of a colorblind society? Team Obama define their world in racial terms all the time- and unlike any white people I know. I wouldn’t want to be judged by any of them after what I’ve heard come out of their own mouths- they sound like Jesse Jackson.
If Obama is going to go on with his “justice” agenda largely based upon race- the double standards need to stop, and NOW.

Oh please. It tends to be white men and deluded people of color who promote the ideal of a colorblind society, because their privilege and or internalized racism allows them to do so.
I think an agenda based on justice, including racial justice isn’t a bad place to start and actually it’s long overdue
