Here's a good question on Sotomayer




I've been reading the histrionics of the new political debate that is just beginning.

It doesn't matter who asked this question - as I don't want to have it pre-judged as originating from one side of the political spectrum or the other.

It's just a question.

So....Madame Sotomayor said the following at a speech at Berkeley: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion (as a judge) than a white male who hasn't lived that life".

Question: if you invert the placement of "Latina woman" and "white male", and have anyone else say it......in a public forum.........would their career be finished?

Good question, isn't it?
