Non-Latina justice is no justice at all [updated]


A diabetic with learning disabilities, raised by a single mother in a South Bronx neighborhood, rose to the top of elite Ivy League universities.

Lawyer Sotomayor was then given the power to prosecute criminal defendants and, for the past 17 years has wielded the gavel of a trial court judge before judging trial court judges from the second highest court in the land; apparently, if one believes the man that now would elevate Judge Sotomayor to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, all in a callous land devoid of justice:

This woman is brilliant, she is qualified, I want her confirmed, I want her walking up those marble steps and starting to provide some justice.

Starting to provide some justice?

Sotomayor overcame all those odds despite the fact that justice remained in the starting blocks. But wait, DeVine Gamecock Law (pictured) in this fourth installment of our Sotomayor examination, three other factors may explain this late 20th and early 21st Century Alger Hiss story.

Did I mention that Judge Sotomayor is female and Puerto Rican? Did I mention that over 75% of the population of the unjust nation in which she was raised is Caucasion and that the legal profession in which she has achieved prominence has been dominated by white men?

Clearly, the gender and racial superiority combination of a Latina explains her better decisions that has her 51 Senate consent votes away from finally starting to provide some justice in America. Sotomayor admitted her advantage in 2001:

“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.

Too bad we can’t all raise our children to be Latinas, but how then do we explain the achievements of non-Latinas, especially the big non-Latina kahuna, Kenyan-Caucasian presently occupying the White House who seeks a Justice with empathy for superior Hispanic women? Can one achieve Latina-like superiority by empathizing with La Raza or many of the other race-based organizations with which Sonia has been obsessed most of her adult life? Has Obama’s dreams of his Marxist Kenyan father or Audacity of Reverend Wright’s hate-KKK America hope sufficed to elevate the President’s empathy and competence.

Rewinding the “start” of Obama-Sotomayor justice

One wonders what Latina tricked the exclusive white male electorate to outlaw slavery and demand equal protection of the laws by super-majorities in Congress and the states with the passage of the Civil War Amendments?

Was Chief Justice Earl Warren’s clerk a Hispanic woman who hypnotized her boss and eight other white men to end de jure racial discrimination across the fruited plain? Was Thurgood Marshall no good at starting justice?

Had justice not started in 1865, nor even by 1954? How about the overwhelming Republican white male and overall white male votes for the 1964 and 1965 Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts?

Where those respective acts, unjust? Was it a nation lacking in empathy that welcomed Barry Obama’s African dad or that affirmatively provided him with an education with the nation’s elite?

Given the Latina supremacist views of Sotomayor, one wonders if she agrees that justice hadn’t started when African-American crowds cheered Orenthal James Simpson’s acquittal from murder charges in the wrongful deaths of two white people, even if one of them was a woman (one half of the secret formula for superiority after all, but I digress…).

Would the start of justice provision upon ascending marble steps mean reversing her own decision to deny white males and one chromosome-lacking Hispanic male, merit-based promotions based on their race?

How would Latina-Wonder Woman start justice for the ACORN-gun-wielding voter intimidation thugs that Obama’s political appointees at the Justice Department exonerated over the objections of career (read non-empathetic white males?) un-Justice Department lawyers?

If only Miguel Estrada had been Margarita he could have out-smarted pasty white male Patrick Leahy and started providing justice several years ago…

After all, how could there have been justice in the past?

Most of the judges were white men.

Wait until we have Sharia law voted in by a majority Muslim population.

If you aren’t careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”– Malcolm X, Audubon Ballroom, December 13, 1964

to the Robert Stacy McCain blog, The Other McCain.

Stacy’s May 30 entry included this gem:

Claiming to be humanitarian idealists, progressives in fact have succumbed to a form of malignant narcissism that compels them to pursue their vision — The Vision of the Anointed, as Thomas Sowell so brilliantly described it — because it reinforces their presumptions of moral and intellectual superiority.

This vision is what the conservative rejects, and what makes the conservative convert such an effective leader is that he knows full well what he has rejected — and he knows it personally, first-hand, subjectively. He knows the flattering deceit of believing himself more enlightened, more tolerant, more sophisticated than his fellow man, merely because he identifies as a Democrat, a liberal, a progressive.

If those lines don’t describe the mindset evidenced by Sotomayor’s “wise Latina woman” statement, I don’t know what does.

What I like especially about this diary is how it focuses on this arrogant attitude that there has never been any justice in America until we elected Obama and he put up his nominee for SCOTUS. This attitude that America has always been on the wrong track until now is offensive to everybody. This attitude is not only offensive to Republicans, but it is offensive to the Democrats who still take pride in the American History of their Party’s Presidents.

Obama needs to be called out on his statement of Sotermayor starting to provide justice.

Good post, GC!

Taking away my revulsion at the racism inherent in the statement, I don’t understand where such a statement comes from. Is there an Ibero-American country that I am unaware of with a better record on courts? Is there a specific court in the US where Latina women have demonstrably been a force for accurate interpretation of the law? Given that the answer to those two questions is no (relative to the standard, white US male-dominated courts), what are the properties that she believes makes her and her compatriots better at deriving a correct interpretation of law?

Coming from someone who has half of the magic formula for the rendering of justice, I have to say, the only possible examples that I can see that would corroborate her supposition are, at best, somewhat negative. Moreover, the Puerto Rican legal system is primarily built around Anglo law, and not on Latin-American traditions, so I fail to see how she would be qualified to tell us how a legal system created or dominated by “wise Latina women” works from personal experience.

Lumping Hispanics with other “oppressed” minorities is something that I’ve never understood. Blacks were shipped as slaves to the US, and indegenous Americans got the shaft in their relations with the European powers and their derivates. What did they suffer to allow them to join the club of “maltreated” minorities? Was it their being a part of two world-spanning empires (Portugal and Spain), or the relatively benign examples of racism in the US against them relative to other minorities?
