“Raised in a housing project in the South Bronx to a family of Puerto Rican descent, she went on to graduate summa cum laude from Princeton University and become a law review editor at Yale Law School, mirroring Obama’s own unlikely yet quintessentially American success story. So Sotomayor would certainly seem to embody the bipartisanship, intellectual prowess and capacity for empathy that Obama has suggested are key traits for this first Supreme Court pick.”

Which is why I do not want her on the Supreme Court.

I happen to think the white firefighters were right, I do believe that if you study and prepare yourself and pass the tests you should be hired.

I do believe so because as a minority woman I am in the group that does not get fair shake, never did.

I do not want a woman who might forget that I have the right to my own body, to that my abilities should be recognized, or that I have the right to freedom of expression.

And if anything , I am left to the Democratic Party.
