For Obama, non-Latina justice is no justice at all (Updated)

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Via TMR, from this Obama statement on elevating Judge Sotomayor to Associate Justice of the Supreme Court one could think that he believes we now live 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.

As TNR notes, what does Obama mean by "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.

Clearly, as the title of the TMR piece suggests, given Obama's statements on Sotomayor and the spin coming from the White House, one can't help but think that Obama believes "the face of Obama justice starts with Latina superiority."
