My aunt is a circuit judge for the EEOC in DC/Northern Virginia and knows he and his wife quite well but like many others stays far far away from him....


and for everyone questioning Sotomayor's intelliegence - let's see some of your college transcipts - especially all of you who graduated summa cum laude from Princeton or another competitive college.

Your post doesn't say much for the backbone of the EEOC employees and the standards they swear to uphold. Most of them have to be attorneys, right. They not only protected/harbored him, as one of thier own fellow lawyers (and because he is a fellow lawyer), but they allowed him to ascend to this nations highest court by being cowards, that is of course what you say is not just hearsay, or third or fourth person half truths. The post is sad commentary.

Spence this avenue of litigation was fought over in the 1970's. Sotomayor must have been absent that day in law school when they reviewed those cases. Reverse discrimination cases were made famous in Massachusetts with regard to the civil service examination test for police officers.
