She’s a poor jurist and a bigot.

you can easily google both claims i made. many of her opinions were unanimously overturned on appeal, and she said that latina women make the best judges. go look that up, and get back to me.

humiliated if you prefer.
if a nominee who was a white man, said “white men make superior judges to anyone else”, i’m pretty sure you’d take vehement offense to that.
she also belongs to a group called La Raza, which literally means, “the race.”. Not “a” race, not “one race of many”, but “the” race.

you love to stretch the Truth
Q: What percentage of Sonia Sotomayor’s opinions have been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court?
A: Of the majority opinions that Judge Sonia Sotomayor has authored since becoming an appellate judge in 1998, three of them have been overturned by the Supreme Court. out of 232 cases
The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court on August 6, 2009, by a vote of 68–31.
The Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court as an associate justice on October 6, by a vote of 50–48.

she had 5 of her opinions reviewed by the supreme court, 4 were overturned, 3 of those unanimously. if you’re satisfied with that ratio, good for you.
i’m well aware of the votes to confirm her. that’s not because the gop likes her, it’s because the gop didn’t then make a habit of opposing judicial nominations for political reasons. The democrats invented that with Bork.

That was errr over 20 years earlier Jim, not to Mention Mitch's pathetic behavior in the Senate during Obama.
Please stop humiliating me, it's hard to bear
