sure.

as a judge, she had a large number of opinions unanimously overruled by the supreme court. which means that everyone from Antonin Scalia to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and everyone in between, said she was wrong on the law.

on race, she said that a female latina, by virtue of her unique life experience, would make a better judge than anyone else.

She’s a poor jurist and a bigot.

not directly related to the current attack on the courts

but found this interesting in a current free speech case involving support of illegal immigrants

Gorsuch to the trump Admin Lawyer


Justice Gorsuch noted that being in the country illegally is not itself a crime, so why is encouraging someone to stay a crime?

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
