Sotomayor thinks being a spic is good in government? Ask Alberto Gonzales.
You think women, or negroes, are better in government? Ask the victims of Condi Rice. Or Albright. Or Clinton.
Check this out: Sotomayor made a case when someone asked,
during a dinner conversation between Sotomayor and a Shaw Pittman partner, Martin Krall. According to news reports at the time, Krall asked her whether she would have been admitted to law school if she were not Puerto Rican and whether law firms did a disservice by hiring minority students with inferior credentials and then firing them a few years later.
The real disservice is to the firm's clients. But who cares, they had a colored on staff. Woo-hoo.
