OMGoodness!
We FINALLY get a good pick for the Supreme Court and the GOP is having a hemorrhage about a speech that she made in 1991!
Yes, Sonia Sotomayor did say that a Latina judge "would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Context people, think context!
The people having the biggest fits are old white guys who were never poor. Ever.
The point is that each judge brings their own background with them to the bench. That's human, we ALL view things from the influences of our lives.
A Latina woman who came up from poverty, fighting her way into law school and success, is definitely going to view life from a different perspective than a white child of a privileged background.
In some ways, she may be more compassionate. In others, she may be harder than any of us can imagine.
Don't buy into the media and the politicians carrying on. It's all a tempest in a teapot. She'll be great!
Sonia Sotomayor is a great choice for the Supreme Court!

Arnold Doesn't Know A Thing About The State Budget!
Yes, you heard me say it.
Not only is Arnold an idiot, he doesn't know a damn thing about the budget that he's blathering about!
Let's take just a quick pot-shot at him today, it's easy enough.
He wants to cut the Healthy Families program. It costs the state about 350 million or so a year. First, is he really so stupid that he wants to cut health care for CHILDREN? Second, if he cuts the program, the state loses about $500 million in Federal funding.
Wait a minute, that's not saving us money, it'll cost us $150 million!
And that's not even the most stupid thing he said this week.
He said he'll cut CalWORKs.
Say what?!?
He's going to cut a program that costs about $1.5 billion. Yeah, that's hella money.
But, but, but --
It brings in $4 billion from the Feds! So he's going to throw away $3.5 billion?
Arnold thinks that the general public is going to buy into his bullshit.
Think not!
Remember, every time Arnold opens his mouth, he's lying to you, to me, to us all.
I can hardly wait for the next election...
