Buchanan: "lightweight" Sotomayor "an anti-white, liberal judicial activist"

From MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan's May 29 syndicated column:
When you think about it, Sonia Sotomayor is the perfect pick for the Supreme Court - in Barack Obama's America.
Like Obama, himself a beneficiary of affirmative action, she thinks "Latina women," because of their life experience, make better judicial decisions than white men, that discrimination against white men to advance people of color is what America is all about, that appellate courts are "where policy is made" in the United States.
To those who don't believe the depiction of our first Hispanic justice as an anti-white, liberal judicial activist, hearken to her own words.
Speaking at Berkeley in 2001, Sonia told her audience, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion (as a judge) than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Imagine if Sam Alito had said at Bob Jones University, "I would hope that a wise white male with the richness of his life experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Hispanic woman, who hasn't lived that life."
Alito would have been toast. No explanation, no apology would have spared him. He would have been branded for life a white bigot.
Judge Sotomayor will be excused because the media agree with her and she is a Latina who will use her court seat to impose upon the nation the values of the National Council of La Raza (The Race), of which she is a member.
[...]
Reading 30 of her opinions, GW law professor Jonathan Turley found them "notable" for "lack of depth."
Liberal law professor and Supreme Court expert Jeff Rosen of The New Republic reports, after talking to prosecutors and law clerks, that Sotomayor covers up her intellectual inadequacy by bullying from the bench.
The lady is a lightweight.

Buchanan would be out of work if he did not hold a minority view on things.
of Obamas true feelings on how he intends to impliment his
policy on racial discrimination, blame the "WHITE-MAN" for
all the ills in the world.
Why are these people paid so well to just plagerize one another? Doesn't the right realize that criticism based on ORIGINAL THOUGHTS might carry more weight?
