The Committee for Justice (CFJ), an astroturf group established by big business in July 2002 to create an appearance of popular support for President Bush’s judicial nominees, is now leading the effort to oppose the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the US Supreme Court.
CFJ’s Executive Director Curt Levey has been sending out press releases and making media appearances to promote the theme that Sotomayor is racist and biased in her rulings, drawing his talking points largely from a speech in which she suggested that when it came to race and sex discrimination cases, it was possible that “a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences … would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
“It’s pretty disturbing,” Levey told The Hill. “It’s one thing to say that occasionally a judge will despite his or her best efforts to be impartial … allow occasional biases to cloud impartiality. But it’s almost like she’s proud that her biases and personal experiences will cloud her impartiality.”
CFJ was created at the urging of former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-MO) – who has himself been plagued by allegations of racism. In 2002, as Senate Democrats stalled the nomination of Judge Charles Pickering to the Federal Court of Appeals over Pickering’s alleged racial insensitivity and opposition to abortion, Lott recruited C. Boyden Gray to create a fake grassroots organization to drum up support for Pickering’s confirmation.
There ya have it folks!
I think this is one reason why.
I notice how you have changed from an out right charge of racism to "discrimination against white males". Is this because you noticed that the racist charge did not fit considering her siding against minorities in many discrimination cases? But not in the Ricci case which involved white males huh? So she is not a racist because she did not side with a Latina woman in one case and a black couple in another case but she does "discriminate against white males" due to the ruling of the panel in the Ricci case? Come on Pat, you can't point to one case over a 17 year career and know the personal philosophy of a judge.
Buchanan has been hearing himself, and his co-horts, progressively distorting the subject, to the point where he can just blurt out the stupidity above, and he may have even convinced himself that it's fact by now.
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I'd really like to see Buchanan address this. If she really is acting on some inclination to discriminate against white people, what better opportunity is there than to support the job termination of a white bigot, as opposed to dissenting with the opposite conclusion?
It's quite pitiful that Tweety hasn't brought this up to Uncle Pat whenever the latter is on OddBall whining and moaning about "reverse-racism" and "discrimination against white males".
