Why don't you all just come out and say it? "We don't want no spic bitch on the Supreme Court." It's not that hard. Everybody knows what you're saying around your "ethnic" and "empathy" and "sympathy" proclamations. Say it. "We don't want her letting more of the brown folks share the American Dream." Simple. It's what you're saying amongst yourselves anyway. It's what you're trying to get across to the clowns who vote for you. Hint: They only have two brain cells; you want to make sure they have no doubt about what side of the fence you come down on.
Take Jeff Sessions. This dork couldn't find his ass with both hands tied behind his back, yet he sits there and lectures a woman far more accomplished, far more intelligent, than he could ever hope to be. A woman who knows the law at least as well as her own children. To paraphrase Lawrence O'Donnell: 'You don't have to pass a test to be a committee chairman (or ranking member), you just have to sit in Congress longer than everyone else.' That he has the balls to talk about "prejudice" is the ultimate in hypocrisy and chutzpah.
These are the same people who swore John Roberts and Sam Alito were pillars of the legal community*, completely unbiased, and questioning their "empathy" and "sympathy" were out of bounds:
... Jeffrey Toobin, a well-respected legal commentator, has recently reported that "[i]n every major case since he became the nation's seventeenth Chief Justice, Roberts has sided with the prosecution over the defendant, the state over the condemned, the executive branch over the legislative, and the corporate defendant over the individual plaintiff." Some umpire. And is it a coincidence that this pattern, to continue Toobin's quote, "has served the interests, and reflected the values of the contemporary Republican party"? ...
Lotta empathy going on there, just not for people of color (or ethnicity). Hopefully, that tool Lindsey Graham was right when he said, paraphrasing: 'Barring an earth-shaking scandal, Judge Sotomayor will be confirmed as the next Supreme Court justice.'
The Republicans have become a joke, an obvious one. Between Sarah Palin, Rush Lintball (and all of his ilk), and the racist hypocrites in Congress, they will eventually be laughed into oblivion. Thing is, it ain't happening soon enough and they stand to fuck up even more stuff in the interim.
