Did I miss the memo about the qualifications needed for an individual to do a given job? When did the empathetic ability of an individual trump their obvious inability too properly interpret the laws and rules of their chosen profession?
What sound and logical Manager would opt to position an individual whose judgment was wrong more than 60% of the time into a roll, which would grant them the authority to dictate policies that would affect that company’s legal and moral guiding principles?
Allowing such individuals to rise to prominent positions can be seen as nothing more than a power move that begs to ask the question…
Why is it that a document, that has guided our nation to become the most powerful country on the planet, usurped by those who no longer, if they ever did, believe in its legitimacy?
I know, not the question you thought. I digressed, forgive me.
At any rate…
Sotomayor is a bigot, in the worst way, in that she openly states her prejudice beliefs and is given a pass by those who agree with her. An awful part of this charade is that those who agree with her, are in positions of power. And an even more devastating part of this travesty, is the American people, who sit back and allow such things to occur, acting as coconspirators to a crime on the American way of life.
Sotomayor has been nominated to sit on the bench of the highest court in the land and 60% o the time she has had her rulings overturned by this bench.
60%, Wow!
She is either incompetent or ideologically driven. Or both.
Are there no more qualified individuals ready to take a seat on the bench of the Supreme Court? Is there not one more individual who scored higher on their exams in college or whose rulings have a better percentage rate of approval? Is there not one more person whose interpretation of the law and the Constitution been tried, tested, and found far more competent? Is there not at least, one more?
As for a President who would appoint such a person who is obviously unqualified, he must want something in return.
Sotomayors’ kissing the boots of the President will probably be a mere 60% of what will be anticipated of her.
Again, I digress. Sorry.
Sotomayor has made her bigoted views clear, and with her self proclaimed low scores in college and 60% reversal of her judicial decisions, she feels that she is owed this position, not because she has earned it, but simply because she is a latino woman who has towed the line of the likes of Obama. She is a woman with a chip on her shoulders, as all could see from her decision to deny white firefighters a chance at promotion, because they are white. Sotomayor thinks the black candidates should have been promoted, whether or not they are qualified, in her opinion, has no bearing.
America, doesn’t that worry you the least bit?
We are no longer looking for the best qualified to do the most important jobs in our society.
We are not asking those looking to take on prominent positions to rise up and give us their best.
It is no longer, what you know…
It is who your ancestors are.
Sotomayor, 60+% wrong.
Isn’t there something 100% wrong with that?
