The lies keep adding up.

Sotomayor claims her remark about a “wise Latina” making a better judgment than a “white male” has been misunderstood:

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor refused to renounce her comment that a “wise Latina” woman might be better positioned than a white man to make a wise court ruling.

But at the same time, Judge Sotomayor, 55 years old, said she regretted that her remark in a speech several years ago has been “misunderstood” by some and has stirred so much controversy.

And, that might be believable if she hadn’t made the same comments or similar comments on numerous occassions over the years. Let’s be honest, this woman believes that growing up in the ‘hood gave her more than street cred. She thinks her life experiences as a Latina make her a better judge than a white male.

More importantly, she said her words failed. Perhaps this wouldn’t be that big of a deal if she wasn’t up for confirmation for the job of interpreting words. I mean, if she doesn’t have enough mastery of the English language to get across the meaning of her own words, how can we entrust her to interpret the meaning and intent of words as written by our Forefathers in the Constitution?

Are we to believe this woman? She also claimed that her life experiences wouldn’t influence her court decisions, she would only be influenced by the facts of the case and the applicable laws. Her “wise Latina” comments betray this lie.

In addition to that, Obama’s own statements betray that lie. Obama has been telling us since the campaign trail he would pick people based on their life experiences. Why would he pick a person based on their life experience if he didn’t have an expectation of those experiences influencing how a person did the job (in this case, how a judge would interpret and apply the law)?

Can a person be charged for perjury for lying to Congress at their own confirmation hearings? Oh, never mind. I know. Democrats never get charged for anything, especially perjury. If a Democrat president can get away with it, then this woman certainly can.
