Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s Nearly Same Quote 1994 And 2001

History tends to repeat itself.  So do people when they cannot remember what they said.  Or when they want to emphasize something.

Sonia Sotomayor 1994.

…I would hope that a wise woman with the richness of her experience would, more often than not, reach a better conclusion.

Sonia Sotomayor 2001.

 “I would hope 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.”

Looks like someone refining their stance. 

When Judges Need Help

When judges need help deflecting the press corps, they turn to their aides apparently.

Aide To Sotomayor: “Don’t Answer Any Questions”, in response to questions about Newt Gingrich.  Video.

Portends need for greater assistance as a SCOTUS?

Underwear Prize At Bull Fight

When the bull spies its target and gives chase.  It stops the target, maneuvers a hold, but instead comes up short at the first opportunity to send the victim spinning into the air with its horns.  Double prize.  Underwear wrapped around horns, and hearty gloating as he watches a partially naked man running to the bleachers for a little modest cover-up.  The bull proudly  cocks his head with a new headdress.

Obama The New Tutankhamen Of The World

Suddenly proud of his Muslim heritage he was so quick to distance himself from during the election primaries? 

Jake Tapper talks about The Emergence of President Obama’s Muslim Roots.  You know, those roots no one dare so speak about lest they offend the man who was raised a Muslim after all.  The roots that bore his namesake, especially his middle name Hussein that he feared would evoke strong sentiments against him by the American voters.  The roots that gave him cause for concern, as Obama preemptively cautioned voters against potential Republican attacks.

The squirrels want to be patriotic even in their own resting place!
