Study: Sotomayor tough on white-collar criminals

So she gives the criminals a hard sentencing, does that still change her views as being a racist???? Bad choice!

It would be interesting to break down the sentences along victim and perp ethnic and income lines to see whether the harsher sentences were evenly distributed.

The heading probably has it right. She probably deals out stiffer penalties to "white" collar crimes. It would be interesting to see how the penalties are dealt between whites and minorities for the same crime.

This revelation is sure to turn conservatives against her.

She's not racist. Show me anyone whose worked with her or knows her that can give an example of her racism.

Rush didn't explain and your bias stopped you from researching. Her ruling on the Fireman mirror the majority ruling using article 7. What the Supreme Court did was to clarify Article 7.

You can have a differing opinion and your opinion doesn't have to be based of racism. Without a trend of racism to draw a conclusion from the American value system gives her the benefit of an doubt.

We have a filibuster proof majority. You lost. Whine on. She will become a judge so deal with it.

So it's OK to be a racist judge... as long as you are tougher on white-collar criminals that other colored-collar criminals?

I thought MLK taught us that COLOR shouldn't matter? Not the color of your collar, not the color of your skin, not the color of your policical party.

What's up with those on the left now pushing the political-correctness of discriminating by color (just as long as it's collar-color you use to discriminate by of course)?

How does the left justify someone who thinks hispanics make better judgements than whites? and females make better judgements than males? How can the left DEFEND that type of thinking, when they KNOW they would be all over it if this type of prejudice statements were attributed to a conservative nominee?

Again she she does not have fairness, the blind equality needed to be a supreme court Judge.


Judges MUST be blind to race,

Judges MUST be blinf to creeds,

Judges MUST be blind wealth status, treat rich an poor eqaully,

And Judges MUST be blind to the type of COLLAR crime committed. And treat and punish criminals according to the crime committed. meanin she should all equally harsh as the law allows,

Sotomayor is NOT fit, NOT wise enough, and certainly NOT willing to wear a blind fold when administering justice, to be judge on highest court of the land.

Judge Sotomayor is well-suited and well-qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice. She is not racist or biased. She is an excellent choice, and I will be glad when the Republicans stop their obstruction, and work to confirm this eminently qualified Justice.
