Bigots and racists are wholly UNAMERICAN. That said, this is a very, very funny letter.

She will be a good judge | 6:46 a.m. July 17, 2009
Actually Mrs. Sonia Sotomayor is a very mainstream judge. Her rulings are well within the norm. Her ruling on the firefighters was at the time the way things were done, there was a precident for that type of ruling.

She will be a fine Supreme Court judge. She went to Yale, having come from a modest background and graduated with honors. She has a perspective that will help those downtroden, because she has lived among it, she has probably experienced it.

There are those who say the sky is falling, but there will always be these prophets of doom.

She brings a needed perspective to the court, of fairness, empathy and fidelity to the law at the same time. She is smart, very smart too, what more could we ask for in a judge?

Uh? What is this letter writer talking about? Is he really suggesting that Mexico is going to be handed a dozen states back from the US?

Rob: We need as Utahns to apologize to you for the quality of education you received. Lack of focus on education results in poor thinking and reasoning skills which your letter demonstrates in spades.

Well, I guess we all know Rob is at worst a racist and at least a xenophone.
Sad for Rob.

How naive and uninformed we all are. In Mexican elementary schools they don't refer to the western US as the USA, they refer to it as Greater Mexico and most maps don's show a southern border on the US. They're taught to repopulate the lands that the "Gringos" took away from them and to take it back. Look at the list of mayors in SoCal, AZ, NM, and Texas and tell me it isn't working....now a wacked out leftist member of La Raza on our Supreme Court will just further accelerate the process. 45% of children born in the US were of Latin parents.....anyone else see the writing on the wall?

Hellooo! Ms. Sotomayor has no tie to Mexico at all. Her parents came to New York from Puerto Rico. If the writer is trying to be cute, he failed. Thanks, DN, for giving space to racism.

Only the ignorant would believe political satire is a true indication of racial bias.

Only the left view disagreeing with mass (illegal) immigration as racism. As Iv'e said before, if it were Canadians coming over the border en mass, it would be the same concern. It just happens to be Mexicans, so th libdumbs pull out the only trick they have and call it racism to disparriage the opposition. When you can't fight facts, use emotion until everyone beleives it. So cliche and tired Libs, if you are going to keep arguing with irrelevant points, at least find some new irrelevant points.

Normally satire should be both funny and relevent. This letter is neither. Instead, it borders on wholesale bigotry. The writer should note that Judge Sotomeyer doesn't come from Mexican ancestry, but instead is Puerto Rican. I doubt that the writer would recognize the difference.

It is no wonder that the right wing is marching toward the dustbin of history.
