Thanks for the invitation to shed whatever complex we might have as a result of misconceptions and misperceptions. Thanks for the pride. The successful nomination of Sotomayor is an event as significant as the appointment of Thurgood Marshall, and one which its repercussions we cannot even begin to imagine. It does not matter that she is Puerto Rican born or that you are Mexican born or that I am Guatemalan born. She describes herself as a "wise LATINA"! How refreshing and fulfilling to see a unifying theme!! Thank you for the opportunity Rolando Maria:

The wise latina comment may have some deep spiritual meaning to you, but to white America it is just a joke. So, if you think your white male colleagues will think “A wise Latina”?, you'd better think again; Wise-Ass Latina, maybe. Wake up!

What in hell is going on here!! Has everyone forgotten what the purpose of the Court is; apparently Obama has! As for what Obama owes this banana republic refugee, it has now been paid, the court cow has been confirmed!

Never mind that they might be unqualified for a certain position? And you agree that politicians now "owe" Latinos because it is their vote that makes his or her election possible? Wow, racial politics at its extreme! Are you saying that it is politically unwise NOT to vote for someone because they are Latino? Never mind that they might be unqualified for a certain position?
