[Vision2020] Reverse Racism?

[keely emerinemix]

I disagree with you completely.  But what I'm really interested in is this:  Did you make the same argument when Clarence Thomas was nominated?  Because if you really want to showcase an intellectual dim bulb on the Supreme Court, that might be a good place to look.

I'm very sorry to be the one to burst your little 
bubble but, while the nomination of your 55 year old latina 
is unquestionably politically savvy, she is far from the legal communities 
most prominent shining light. Her nomination will, no doubt, score OBL a few 
short term brownie points with a certain segment of the electorate but will 
leave scant impression on American jurisprudence. While her story is touching 
and all, you would be hard pressed to find anyone who honestly believes that she 
has the intellectual firepower to make any headway with legal minds 
the likes of  Breyer or Ginsberg much less Alito, Roberts, or Scalia. She 
is pretty much destined to be little more than a liberal "me too." In other 
words, affirmative action as it's most commonly practiced.
