SOTOMAYOR SAMBA and KOREAN KRUNCH
Sources allege Sotomayor has made racist remarks. Based on press reports, she has stated Hispanics (and other minorities) make better judgements (as in, the judicial due process) than white (males). Some groups are livid ,as they should be,while others make little or nothing of her comments, which were delivered at a "La Raza" (which translated, means, "The Race") meeting.
What's the litmus test here? Very simply put, if Obama's nominee was a white male, who said that whites make superior judgements as compared to Hispanics or other minorities, and these remarks were made before the "The White Race Club"---would that be (construed as) racist or evidence of racism?
You know the answer. And you also know there is a double standard at work---which is in and of itself proof of racism (or as some might say, 'reverse racism').
In any case, if as AG Eric Holder said, we are cowards when it comes to racial issues, then let's take his cue, and stop being cowards.
Racism is WRONG.
Right is right, wrong is WRONG.
Any individual holding and expressing views that reasonably can be classified as racist is NOT qualified to sit on the highest court of the land. Or any court, for that matter. As they say in judicial circles: RES IPSA LOQUITUR- "THE THING SPEAKS FOR ITSELF".
It's time for the double standard to stop. Racism is objective, not subjective. Let's let this be the first step in putting this behind us. No more cowards. And no more racism.

Meanwhile- North Korea festers and becomes ever more bellicose. Let's hope someone on our side is taking it seriously. More as the events unfold.
Pray for peace.
