The "S" Word

Well, that took a little longer than I thought but this morning in the NYT piece about Sotomayor's "judicial temperment, there it was: "strident." I also expect more spicy, fiery, emotional and the like. Just so we all know that even Yale educated federal judges are still crazy emotional foreign bitches. I don't know if I have the stomach to keep track of all the othering that's going on with this.

It's hard to read and watch - but it's also sort of fascinating to read these people so predictably behave in such a biased way, with apparently no recognition of what they are doing.

Well, y'know, these Maria chicks are all the same.

Glenn Greenwald has a nice takedown of this argument, showing - with evidence - cases in which she is the inverse.
