Yes my friends.......if she gets appointed to the Supreme Court, WATCH OUT.
Her views with regards to legislating form the bentch are ALL over the NET.
I hope the Pubs and some moderate Dems can SHOOT HER DOWN.

Don't think it will make much difference to the make up of the supreme court. Balance is still pretty much the same. Think I'll wait until the confirmation process and her views come out before passing judgement.

As long as I'm poorer than you fellows, I will be ok. She will side with me every time. What constitution. I don't see no constitution.

That's a GREAT way to look at it..........
And I can almost GUARANTEE you I started of FAR WORSE than you and most here, so don't give me that garbage about how she will help the common man.
If SOCIALIST policies and legislating from the bench are what you call American Values, your America is a FAR place from my America.

60 percent of her opinions have been overturned by the Supreme Court.
AND I hate to say it..........she sounds like a RACIST.........
"I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
Had a WHITE man said:
"I would hope that a wise White man with the richness of his experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a hispanic female who hasn't prospered as much in life."
He would be called a RACIST.......
Yes........the woman is a HATE Spewing.......RACIST........

She is a racist. This so called reverse racism is running rampid in this country. All I saw on the television last night was how she was so much much of an inspiration because of what she has achieved because of her race. You know the HER AGAINST THE WORLD CRAP. PLeaseeee, give me a break with all the minority bulldung, I'm sick of it. Welcome to Obama World.

At least get the whole quote so you can see it in context and make an informed descision:
"Our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging. Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor [Martha] Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." [U.C. Berkeley School of Law, 10/26/2001]

Another quote for you:
""I don't come from an affluent background or a privileged background. My parents were both quite poor when they were growing up. And I know about their experiences and I didn't experience those things. I don't take credit for anything that they did or anything that they overcame.
But I think that children learn a lot from their parents and they learn from what the parents say. But I think they learn a lot more from what the parents do and from what they take from the stories of their parents lives.
And that's why I went into that in my opening statement. Because when a case comes before me involving, let's say, someone who is an immigrant -- and we get an awful lot of immigration cases and naturalization cases -- I can't help but think of my own ancestors, because it wasn't that long ago when they were in that position.
And so it's my job to apply the law. It's not my job to change the law or to bend the law to achieve any result.
But when I look at those cases, I have to say to myself, and I do say to myself, "You know, this could be your grandfather, this could be your grandmother. They were not citizens at one time, and they were people who came to this country."
When I have cases involving children, I can't help but think of my own children and think about my children being treated in the way that children may be treated in the case that's before me.
And that goes down the line. When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account. When I have a case involving someone who's been subjected to discrimination because of disability, I have to think of people who I've known and admire very greatly who've had disabilities, and I've watched them struggle to overcome the barriers that society puts up often just because it doesn't think of what it's doing -- the barriers that it puts up to them.
So those are some of the experiences that have shaped me as a person".
