iSotomayor es lo Mejor!




Hi Everyone,


So, this whole post is just about that statement in the title. I still don't know how to do the upside down exclamation mark that the Spanish language uses, so I used the lower-case "i" to create the effect seen above. The hearings to confirm Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court began this week. By this point, you've all seen or heard Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) or Jeff Sessions (R-AL) make fools of themselves by basically giving Sotomayor all their attitude. Perhaps it's because Sen. Graham is mad because he's a dude named Lindsey.
I discussed Sotomayor with you in a post last month. Not much in the way of new revelations about Sotomayor has surfaced since. She did sprain her ankle a few weeks ago, while catching a plane to Washington in LaGuardia Airport. So she has had to attend her confirmation hearings in a cast. Imagine having to deal with these Senators backtalking you while recovering from an ankle sprain. She must be tough. According to Lindsey Graham, too tough. He talked about lawyers who supposedly said she was a "bully," but aren't judges supposed to ask challenging questions of lawyers? People claim that she'd be some sort of radical, but her record shows no indication of this. She usually went along with the majority of her colleagues. She's just the kind of even-handed, judicial, but nevertheless empathetic (remember, empathy is good), Justice the Supreme Court could use. So, let me repeat the Spanish phrase (which may or may not be phrased correctly) I proclaimed above: iSotomayor es lo mejor!

  1. Hi D.R.,
    I think Sotomayor proved how judicious and even-tempered she can be by putting up with the senators' repetitive and insinuating questions.
