The republican party is faltering on its own. They are a bunch of spineless appeasers, alienating the conservative base, which got them their power.

Rush is exactly right. If a white judge said he hoped a wise white man in the richness of his experience would reach a better conclusion than a female latino judge would, there would be hell to pay.

There is a reason the woman in the statue of justice is blindfolded.

  --So then you've read or heard nothing that rebuts that quote, qualifies it or puts it into context, I take it?

    Absolutely, race should have no impact on decision making. The only difference she made between the two was about race. As far as experiences vs non experiences goes, the persons race doesn't matter.

      I'm asking if you're open to the possibility that there might be perfectly benign interpretations of her remarks?

        Possible, but when taking into consideration her recent ruling of the firefighters test invalid because the results were not diverse enough, I don't think that is the case.
        
        You are who you are, and no pun or racism intended, but she is showing her true color.

        --I don't think you're familiar with this case at all and, worse, you're drawing conclusions based on your own random criteria.
