In better times, a sitting Supreme Court justice would be impeached
for saying this.
A person on the court, exercising her first amendment rights, could not be impeached for her comments as they are not of either of legal or ethical misconduct.
Oh you right wingers, just win the election and you can teach the chubby Hispanic Justice a lesson.
Unless the Democrats in the Senate blocks every nominee as a little payback for what's happening now. "What, 3.5 years before the term is over? That's practically a lame duck. Let's have the next President nominate!!!!!! Let the people speak!!!!!" Dumb.
So Harvard and Yale don't admit a diverse selection of students?
No, they're not diverse at all. There are predominantly two types of students at Harvard/Yale Law. Rich kids who are legacy admits and affirmative action disciples. A hard working, middle class, white, stellar student has almost no chance in Hell of getting in.
But that's not the point. Harvard and Yale don't even give grades. Their students are on a pass/fail system. They get jobs on Wall Street and in big firms, regardless of how poorly they did in law school. And, as I said, many of them get into law school because of family connections and money. Some of the dumbest lawyers I know went to Harvard. I know a Yale Law Review editor who took the bar in CO 5 times before she finally passed.
There are wonderfully talented attorneys and judges who went to state schools and they never get the opportunity to join the Court. It's a disservice to all Americans to keep appointing an incestuous pool of applicants from only two schools.

Huh? The only time the House impeached a SCOTUS Justice was 110 years ago, and no Justice has EVER been convicted by the Senate. So what "better times"?
For once Sotomayor has framed "diversity" in a way that is in the interests of founding stock Americans, a kind of "only Nixon could go to China" statement. And descendants of the Protestant settlers whose back she has in this instance come on here and act all offended on behalf of the Jews and Catholics??
Last time I heard; Tiger Woods, who is Asian AND Black, was the top golfer in the US. Mr Woods did it by stepping up to the plate and taking care of business.
Olympics: that ain't just a "white" thing, even Mexico has Olympic athletics and, I'm guessing they're "Mexican". Hell; word is some of "white" Europe's best athletes are "Black" people who got Danish and so on citizenship so they COULD compete.
I guess you aren't up to date much. Tiger Woods is now #475.
I say go all out and get a wheelchair-bound, transgendered, Asian, lesbian.
That's better than a diversity trifecta!!!!!!
If they can't find one with legal experience, get one, send he/she/it to some overseas law school then sign 'em up, baby.
