"While interviewing for jobs during her final year of school, she accused the firm, then known as Shaw, Pittman, Potts & Trowbridge, of discriminating against her by asking questions about the qualifications of Puerto Ricans and other minorities.
Sotomayor's complaint caused a campus furor. A student-faculty panel found the complaint warranted and ordered Shaw Pittman to write her a letter of apology.
The complaint resulted from dinner conversation between Sotomayor and a Shaw Pittman partner, Martin Krall. According to press reports at the time, Krall asked her whether she would have been admitted to law school if she were not Puerto Rican and whether law firms did a disservice by hiring minority students with inferior credentials and then firing them a few years later.
Before attending Yale, Sotomayor graduated summa c*m laude from Princeton University and won that school's highest academic honor for an undergraduate. She served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal and was one of just a handful of Hispanics in her class."
She was certainly warranted an apology from that law firm because they basically questioned if she was qualified because of her ethnicity. Now if only she felt the same way about white males.

Nice point, it is not right to question her but she sure the heck will be questioning anyone who is white and that will be ok.
For this job she needs to be ripped apart at the seems so we do not make the same mistake like we just did with Fidel Obama.

How silly. She said a Latina may be more sensitive on some issues than a white male. Didn't Sandra Day O'Connor make a similar statement? Justice O'Connor said that no matter what the court does about abortion, it would be men making decisions about womens' bodies.
Has concurred with her Republican justices on the 4th District 95% of the time.
380 written opinions and only 3 have been reversed by the Supreme Court.
