Since you like a diverse Supreme Court, what do you think of the only black person on the bench?

Would you prefer a white male who decides cases differently?

Clarence Thomas is hands down the worst black supreme court justice to ever server...

Now, now. We've all been told a million times that just because you disapprove of a black official (Obama), it doesn't mean you're a racist.

• Malesko v. Correctional Services Corporation (2000) Judge(s):Sonia Sotomayor
Malesko v. Correctional Services Corporation] 229 F3d 374 (2000)

Yet another bad Obama decision. Can anyone really say they're surprised?

What was Sotomayer's need to bring her ethnicity/gender into her statement or to mention white males in a negative way? Come on, we weren't born yesterday.

I often hear this from people who believe that people of one race will decide things differently from people of another race.

People who believe that are racist bigots, of course. They are afraid of those who will decide legal cases simply on the merits.

I wouldn't care if everyone on the Court was black. Or if everyone on the Court was white. Or latino. or male, or female, or etc.

I would care if they thought government's role was to redress ancient wrongs, when it's not. Or if they thought govt could legally tilt the playing field to favor one group over another. Or if they thought people's property rights could be disregarded willy-nilly. Or if they thought the Constitution meant something other than what it clearly says.

So, does that mean that a Republican who disapproves of President Obama is a racist but a Democrat who disapproves of Justice Thomas is not?

Hypocrisy galore.

As a matter of fact ... I can't.
