No, that was long before there was a notion of a "hispanic" minority group. Your father was NOT a minority.
He most certainly was a minority. As a Hispanic, he was a mix of white, black and Native American Indian. IOW, he was dark complected and suffered discrimination due to that. When he looked for a part-time job as a teen, he would show up for an interview only to hear "We don't hire Puerto Ricans." Yes, the term "Hispanic" had yet to be coined but what does that matter? He was still a minority and still experienced blatant discrimination.
1. Neanderthals were smarter than modern humans.
2. There is no statistical appearance of overreach by the administration. There is a statistical appearance of overreach by the district courts, which have continually purported to impose nationwide injunctions that necessitate an immediate appeal.
The Supreme Court has to. That's it's job. Nationwide injunctions are almost always improper.
Yep. And its been striking the extent that "resistance" judges have gone to in order to issue such nationwide injunctions. Its much higher under President Trump than in the past.
Note, it would be one thing (but still a stretch) if these courts' orders were ultimately being upheld on the merits. But they have been largely struck down and invalidated by the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court.

So basically he was able to pass at times when scores of others could not. He was able to get into college and have a successful career when others could not. Brown v Board of Education didn’t effect him someone like him because he was white enough to pass in many instances. He wouldn’t need affirmative action because he often wouldn’t be rejected for his race.

I am literally scratching my head about how you could have read BOS2IAD's statement and reached the conclusion that you did
Her comments has nothing to do with one's political leanings and everything to do with the current administration statistically appearing to overreach with its position of what constitutes a true emergency requiring interlocutory relief at the Supreme Court level.
Apparently, this is now the 24th time that the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to put a lower court decision on hold in less than three years compared to a total of eight such requests during the 16 years of the George W. Bush and Obama administration's combined. Sotomayor's dissent - if you bother to read it - is really aimed at addressing that issue.
But I know that facts and analysis will take a back seat to neanderthals bashing liberal judges. So do carry on.
Meh. She is the weakest and most partisan of the SC justices.
Why have so many "emergency" relief cases have been lofted?
I have read elsewhere that it is 55 in Trump's last 3 years, vice 19 for Obama's 8 years and 12 for W Bush's 8 years. Many of the courts that bring these have a known left bias, more than a 3rd coming out of California's notorious courts alone.
Ted Cruz put it best. Sotomayors complaining about her fellow SC justices is like an arsonist complaining about the sound of fire trucks.
