Keli Goff: How Judge Sotomayor's Second Language Does Make Her More Qualified Than the Average …

As I said during a recent appearance on CNN's Lou Dobbs the GOP members of Congress tasked with thwarting Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination certainly have their work cut out for them. The woman not only appears to be lacking serious skeletons in her closet, but hers is so squeaky clean that it makes those of us who don't color coordinate our underwear drawer feel wholly inadequate.

Does the author of this article have a thing for Sotomayor? I've never seen such tripe in my life?

I think it is completely appropriate that the author feels wholly inadequate he or she certainly is. But then it is the Huffington Post so what can we expect?

What a pitiful and lame crock.........I would think the biggest obstacle she's faced is her ugliness and not just in her physical looks. There exist a lack of class and a look of nastiness about her; and, according to some who have worked under her is the bullying arrogance of her dictatorial nature and demeaning attitude. Kinda sounds like Obama. But, physically, she is ugly too, Man, is she ugly!!!

Ahhh the Left... So intellectually dishonest!

I will forget her "mistake" in her speech when you remember her "mistake" against White firefighters!

The concern for us all is whether she has a predisposition to make rulings in favor of minorities, simply because they are minorities, and how it will effect the Supreme Court? Will she rule based on Law or be an activist?

We believe the Huff, right? You may be able to brainwash the Obama supporter because they will go along with anything he does or says, but there are millions of us who can think for themselves.
Sick of hearing how Sotomayor was poor as a kid, tell me how she went to Princeton and Yale, then. I know she worked summer jobs. Sound familiar?

Another Huffington Post junk article. The author sound like she sits around counting points she makes by the water cooler. Thinking the quality of her work isn't good enough to get a deserved promotion, she tries to climb the ladder socially. I don't think that approach is any better than trying to sleep her way to the top. She sounds very bitter.

When I voted for Obama, I thought he was a smart man however I am having second thoughts on his decision making abilities; Soto mayor is going to be the worse decision I have ever seen and she is bad for America period.

Sotomayor don't like white men. And ironically quite a few white men are considering her for Supreme Court.....

Well, maybe they can built her a website such as Obama's. It's only going to cost you, the American taxpayer, $18 million to revamp the site. $18 million to redesign an existing website. I am sure once they are twigging it the entire site will cost the taxpayer 36 million.

No she worked in the fields with all the illigal's. That is why she has emphacy. LOL

This was a poorly-written article - I will admit to that. However, I have to agree with the fact that there is nothing in her past that can be brought up against her, so things she said are being taken way out of context. Sorry, it can't be a white's world forever. Pres. Obama is looking for someone qualified, not just someone white.

I found this story to be interesting and true, but if you are not a minority you will not understand, it you do not have an open mind you will not understand. It is logical for people to throw stone and critcize things they know nothing about such is the case with Sotomayor. People are afraid of the unknown, and would much rather go negative than to open up their minds. I think the writer is a good one. Kudos Keli

It is b******* and a dodge to say that you have to be a minority to understand a minority perspective. Well then as a minority you should not be able to criticize old white men because you can't understand their perspective about being pissed off that they have to bust their balls to pay taxes to support someone who doesn't want to work.

This lady scares me!! Anyone in as high of a position as she holds should not be so convicted to share her life experiences. Will she use these experiences to show her bias for major issuse that can inflame the already precarious tolerance for reverse discrimination? Can she see the law as it was intended or will she interpret it through her own eyes? We are well aware of the social constructionists views.

This is an ongoing waste of time and money. She will be confirmed...100%. If the sexual harrassment guy, Judge Thomas can get confirmed then anyone can. Hello!

Qualifications??: the Democrats up for re-election better contemplate a Filibuster because a yes will be a GOP attack ad lumping them with an "Activist" Judge that is outcome based and NOT LITERAL US Constitution based. Ask yourself why Liberals cover up and don't man up to be proud of SotoMayor's positions 1) Anti-Death Penalty 2) Anti-Gun 3) Affirmative Discrimination 4) La Raza RACIST 5) Pro- Abortion 6) Eminent Domain taking Personal Property 7) Incompetent 8) International Law Trumps the U.S.A. Constitution 9) Promises Judicial Policy aka judicial activism 10) Pro Teachers Union 11) NO on English Language Amendment 12) OK for Teaching in Spanish 13) NO School Vouchers; all typical SotoMayor the embodiment of the Liberal Socialist Democrat an extremist elitist Sexist Racist agenda.

I had to read 5 comments before it looked like someone had read the whole story. THAT's the problem with America. We are too anxious to shoot off our mouths/keyboards and less willing to hear/read the opinions of others.

She has a valid point. I think it falls apart, though, in using Girlfriends as an example. I've watched the show many times and it is NO Sex and The City. In fact, it's a poor knock-off of the show. There is a reason it was on UPN/CW instead of HBO or a major network.

The "few conservatives" who are humping Sotomayor's leg related to that quote represent the seething pathological racist misogynist sentiment that one can easily find by scratching many white male conservatives. Just look at how rabidly many of them post here, descending immediately into primitive less socially evolved "Lick and Suck" sexual slurs and such. You can always count on misogynists and racists to descend in a hurry, showing the true hatred and fears behind their hypocritical "Family Vaules", like Sanford or Palin with a one kid so loused up he wound up in jail and another so loused up she got knocked up. Sotomayor having to "convince" the bigots that she is not a bigot is interesting to watch.
