She didn't say a Conservative White Male, or a Republican White Male. She didn't say a rich white male, or a white male from a well to do family. She singled out a group based solely on sex and race. You(on the other hand) have used Republican White Males as a group that is privileged. At least you've used something besides sex n' race. You've at least used someone's political outlook. She simply used sex n' race. I think it's too big of a brush for someone to be using if they are going to be considered for a spot on the Supreme Court. I considerate quite odd to want to ignore a comment she made that singled out a group of judges based solely on their sex n' race. I don't know why anybody would want her after reading she said that. Minorities have got to someday get beyond the blame whitey man attitude that she represented quite well in that statement(I consider it to be nothing less than her showing you her subtle racist/sexist view of the world.) I think he should find someone better than that. Plenty of people have lost jobs for these types of public statements. Trying to prop her up shows you're not out for equality or fairness (as you correctly do in the gay marriage issue) in judges, because your willing to overlook the same type of sexist-racist remarks that I'm sure you would find inappropriate for many others to express. It's a double standard. I do not see the immigrant statement made by Judge Sam to be like this. Having some bias towards immigrants is not the same as having a bias against someone of a specific sex and/or race. If you objectively look at this, she shows signs of having bias against white males, and that really should make her unacceptable. I'm sure he can find a Liberal Judge that is much less biased against a specific sex and/or race. No matter the huge effort you put into to denying it, that is a sexist/ racist statement she made. I don't have to overlook it just because she's a Liberal Judge that I would probably agree with on most issues. I see no reason to. Why should I?
