I think it's a poor choice. The following statement is unacceptable.

" I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn't lived that life."


I don't care about the legislating from the bench comment. I'm with Zig on that (Majority rule only insures that a backwards society will stay backwards.) You think the majority of people voting in the South wanted to get rid of segregation? No. In California, majority rules has allowed discrimination(based on sex) to remain intact. Her statement above(if she made it) makes her totally unfit to sit on the Supreme Court. OBA should find one that hasn't made an openly racist statement.
