Word to the Wise

One other point about Sotomayor's comment: it illustrates the extent to which the logic of racial/ethnic identity politics can cause people to say or think things they would clearly recognize as racist in other contexts. If changing the words "Latina" and "white man" around would change your view of the sentence, then perhaps it is time to examine some of your assumptions.

amidst this desiderata, it should come to mind about this nominee what other commentators have relayed concerning justice holmes' who when cheered on to do justice in a certain matter remarked that he was not here to do justice but to apply the law! sort of the difference between lightening and lightening bug!
