"When it Comes to the Interplay Between Race and Gender, We Are Definitely Paralyzed"

We need to thank those who are willing to speak out!

Thanks to all of the brave women that sat on this panel:



Former U.S. Treasurer Bay Buchanan;
National Council of Negro Women's Dr. Avis Jones-DeWeever;
Conservative Commentator Tara Setmayer;
President of The New Agenda, Amy Siskind.

We really do need this kind of exploration if we are going to clear this seemingly insurmountable hurdle. I can vouch for the fact that if one does take the intersection of race and gender on.... the attacks will come from all sides.

Way to go ladies! Let's keep this discussion front and center.

Enough Hormones On the Bench, Already!

Personally, I have had it with all that testosterone. Haven't you? I mean... testosterone is the "anger hormone." And it is also associated with risk taking behaviors.

That is why I am calling for equal representation from the other half of the population. You know, the one that has less testosterone. And a little bit more estrogen. Estrogen, being the hormone of love, can only bring balance to the important decisions made by our highest court.

Just about anything you want to know about Sonia Sotomayor can be found RIGHT HERE.

H/T to Prof. Darren Hutchinson at Dissenting Justice, for doing all the research. If it were not for him, I would know far littler about this Obama appointee. IMO, the MSM ... even it's liberal organs.. are doing a TERRIBLE job of telling us who our next SCOTUS appointee is.

Judge Sotomayor *will* be confirmed, despite their negligence and outright misogyny. She has to be. We just can't take anymore of those out of control "hormones" on the bench.

I'd Rather Not Have To....

Brace myself for the Sotomayor misogyny fest, that is.


Can I climb back in my hole now?

On second thought.... "Go Sonia! Go widowed mother of Sonia!!" We've got your backs!

UPDATE: Two excellent pieces on the subject of the Sonia Sotomayor appointment appear HERE and HERE. H/T to Prof. Hutchinson at "Dissenting Justice."

Here's something worth exploring... (The Sexist, Racist Take-Down of Sotomayor)

"Why is it that Kathleen Sullivan (who famously failed the bar exam) and Elena Kagan (who was an undistinguished student during her first semester of law school) are widely regarded (by Jan Crawford Greenberg, at least) as "brilliant" and smart, while Sonia Sotomayor (a summa cum laude graduate of Princeton and a member of the American Philosophical Society) is derided as an intellectual lightweight? This whole episode makes me sick to my stomach. Unfairly maligning a fair good jurist based on nothing more than gossip and stereotypes..."

Quoted from "Anonymous" in the comments section of Dissenting Justice.

Yes,"Anonymous." It makes me sick too.

Could someone please please help enlighten us about gender/ racial/ and sexual orientation coded standards for the SCOTUS bench?
