Sessions says Newt and Rush out of line for branding Sotomayor a racist...she was right in describing her background as helping her be a better judge. It was an honest opinion and her being candid was refreshing...but the irony is that when a white male makes similar expressions, he is vilified by the politically correct and the left wing loonies who always play the race card.  Sotomayor was just being honest and to condemn her for that is just a mistake. Its time for the white male to be treated fairly by the left wing.  Sotomayor is just a liberal replacing a liberal on the court.  Obama, as usual is a phony as he supported a filibuster of Alito. Democrats, as usual, are the worst at stereotyping people by race.  They think that all blacks think the same instead of being able to think for themselves and now they put all Latinos in the same pocket as all supporting Sotomayor. Many Latinos may find her liberal ideology in conflict with their own beliefs. In truth, the President deserves an up or down vote on his nomination and deserves to have his nominee approved unless serious acts can be proven to show her unfit.
