What amazes me is that I heard more about Dick Cheney and the CIA today on channels like MSNBC and CNN than the conformation hearings Fox was the only channel that was really covering it. Are they trying to distract the public?

No! It is however racist to think you can do something better than another person because your skin color is different. Hey now that I think about it Hitler had the same assumption didn't he?!

Sotomayor isn't so much a racist as somebody who over-values and over-extends her own identity.
