Judge Sotomayor, I have to tell you this: [View All]

[Raven]

I am bursting with pride.
I am thrilled that an intellect like yours could prevail
I am satisfied that a woman could run circles around some of these men
I am comforted that a woman like you will be deciding my future
I am so damn proud of you and your patience and self restraint in the face of these racists...

I wish you well and a very, very long tenure on the bench of our most important court.

You are cool under fire, disciplined, intelligent...brilliant, welcome and thank you for going through this awful vetting by small men who can't hold a candle to you.

I am thrilled for you... you are where you should be and I am just so proud for you and your Mother.

I hope there is a family dinner tonight and that your Mom gets to tell you how well you did in the face of these awful men and how proud she is of you.

What a triumph.
