The repuke attack on Sotomayor comes sharply into focus
There's a subtext to it that's really ugly. She's being attacked not only on her ethnicity but also on her gender by the puke senators. She's too emotional is a consistent subtext to the remarks so far. But the repukes aren't only focused on slamming Sotomayor to the best of their abilities, they're also determined to try and inflict damage on Obama.

It's only day 1. it'll get really ugly starting tomorrow.

2. I am glad you said this because....
...I also was getting a VERY strong underlying agenda of the MALE RE Repukes ~~ women should not be on the highest bench.

I thought maybe I was just over sensitive because I am a female atty ~~ but the more I listen, the more it is clearly their opinion: Women think with their ovaries.

Geeeeeez, when is shit like this gonna end? :eyes:

5. no, you weren't being in the least bit overly sensitive
it couldn't be clearer that there's a very ugly undercurrent of sexism being purveyed by the repuke men- and they are all men.

3. I'm sure she knew this was coming.
And she's ready for it.

She is one smart, tough lady...

Sit tight. And don't worry!

9. Exactly
It's not so much that she's Hispanic. It's the fact that she is an Hispanic FEMALE.

12. I should be outraged
But I'm not.

Nor should any of you, as you watch Obama get 75%-80% of the Hispanic vote in 2012.
