No peeking, Justice Sotomayor











At 11:03 this morning, I heard the following:

I Sonya Sotomayor do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons and do equal right to the poor and to the rich and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States under the Constitution and laws of the United States so help me God.

I wish you well, Madam Justice. But you will forgive my scepticism. Your song and dance in the Senate confirmation don't necessarily negate your years of rulings.

And I will always return to thoughts of my mom- born in NYC to immigrant parents. She was not, nor ever called a minority. yet you Madam, born in New York to American parents, are a minority. So... odd.
