Barack Hussein Obama believes Sonia Sotomayor is qualified to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States based on her biography and so does the nominee.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion [as a judge] than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” she said in 2001.

Does racism qualify someone to sit at the highest level of the United States judicial system? We think not!

Justice Clarence Thomas is not white, he is male and his experience in life was a struggle that Ms. Sotomayor didn’t experience. Mr. Thomas would probably not agree that his struggle qualifies him to sit at SCOTUS, his legal scholarship does. On the other hand, Ms. Sotomayor lacks the same legal expertise that should be a requirement but Obama only thinks about ideology not substance.

Mr. Obama said last year when Pastor Rick Warren asked him about the Supreme Court:

“I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don’t think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation.”

Obama was referring to Justice Thomas who lost his father, and was raised by his mother in a rural Georgia town, in a shack without running water, until he was sent to his grandfather. The same Justice Thomas who had to work every day after school, though he was not allowed to study at the Savannah Public Library because he was black. The same Justice Thomas who became the first in his family to go to college and receive a law degree from Yale.

Republicans are running scared, they don’t wish to appear too much like a Democrat when vetting nominee Sotomayor. They don’t wish to be called racist or anti-female.

I recently wrote to the GOP and suggested they begin growing a set of testicles and develop some intestinal fortitude. I asked them to stop criticizing Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich since they are only a handful of individuals telling the truth about Sonia Sotomayor. Mark Levin, a legal expert, is also explaining each evening why Sotomayor is unqualified adding that Obama is a dictator unlike any other person who has occupied the White House.

Chuck Schumer has threatened Republicans to tread lightly or “oppose her at their peril.” Really? Mr. Schumer who had this to say about Miguel Estrada, President Bush’s Hispanic nominee the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2002 who came to this country as an immigrant from Honduras:

Mr. Estrada “is like a Stealth missile — with a nose cone — coming out of the right wing’s deepest silo.”

Mr. Schumer ambushed Mr. Estrada in a Senate hearing, smearing him with allegations made by unnamed former associates. The same Mr. Schumer who sat on the Judiciary Committee, where leaked memos later showed that Democrats feared Mr. Estrada would use a position on the D.C. Circuit as a launching pad to become the nation’s . . . first Hispanic Supreme Court judge. Two years later, Mr. Estrada withdrew, after the Democrats waged seven filibusters against a confirmation vote.

The Republicans sit idly by worrying about their next election while they allow the United States moves further into the depths of the Obama hybrid form of Marxism/Fascism.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs responded to Gingrich’s criticism of Sotomayor at Wednesday’s briefing.

“I think it is probably important for anybody involved in this debate to be exceedingly careful with the way in which they’ve decided to describe different aspects of this impending confirmation,” Gibbs said.

It’s not Gibbs or Obama’s business to tell anyone how to express themselves and the Republicans would do their party a service if the refused to play destruction politics and thoroughly vetting Sotomayor and asking all the tough questions.

It’s time to stand up to the Socialists, Marxists, Fascist and hybrids like Obama and let the American people know what Sonia Sotomayor stands for and that activist judges who are racist and don’t believe in the US Constitution don’t belong on the Supreme Court of the United States.

It’s about qualifications. Indeed!
