Moment of truth ( POLITICAL, THAT IS) at the IRONIC POST

[ac]

NYT: "Justice Sotomayor’s memoir is unusually frank by the standards of what government officials typically write."

AND THEN POPULAR COMMENT

"Allan H.New York, NY..By all accounts, Ms. Sotomayor is a good but hardly distinguished judge. We only know her name because she belongs to a popular ethnic group with powerful influence on Democratic politicians.

It is shameful that the Times panders to popular minorities (black, hispanic) while disregarding unpopular ones (Polish, Jews, Italians, non-hispanic Catholics of all sorts). The Supreme Court for many years has had a small number of Jewish, Italian and other minorities, many of whom suffered eveyr bit as much poverty and discrimination as Sotomayer. The only differences are that (1), jews, Italians etc. are not popular and (2) Jews, Italian and others made it on their own merit without affirmative actions, as did Sotomayor.

This division of Americans into popular minorities and "uninteresting minorities (ie everyoen who is from an ethnica grup that isnt black or hispanic) is tawdry and disrespectful of the millions of Americans who have suffered every bit as much as Sotomayor and accomplished as much or more than she, but without the boost of affirmative action d/b/a discrimination by race."

AND THAT IS NOT ALL : WE, 'ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN', HEAD ON SUNDAY
THAT ALL THE PROFETS OF TRUTH WERE EVENTUALLY DEAD.
