A quick note to Inhofe and Smith on Sotomayor's "bias"

[Kelvin Mace]

"Of primary concern to me is whether or not Judge Sotomayor follows the proper role of judges and refrains from legislating from the bench. Some of her recent comments on this matter have given me cause for great concern. In the months ahead, it will be important for those of us in the U.S. Senate to weigh her qualifications and character as well as her ability to rule fairly without undue influence from her own personal race, gender, or political preferences."

- Jim Inhofe

Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, in a written statement, said Tuesday he's concerned Sotomayor has shown "personal bias based on ethnicity and gender."

I can answer your "conern" about Sotomayor being influenced by her gender and ethnicity in two words:

Clarence Thomas.

'nuff said.

P.S. - Actually one more thing: Shove it, you bigoted choads!

1. "...without undue influence..." is the key. Everyone brings some degree of

personal bias to many decisions they make. Good or bad, it's part of being human. She will be no exception.
