The Washington Post says the 28 GOP Senators voting against Sotomayor run the risk of alienating Hispanic voters — I say good for them.

The Republican party should leave the identity politics to the left. Sonia Sotomayor’s judicial philosophy is not appropriate for the highest court in the land. Moreover, she’s just not that bright.

Republicans who allow Sotomayor’s gender and ethnicity to influence their vote are a disgrace. The SCOTUS should be reserved for the best and brightest our country has to offer regardless of their gender or ethnicity.

The left pretends to be so race conscious while at the same time using race as a basis for making pretty much every decision.

The best way to create racial harmony is to ignore race and promote the best qualified people to do the job.

Liberals automatically assume that America’s Hispanic population will be angry at the GOP’s rejection of Sotomayor, which is itself a racist conclusion to come to.

It’s reminiscent of Barbara Boxer’s assumption that all black people support her phony global warming theories and her cap and tax plan.

Anyone who thinks the GOP is voting against Sotomayor because she’s a woman or a Latina is a nut and doesn’t belong in the Republican party anyway.

The idea that certain people should be automatically supported because of their gender or ethnicity is just another form of racism and Republicans should have nothing to do with it.
