Continued Dumbing Down of America

The confirmation hearing for the appointment to the US Supreme Court is now underway for Sonia Sotomayor, special needs case for the supreme court. Yeah, I know that may sound harsh but if one looks into her past you will find several instances of times that she would not be where she were if it were not for the stepping over of more qualified candidates simple for the fact that she was not only female but also Hispanic.

Now I don't wish to imply that I am against neither females nor Hispanics nor any other minority, I am simply for what is right. And what is right is for the best person to get whatever job is applied for. I could care less about what gender or race the most well qualified candidate is from as long as they are well qualified.

Just the fact that one of her most controversial rulings (RICCI ET AL. v. DESTEFANO) just got overturned by the US Supreme Court and that her justification for that original decision be enough to disqualify her.

Now it is complete, from kindergarten all the way up to the US Supreme Court, we pass people into the next grade so as not to hurt someones or some minority groups feelings. If we choose not to allow people, starting with children, to fail then we ultimately take away their innate ability to rise from future failures. Now with the soon-to-be confirmation of Sonia Sotomayor, cases will be decided not based on law but on "how others might feel" about the outcome. Her own words laid out in various statements she has made over the years.

Our only savings grace is that she replaces another liberal. As such, the make up of the court remains the same. Heaven help us if on of the few constitutional scholars on the court retires or dies while BHO is still our president.
