Cenk Uygur destroys Conservative Attacks on Sonia Sotomayor

The last 24 hours have been filled with an abundant amount of attacks on Supreme Court Nominee Sonia Sotomayor. She has been called "liberal" (uh-oh!), "racist", "radical", "dumb","unqualified", and "a single mother". The last one was on Politico's website, apparently asking whether or she actually has any children would have required investigative reporting. The attacks have nothing to do with her rulings, or that she has been on the bench for 17 years.

The most common of the attacks has been over two quotes of hers, this one “court of appeals is where policy is made.”, which is the only part of you read, but you can hear it here in it's full context. The second, “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,”, so what? Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks does a fine job of debunking the rest of the nonsense being spewed by the right-wing.
