Sotomayor Should Have the Right to be in a "Women Only" Club

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 16 Jun 09

Sotomayor made same comment in 1994 as 2001

AnjaP @Rollo1 (16676) • Boston, Massachusetts 4 Jun 09

Well, now we know that Judge Sotomayor's comments in 2001 about making better judgements than a man were not just a bad choice of words. She said nearly the same thing in 1994, which means that Obama is wrong that she probably...

Sotomayor rates an "F"

redyellowblackdog @redyellowblackdog (10629) • United States 27 May 09
