Immigration Reform...proposed Arizona Law triggers protests in Los Angeles!

On the heels of an announcement that Arizona is proposing sweeping new Immigration Laws, Immigration Reform advocates took to the streets in Los Angeles yesterday to protest.

The most contentious issue pertains to a policy - that if approved - would allow Law Enforcement to request Immigrants provide proof of their citizenship, legal status, etc.

One spokesperson - a Puerto Rican woman by the name of Ms. Lopez - didn't help the cause any when she uttered up a stupid argument yesterday on behalf of the cause.

It's a ridiculous notion, she adamantly asserted at the rally, in so many words.

"No one carries their legal papers around with them," she angrily shouted

Ah, not true, Miss.

My permanent residency card is tucked inside my wallet right alongside my Driver's License and my Social Security Card.

Also, in many countries around globe, travellers (and residents alike) must provide documents to verify their identity (and legal status) when asked.

Why should Latinos get special treatment?

I do agree with Lopez in one respect, though.

Police Officers (and law enforcement personnel in general) should not stop an individual based on the color of their skin.

That is discriminatory and racist and not accepted in a country where the U.S. Constitution is the law of the land.

However, I am of the mind, that if a Police Officer stops an individual for just cause, that they should be allowed to check ID, legal status, and so forth and so on.

Americans have a right to know who is travelling within their borders.

In the final analysis, the Arizona Immigration Reform proposed, may end of curbing terrorism down the road (in addition to resolving the out-of-control illegal immigrant problem in the United States today).

If Latinos don't like the American way of life, then they should pack up, and go home!

The truth hurts, I know!

Sonia Sotomayor...stupid racist not fit to sit on Supreme Court bench! Smug smirk on face tells alll...

Whoa Nelllie, that bu** looks a little wide for the bench!

A lot of the brouhaha over Sonia Sotomayor's controversial remarks at the confirmation hearings finally died down by the end of the week once her interrogators figured out she was going to be one tough nut to crack.

Oh, she's a piece of work alright.

That smug smirk on her tired old face said it all, in my estimation.

The words were pretty telling, too.

If you recall, the fury was initially triggered on Capitol Hill when Sotomayor - driven by a nasty ego and overblown sense of judicial self-importance - had the audacity to take a swipe at white male members on the bench.

"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 had the experiences," she caustically spat out at one point.

A revealing moment, to say the least.

If anything, Sotomayor is just a dumb racist not fit to warm the bench in the environs of the Supreme Court in Washington, especially given her propensity to put down her Caucasian male colleagues in a deceitful bold-faced effort to raise herself up at their expense!

Notwithstanding, Sotomayor's lack of foresight - and utter inability to anticipate from the get-go that her inappropriate remarks would trigger the furor it did - underscored just how ignorant (thick in the head?) the lady (I use the term loosely) truly is.

Unless, of course, she was just feigning ignorance because of the tight fix she got herself in on the heels of opening up her fat yap without considering the consequences first.

Ultimately, what was her defense?

"It was a failed rhetorical flourish."

Huh?

What a load of bullsh**!

She sure can shovel it, can't she?

If you ask me, Sotomayor was running circles around all those huffy politicians in Washington this past week, playing games with their heads, and what-have-you.

Bottom line?

She made fools of the lot of 'em.

Was it a case of improper wording?

Duh, just a mispeak, dudes!

If so, maybe she should have expressed her "altruistic" thoughts this way, instead.

"I trust that an individual with a richness of experience would have the capacity to reach a better conclusion that one who does not."

Because Sotomayor was instinctively inclined to take a slap at white male jurists underscores that by nature (in her psyche thru-'n-thru and deep down in her taco-filled gut) that she is a racist.

And, I expect, one who may be prone to hold grudges against those who mistreated her highness "up the ranks".

Adversaries, beware!

In one respect, I am inclined to agree with Sotomayor, however.

A Judge shouldn't just follow the "letter of the law" when making Judicial determinations.

After all, the court is supposed to be one of equity.

A Judge who reviews applicable law - but, also applies knowledge and wisdom acquired by virtue of "rich life experience" - is capable of arriving at a decision that is not only legally sound - but one that balances the scales of justice so that it is morally correct, too.

In the case of Sotomayor - well, just betcha - if she lands on the bench she'll have a few axes to grind.

In that event, look out America!

Hell hath no fury like a minority female Judge scorned after a treacherous climb to the top!
