Viva la Latina! Viva la Latina!

From the beginning, I thought the detractors of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor played it completely wrong.

Before executing a game plan, it’s advisable to assess the likelihood of the desired outcome. Is the desired outcome achievable? If not, then why pursue a game plan for something unachievable?

As soon as President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor for the United States Supreme Court the Republicans should have asked: Can we stop her? Well, I think the answer should have immediately come back “no”. So, if you can’t stop her, maximize your hand by supporting her.

The immediate response by all Republicans in Congress should have been immediate praise and support.

Immediate support would:

1. Give the Republicans all the cover they would need (if liberal extremists didn't control the media) when President Obama makes his second Supreme Court nomination, the confirmation of which could change the balance of the Court. By supporting Sotomayor, Republicans would have a track record of not being reflexively non-supportive. The Sotomayor confirmation does not change the general balance of the Court so why spend capital on something you cannot stop? Instead, benefit from supporting that which you cannot stop.

2. Give the Republicans the opportunity to pander to the ugly ethnicists who apparently heavily dominate the Latino community . . . if you believe all the “news” reports by the liberal extremists who control the media and who amazingly found 1,479 bona fide Latino or Hispanic American groups that issued a press release supporting their unconditional support for the Latina Sotomayor.

3. Allow Republicans to plant a bigger seed of doubt in the minds of Democrats than already exists. Suppose Sotomayor is a pro-lifer? Only two cases have surfaced where Sotomayor brushed against the abortion topic and in both cases she sided with what would be described as the “pro-life” position. On the day of the nomination, the National Organization of Pro-Abortion Women and Planned Childlessness each issued supportive statements. Since then, bupkuss. Where are these organizations in this fight? Yes, maybe they’re keeping their powder dry while the hate-mongers and race-baiters in the Democratic Party run their ugly propaganda operation but maybe they have no powder. Maybe they are suspicious of this nominee’s pro-life markers. Republican support should be a daily watering of these seeds.

As I’ve written here a few times, according to the Centers for Disease Control, African-Americans abort pregnancies at more than three times the rate as whites across all age groups. Maybe, just maybe, President Obama is sickened by this slaughter of innocent, unborn, black, blood. Just maybe, he is allowing himself to be “fooled” by Sotomayor. He gets no grief from the pro-abortion zealots in the nomination/confirmation faze and he is willing to face their Bush/Souter-esque vitriol when Sotomayor sides with four other Justices who do not see a Constitutional right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution.

My advice to all Republicans who come in contact with any liberal extremist, Democrat, or pro-abortion zealot, is let them know you support Sotomayor. And make sure you let them know you think she is pro-life. Viva la Latina! Viva la Latina!

The greatest Supreme Court nomination theater in the history of the United States occurs if Sotomayor is out-ed as a confirmed pro-lifer (in the sense she does not see a Constitutional right) prior to confirmation hearings. I can only hope. What do the hate-mongers and race-baiters in the Democratic Party do then?

Again, I’m disappointed that nobody called me on my repeated use of the phrase, “sickly Latina”. I, of course, was mocking the liberal extremists who control the media who felt they had to constantly remind us that Sotomayor was diagnosed with diabetes at age 9. Go to the American Diabetes Association web site and read that site's assessment of diabetes as it affects women. When appropriate I’ll continue to refer to her as such. But today . . .

Viva la Latina!
