Life Story? I have a life story, too. Why not nominate me?

Sonia Sotomayor, she's got a story. Big Deal.

Pursuit of Happyness. Great Life Story.
Ray Charles. Great Life Story.
Elvis Presley. Great Life Story.

Hers is a story. Not a great life story. It's just the story of an individual that should actually appreciate the country in which we live and the rights and opportunities that are already provided to everyone that is willing to work for them, not work to negate the system and tructure that got them to where they are.

The sad, but true, aspect is that single parents working after the death or split of the other is not something special. Growing up in a bad neighborhood and getting out? It's been done by both scholars and athletes.

My story should be a great life story. Middle class parents that are still together and mom's still working because they can't afford to retire. Spent summers as a kid learning to work and help out on my grandparents farm. Starting working when I was 15 to have spending money (there was no allowance, I was expected to help take care of the house). Worked my way through college and then have worked my way into the position that I am in today. (Notice the key word- WORKED, not appointed)

So what is this rubber stamped nominee going to give us?

60% of appeals overturned. (I know, there were a lot more cases she handled on the state level, but there are only a limited amount that the US Supreme Court can take on each year.)

Judges make policy? Last time I read my constitution, the judicial branch was just to make sure that laws were valid and in the favor of the American People, not what they FELT was important.

It's not alright to be racist, but it is alright to tell "white males" (which by her own words she is better and wiser than) that they are in the wrong for wanting the promotions that they should have received based on the established testing that had been in place for previous promotions.

And read for yourself about the 2nd Amendment.

Let's just hope that the people wake up and realize that not approving her is not about being a Latino woman. It's about the negative impact that she will have to the future of this country.
