Sotomayor and the race card

The headlines say that Sotomayor is a "reverse racist" or whatever.

Thankfully, somebody actually bothered to look at her record. He concludes that she rejects discrimination-related claims by a margin of at least 8-to-1. Here is an example of one of her dissenting opinions, where she supported a claim of discrimination:

"In Pappas v. Giuliani, 290 F.3d 143 (2002), she dissented from the majority’s holding that the NYPD could fire a white employee for distributing racist materials."


So, you know, it's a little hard to argue that she's all preoccupied with race because she's Hispanic.
