Sonia Sotomayor: We Could Have Done Better

Newly confirmed Justice Sonia Sotomayor is a Hispanic. She looks like a field hand through no fault of her own. But she favors low class people by choice and identification. Not all Hispanics look like field hands. On the contrary they can be extremely handsome. Not all Hispanics favor low class people.

We could have done much better. It's time to upgrade the population rather than be defined by the latest off- the- wall, odd- ball special interest. And this includes retrofitting our out dated notions of obligation and equality.
