Seventeen years. That was seventeen years in decision making and what does Jeff Sessions and Lindsay Graham focus on? One sentence made, NOT IN A COURT ROOM, but in a classroom.
Two centuries of White Male Oppression of the American populous, including the past eight years of nothing but exploitation of the fiscal systems of the USA and what did the White Guys 'pull' yesterday? A political stunt and nothing more.
Yesterday, Sessions and Graham, among others, attempted to create a 'Wedge Issue.' A political wedge issue. They took one sentence spoken years ago to a group of legal students and handed the 'simpletons' of the Republican electorate a 'bone to gnaw on.' One that would last clean on through 2010 to create 'doubt' in the 'militant' administration in the White House. Militant per the Republicans that oppose EVERY measure of the Obama/Biden Administration.
Their focus and loathing of Judge Sonia Sotomayor was nothing but a racial slur to the justice the Judicial Committee was supposed to conduct, yesterday. When a 'political wedge' issue takes shape based on racial bias it adds nothing but bigotry to the 'conversations' of the electorate. Today, across the Republican media there are statements about 'reverse discrimination.' The White Guys are attempting a coup against Affirmative Action and Women's Rights.
If Lindsay Graham ever made a statement that indictated he was superior to a Latina woman he would make headlines and would be scrutinized. Why? Because over 200 years of oppression of women and minorities as 'chattel' requires justice.
Sen. Lindsey Graham has told Sotomayor that she would be confirmed "unless you have a complete meltdown." (click here)
So, what did the White Man try to do? He tried to get Judge Sotomayor to meltdown. Cry. Beg. Plead for mercy. While he 'rolled the dice' on a wedge issue. Bigot. Definately a bigot. For the 'permission' his statements gave his constituency to 'carry on' as usual, he is a definative bigot.
