Focus on Race Issues May Be Hurdle

Robert Stolarik for The New York Times - Conservatives say Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s race-based approach to the law is grounds for her to not be a Supreme Court justice.







Right wingers are hammering at this issue, of their own creation, to drive a wedge between Obama and the public.

Some of the words I've heard about this nominee are incredible. Yesterday, on Hardabll (on MSNBC), former Representative Tom Tancredo likened, no, equated, the National Council of La Raza to the KKK. Yup. He said it is a KKK without hoods. Rush Limbaugh said, speaking of Judge Sotomayor, that he can't believe the President nominated, and the Democratic Party supports Sotomayor, equating her with David Duke.
