Sonia Sotomayor needs to publically apologize for the comments she made in 2001. If her words are simply being taken out of context, why doesn't she come forward and deal with it immediately? Moreso, if she wants to clarify them it should be done in a public session, not in the simple release of statement.
Despite the fact that many are over-hyping her appointment as a "historical first," Sotomayor is not actually the first Latino Supreme Court Justice. The first Supreme Court Justice of Latino heritage was Benjamin N. Cardozo, a Jewish man of Iberrian heritage. He was appointed in 1932 by Republican President Herbert Hoover. Cardozo was one of the greatest Supreme Court Justices, and was universally admired during his tenure by both Republicans and Democrats, something that a political indivisive figure like Sotomayor can never achieve. The single greatest thing that Herbert Hoover probably ever did as president was appoint such a noble and talented man to America's greatest court. Let's be honest, the failings of Herbert Hoover's term in office makes Bill Clinton look like Abraham Lincoln!

We completely agree with your sentiments, and really like your cartoon. It's a huge shame that the left cannot acknowledge that Mrs. Sotomayor is racist for her statements.
