Sotomayor willing to deny her beliefs under oath

"Judge Sotomayor will get the nod because (a) she’s a Hispanic woman, (b) she believes that being a Hispanic woman makes her more qualified to judge matters than people who aren’t Hispanic women, and (c) she’s prepared to deny under oath that she believes what she believes.

If Judge Sotomayor hadn’t embraced identity politics, it’s unlikely she would have been Barack Obama’s choice. Being a Hispanic woman, while a necessary condition, wouldn’t have been sufficient. Without being the kind of person who holds that a “wise Latina” would reach a better conclusion in a legal dispute than a white male, she wouldn’t have fit the Social Engineer-in-Chief’s agenda of 'change.'"
