Affirmative action is how she got on the Supreme court too. And she seems to be proud or it! The arrogant stupidity runs deep in that one.

The lady apparently thinks she is underappreciated.But given her background she has done excellently.She should be proud of herself.At the same time, she should be realistic about how she happened to be on the Supreme Court.

So basically, as the smartest, most ardent, merited students were systematically deprived of their rightful educational opportunities, the whole of the hoodwinked country too was disenfranchised by Princeton's wrongheaded, twisted, admittance policies. Think about it, these policies ARE NOT VICTIMLESS; all, everyone, on one level or another are turned into victims. The incalculable harm and damage to this country and society as a whole, having been deprived of the merits and talents of the best and brightest, to the harm and longterm damage/undermining of the races, the Caucasians -- Asians too -- who have been enumerably disenfranchised by these twisted policies, and the non-Caucasion (yes, I am one myself), who will be/are viscerally inculcated that the only way they can make it in society is through bending of the rules and government/institutional stamp of "special" status. Tragic, really, but it's been effectively camouflaged.

Affirmative Action played a role in the lives of my family as well; my dad was NYPD and took the Sargent's exam after 17 years...though qualified he lost out on the promotion to lesser qualified individuals who had half the job experience compared to my dad and received half the grade on the Sargent's exam compared to my dad...the only reason my dad did not get the promotion and lost out to lesser qualified individuals was he was white and those he got the promotion were not....

sort of like the New Haven firefighters who racist Satomayor ruled against only to have it overturned by the Supreme Court she now sits on...wonder if they will bring that case up in the 60 Minutes piece...

The lady knows very well why she was nominated to the court.

In this country, white folks are no longer the majority........so affirmative action is absolutely no longer a valid process.

Now admissions should only be about qualifications. Let them all stand on their own academic record, and let them all have to compete equally for funding.

i say keep affirmative action on the books, because if it was up to most people of caucasion color, because people outside those rims would still be washing their dishes, raising their children, and cleaning their homes, etc.

Sotomayor, a rubber stamp for the Marxist.
