The U.S. Senate has confirmed that Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in a 68-31 vote is the first Hispanic on the Supreme court, how do you guys feel about that?
I am so happy that Obama picked her, my mom called me in disbelief.

Me I kinda care I kinda don't. Race ha nothing to do with law. Well sometimes it does. But its an accomplishment a Hispanic made that I am proud of. Cheers, woo hoo!

I'm Hispanic (well born in Miami but still) and so is my family (from Cuba to be exact) and my family really cares less about this but I don't know maybe it's because they don't like Obama =p

A woman in America. Not very interesting to non-Yanks.

But quite a big deal as far as American politics goes.

Why is this such a big deal? =/ In the world we live in suprised it didnt happen earlier. Agreed, there are still some dopey twat's who are racist in the world, but in general the UK and America are very acceptle to black, hispanic and asian people. And so it's good that it did happen, but lets not go crazy over it. Obama's already kind of stolen the 'first non white person to get a powerful job' of the year award, so surely that was already proof that no one cares about race any more?

But hey, tis up to you if you feel it's a battle one by 'the hispanic's, and it just as Obama did how far we've come, which is only good :)

Sorry if I'm wrong about it being a big deal I was just from the way you made it sound is like America was having street parties about it.

Well the reason it's a big deal is that it has taken so long to happen. Plus a place on the supreme court is an extremely powerful position. Imagine the fuss about the first Hispanic president. Well this isn't as big as that, but it's still pretty important for a country that does still have significant problems relating to race, even if many of them are historical

It's not meant to be. It's a parody of the not funny racist jokes that will inevitable creep up around the appointment.

You guys don't get it. Like said in my first post (Well forkboy got it) Its not about race cu it has nothing to do with law. But its just celebration of a big accomplishment made by hispanic, That's all.
