Our Wise Latina Justice Sonia Sotomayor Defends Trump

In the recent brouhaha about Donald Trump's complaint that a La Raza advocate is overseeing a trial in which Trump is the defendent, here's what Justice Sonia Sotomayor had to about judicial impartiality.

This wasn’t the only thing Ms. Sotomayor said, though.

She also held that “our experiences as women and people of color affect our decisions.”

And: The “aspiration to impartiality ... denies the fact that we are by our experiences making different choices than others.”

And: “Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences ... our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”

And: “We may have different perspectives, either as some theorists suggest because of our cultural experiences or as others postulate because we have basic differences in logic and reasoning.”

And: “A difference there will be by the presence of women and people of color on the bench. Personal experiences affect the facts that judges choose to see.”

And a lot more along those same lines.
