If the Law is reason free from passion, why is Sotomayor a viable candidate?
Justice Thomas, a leading proponent of this jurisprudence, writes: “In order to be a judge, a person must attempt to exorcise himself or herself of the passions, thoughts, and emotions that fill any frail human being. He must become almost pure, in the way fire purifies metal, before he can decide a case.”
The new court nominee ignores the law in favor of her passions. In fact, she claims that "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
The judgements passed should revolve around the law. DeTocqueville observed that part of America's strength lay in the fact that "In America, the law is king". No other nation has ever done as well at ensconcing that ideal. Don't let Sotomayor unwravel that. Write your representatives and tell her she is unacceptable.
