You've identified two (2) minorities, period, and one of them hasn't been filibustered yet. From this, you have concluded that the Dems are opposing all conservative minorities, and that they are racist. This may fly in a Federalist Society meeting, but that's about it.

Then why don't they? Why does he have to be an Uncle Tom or sell out or race traitor? Why can't they fight his ideas? I don't think he is mediocre, but I also don't think he is the most brilliant lawyer I've ever seen either, which puts him at the average for SCt judges. O'Connor is no genious and Ginsburg a plain idiot.

What ideas? The man is, justifiably, so afraid of appearing stupid that he won't even ask questions from the bench when he sits on a moot court. And who's calling him an Uncle Tom? I'm not going to
O'Connor and Ginsburg are in a completely different league, although it's curious that you picked the two women on the court as targets. What's your problem with Ginsburg? Of the many things I've heard said about her, that she is a "plain idiot" is not one.

Bull shit. People (or more specifically, DEMS) oppose them because they are beholden to the teachers' unions. Period. And they are hypocritical because a large portion of them wouldn't dream of sending their own kids to public schools. It's a complete fucking joke and within the next 10 years, it will backfire on them. DiFi realizes this and has begun to change her tune. She is one of the smarter ones. The others are behind the curve on this, much like they were behind the curve on welfare reform.

I'm not clairvoyant, and won't attempt to speak for every Democrat in the land, although you seem to have no problem with this. I don't give a sh*t about the teachers unions. I don't think vouchers will improve public schools. There is no reason to think that vouchers work, particularly when the plan only permits a small fraction of students to go to a small number of alternative schools. Vouchers are a wedge issue designed to appeal to middle-class voters who can't quite afford to send their kids to private schools.
DiFi may or may not be smarter, but she does work hard to appeal to swing voters by picking issues like this one. Flag burning is another example.
