When Alito said his Italian heritage influences his judicial decisions, did that make him a racist?
There is no comparison, he did not say his Italian heritage influences his decisions. This is what he said. “Alito stated that the stories his father told him about being discriminated against for his nationality and Catholic religion and about having to build a comfortable life from humble beginnings had made him more disposed to treat everyone who came before him with respect.
Well I read your link and that’s not quite what was said, his comments were not As an Italian American male I would make better decision then others. Basically Sotomayor has many of the same issues that Bush nominees had that Obama said at the time disqualified them…I just wish a Dem would tell the TRUTH and come out and say the real reason why or why not they are for or against someone. At least the Rep seem to say we thing you will judge cases based on your personal beliefs and not the law…
