When Sotomayor said, on numerous occasions, that a persons race and sex gave them the ability to make better decisions than those who are of a different race and sex, she should have been thrown off the bench and disbarred. If she had been a white man and made that statement, her career and most likely her personal life would've been over. It's pathetic that the people in this country are allowing this.

Very odd world we live in

He wasn't funny as a comedian, but he sure is funny as a US Senator. Way to go Minnesota. Two for two. Franken & Ventura.
