<<<The point for me is unequal treatment, not hurt. >>>

If you could get rid of all the nut jobs off the SC, at best, you would probably get agreement 95% of time. That is why we still have a SC. Otherwise, you could replace the SC with a computer.

Your view of equal treatment, like everyone else's, comes out of your life experiences. Most people, you, me, and I suspect, nearly everyone on this thread has life experience that is relatively narrow. We were born into a social class and more or less stayed within those narrows boundaries.

Sonia Sotamayor has gone from living in an inner city housing project with a single mother to the halls of Ivy and way beyond. I think her life experiences are far richer than ours. I think her judgement, everything else being equal (which they aren't) have far more validity.
