Questions over the fact that President Obama's Supreme Court nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, claims membership in La Raza, which has promoted driver's licenses for illegal aliens, amnesty programs and no immigration law enforcement by state and local police, are spreading, with both CNN and MSNBC featuring discussion of the issue with a severe critic of illegal immigration. WND reported earlier this week when it was confirmed the American Bar Association listed La Raza, which means "the Race," as one of the groups in which Sotomayor is a member. Talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh described Sotomayor as a "racist" based on her statement that she should be able to make better judgments than a white man, not on her La Raza membership. But former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo., took the criticism a step further in his interviews on the two networks. On MSNBC, Tancredo said Sotomayor should be disqualified from the court nomination because of her remarks. A video of his comments is linked here, and is embedded below: youtube.com He said when her actual statements are reviewed, the issue is clear. "If I were to say something like this, 'I think only a white man could judge the law really well. I think a white man could interpret it better than a brown woman,' would that disqualify me? I would think so. I would hope so," he said. Could Mexico retake the southwestern United States? Get the DVD that says the invasion is already happening! Sotomayor's actual statement, made during a 2001 speech at the University of California's Berkeley School of Law, was: "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." It was published the next year in the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal. "It would disqualify anyone else," Tancredo said. On CNN, he described La Raza as a "Latino KKK without the hoods or the nooses," and suggested if a judge belongs to such an organization, something needs to be provided in the way of an explanation "to convince me and a lot of other people that it's got nothing to do with race."
