President Barack Obama on Friday personally sought to deflect criticism about
Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor, who finds herself under intensifying scrutiny for saying in 2001 that a female Hispanic judge would often reach a better decision than a white male judge. (
White House: Sotomayor says she chose word poorly - )
"I'm sure she would have restated it," Obama flatly told NBC News, without indicating how he knew that.
(Could this judge be the Bork of the left. I do know that those in the GOP need to be careful when they bring this stuff up but it must be brought up. What if some white male had said a white male would be a are better judge than a female Hispanic. He would be forced to remove his name from being on the high court. It sounds to me like there is a double standard at play here.)
