Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor rages that colleagues are conservative
Supreme Court Justice Sonia “Wise Latina” Sotomayor once was explicit that she values feelings over the law. She is discovering to her chagrin that this approach does not work when a majority of Justices believe in the Constitution. On Friday, her frustration erupted in an angry dissent attacking her colleagues for partisanship.
In 2009, Sotomayor gave a speech trumpeting life experience rather than the Constitution and the law as her guiding judicial principles:
Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O'Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.
Sotomayor disavowed the speech during her nomination hearing. Nevertheless, her a navel-gazing analysis was at the forefront when she wrote a dissent accusing her strict constructionist Supreme Court colleagues of improperly favoring the Trump administration.
To understand her dissent, you need to know about a January concurrence from Justice Gorsuch. Gorsuch wrote a strong rebuke to lower courts that have routinely issued blanket injunctions against the Trump administration, rather than limiting themselves to the parties before them:
But when a court goes further than that, ordering the government to take (or not take) some action with respect to those who are strangers to the suit, it is hard to see how the court could still be acting in the judicial role of resolving cases and controversies. Injunctions like these thus raise serious questions about the scope of courts' equitable powers under Article III.
Given Gorsuch’s powerful Article III argument against overly-broad injunctions, it’s appropriate that, in Wolf v. Cook County, the Supreme Court stayed a state-wide preliminary injunction in a case challenging the Trump administration’s new rules refusing admission to immigrants likely to be “public charges.” (Under the old rule, only cash payments were public charges; under the new rule, all public benefits are public charges.)
Cook County challenged the rule change and the lower court, rather than issuing an injunction as to Cook County, issued the injunction to cover all of Illinois. The government sought to stay the injunction and the Supreme Court agreed.
Sotomayor’s dissent angrily said courts have always been able to issue nationwide injunctions and it’s unfair to reverse that practice. It’s really unfair when the injunction applies only to one State. And it’s super unfair when the appellate court will hear the matter within a short time and the government doesn’t make a good substantive argument. And the worst thing of all is that the policy “benefited one litigant over all others” – i.e., the Trump administration that has for years now been at the mercy of every two-bit “resistance” district court judge.
By contrast, said Sotomayor, the Court often refuses to issue stays of executions, even though the harm of a wrongful execution really is irremediable. In this regard, she misses that the Article III argument that Gorsuch advanced to stop global injunctions is inapplicable when a single petitioner’s case is at issue. Hers is an apples and oranges argument. The principle that the Court’s majority advanced in Wolf is that lower courts have authority only over the case before them, which is always the case with an individual's execution. End of story.
Although Sotomayor’s dissent was foolish and poorly written, it was a battle cry to Slate Magazine:
Put simply: When some of the most despised and powerless among us ask the Supreme Court to spare their lives, the conservative justices turn a cold shoulder. When the Trump administration demands permission to implement some cruel, nativist, and potentially unlawful immigration restrictions, the conservatives bend over backward to give it everything it wants. There is nothing “fair and balanced” about the court’s double standard that favors the government over everyone else. And, as Sotomayor implies, this flagrant bias creates the disturbing impression that the Trump administration has a majority of the court in its pocket.
Article III Supreme Court justices following the Constitution. Wise Latinas and leftist online writers delve deep into victim politics and Trump Derangement Syndrome. In November, think very carefully whether you want more justices like Gorsuch on the Court, in which case you must vote for Trump, or more justices like Sotomayor, which is what a Bernie presidency promises.

CRONIES GET RICH OFF MIGRANT KIDS

“More
than one million immigrants have been deported since President Obama took
office,” the 2011 PBS “Frontline” Lost in Detention contended. “Under
his administration, deportations and detentions have reached record levels. The
get-tough policy has brought complaints of abuse and harsh treatment, including
charges that families have been unfairly separated after being caught in the
nationwide dragnet.”
As
Cecilia Muñoz, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs explained,
“Even if the immigration law is executed with perfection, there will be parents
separated from their children.” As it turns out, that separation policy was
intentional, and the Obama administration deployed it to enrich cronies.
“Texas-based
Southwest Key Programs has taken in roughly $1 billion in federal contracts
since the Obama administration,” Fox News reports, “and is expected to
receive about $500 million this year to house and provide services for
immigrant children.” Southwest Key holds a total of “more than 5,000 immigrant
children, about 10 percent of whom are said to have been separated from their
families since May, when the new policy was announced. Its shelters for
immigrants minors are in Texas, Arizona and California.”
Southwest
Key Programs also operates “the largest licensed shelter for immigrant children
in the United States. A 250,000-square-foot facility at a former WalMart
superstore in Brownsville, Texas, today houses some 1,500 boys between the ages
of 10 and 17 who illegally entered the U.S.”
According
to a report by Drew Griffin of CNN, Southwest Key operates 83 detention centers
across the country and has pulled in $1.5 billion in federal contracts. Southwest Key boss Juan
Sanchez bags a cool $1.47 million a year “which makes him one of the highest
paid charity CEOs in the country.” Mark Owen of the IRS told CNN Sanchez’s
salary “extraordinarily high” and Sanchez’s wife grabs a salary of
$262,000. The Southwest Key website does not feature
management salary information.
KXAN of Austin reports that Southwest Key
has received $995 million in federal funds since 2015. Over a three-year
period, Southwest Key had “more than 200 violations at its facilities,”
including a resident failing to receive proper care for a sexually
transmitted disease (STD).
BLOG:
CECILIA MUNOZ OPERATED LA RAZA OUT OF THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE!
Southwest
Key boss Juan Sanchez served on the board of National Council of La Raza
(NCLR), where Cecilia Muñoz served as senior vice president and immigration
analyst before POTUS 44 tapped her for the White House job. Southwest Key
board member Anselmo Villarreal was also on the National Council of La
Raza board from 2006 to 2012.
He
now runs La Casa de Esperanza, which provides services to immigrants at
locations nationwide. As Fox reports, “Villarreal has taken high-profile
positions against Trump immigration policies, and last month participated in a
march against a Wisconsin county’s plans to work with federal immigration
officials.”
“La
Raza was at the forefront of fighting for many issues of importance to
Hispanics,” Fox News explains. “But it was also long criticized by those who
charge that it is racist, and sympathetic to separatist ideology. The group
rebranded, and changed its name in 2017 to UnidosUS.” Despite the name change,
racism remains.
The
primary source is La Raza Cosmica, by Mexican
education minister and presidential candidate Jose Vasconcelos, republished in 1979 by
the “Chicano Studies” department at Cal State LA. According to Vasconcelos,
students from English, Dutch and Scandinavian backgrounds are “slower, almost
dull,” compared to “mestizo children and youths from the south.” No scores but
it’s something “any teacher can corroborate.”
Blacks
are “uglier stocks” and part of the “inferior races.” Halle Berry and Ben
Carson might want to call their office. The Mongol, “with the mystery of his
slanted eyes,” is part of an “exhausted people” that lacks the “boldness for
new enterprises.” Apparently Xi Jinping and Shinzo Abe never got the memo.
On
the other hand, according to La Raza Cosmica, the fusion of
Spaniards and Indians is a new race “infinitely superior to all that have
previously existed.” That is the raza replacing those awful
Yankee “Anglo-Saxons,” code for all non-raza peoples who speak
English. The non-raza Yankees “are gradually becoming more a part
of yesterday.”
Mexican
American communist Bert Corona found The Cosmic Race similar
to “the kind of German racial superiority theory supported by Hitler.” Even
so, razaismo is the driving force of current efforts to
violate the border and colonize the United States.
Consider,
for example, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, former mayor of Mexico City and
candidate for president in Mexico’s July 1 election. As the New York Times, explains, “Manuel López Obrador’s
victory seems inevitable.” The only question is “the size of his victory.”
Sure-fire
winner Obrador calls mass immigration to the
United States a “human right” and says migrants “must leave their towns
and find a life in the United States.” This razaista wants
his lebensraum and he wants it right now.
If
Obrador wins, President Trump might get him up to speed on America’s experience
with regimes like that. And he might broach the subject of the $26.1 billion in
remittances, an amount impossible without the bilking of American taxpayers
on a massive scale.
Whoever
wins, the migrants will be coming in force and the Mexican colonialists will
find many collaborators among leftist Democrats, the establishment media, and the crony razaists
ripping off kids and American taxpayers alike.
MEXICANS ARE THE MOST VIOLENT AND RACIST OF WESTERN CULTURES!
“A recent Pew poll indicated that a very large percentage of
Americans of Mexican descent regard themselves as Mexicans. Not
Mexican-Americans, not American-Mexicans. Just Mexicans.”
“In Mexico, a recent Zogby poll declared that the vast
majority of Mexican citizens hate Americans. [22.2] Mexico is a country
saturated with racism, yet in denial, having never endured the social
development of a Civil Rights movement like in the US--Blacks are harshly
treated while foreign Whites are often seen as the enemy. [22.3] In fact,
racism as workplace discrimination can be seen across the US anywhere the
illegal alien Latino works--the vast majority of the workforce is usually
strictly Latino, excluding Blacks, Whites, Asians, and others.”
Just over half, 54 percent, say it is important that they
change to assimilate into society, yet about two-thirds, 66 percent, say Latinos
should maintain their distinct culture.
THIS IS LA RAZA:
The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is not only one of the
wealthiest and most politically powerful militant organizations in the country,
it is also notoriously racist and subversive. The group's name, "La
Raza," means "The Race," by which they are referring to ethnic
Mexicans, or more broadly to "hispanics" or "latinos." And
it is quite clear from their decades of vitriolic rhetoric — both spoken and
written — that the La Raza activists are trying to engender not only race
consciousness amongst hispanic U.S. citizens and Mexican migrants, but also
racial militancy and animosity toward "Gringo America."
The NCLR grew out of the La Raza Unida (The Race United)
Party and the Southwest Council of La Raza in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
The key leaders were Marxist-Leninist followers of Fidel Castro and Che
Guevarra.
In 1970, the California Senate Fact-Finding Subcommittee on
Un-American Activities said this about La Raza Unida: "Its president is
Maclovio Barraza. Mr. Barraza has been identified by the Subversive Activities
Control Board as a member of the Communist Party, and presides over the Council
which recently received a grant of $1,300,000 from the Ford Foundation."
Maclovio Barraza was the NCLR Board of Directors' founding
Chairperson, and the NCLR continues to honor this hardcore Marxist by awarding
the Moclavio Barraza Award to its top activist each year.
One of the early founders of La Raza was Professor Jose Angel
Gutierrez, whose violent, extremist rhetoric has caused NCLR some public
relations problems. Back in 1969, Gutierrez said: "We have got to
eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is if the worst comes to the
worst, we have got to kill him." He has continued to promote the same
hateful "reconquista" ideology ever since. But that didn't stop NCLR
from bestowing on him their "Hero Award" in 1994.
The radical student group MEChA (Moviemento Estudiantil
Chicano de Aztlan), with which NCLR has been closely allied for several
decades, is even more explicitly and militantly, having adopted the slogan,
"Por La Raza Todo, Fuera de La Raza Nada," which translated means:
"For the Race, Everything; Outside the Race, Nothing."
MEChA's founding documents and literature are replete with
appeals to "La Raza de Bronce" (The Bronze Race) and condemnation of
the "brutal gringo." MEChA, as its name suggests, is also a leading
promoter of the radical "reconquista" (reconquest) movement, a plan
of to take over the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and
Texas — a region they refer to as "Aztlan" — which they claim was
stolen from the "Aztecan" peoples. NCLR provides major financial
support to MEChA and many of NCLR's leaders were MEChA leaders in their college
days.
NCLR: Agents for the Government of Mexico?
Especially troubling is NCLR's leading role in the Fundacion
Solidaridad Mexicano Americana (Foundation for Mexican-American Solidarity,
FSMA), an organization founded and funded by the government of Mexico and
directed by the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Public
Education. Both of these ministries have been engaged in efforts aimed at
demanding full political rights for illegal aliens in the U.S. and
indoctrinating America's Hispanic population in radical, racist La Raza
ideology.
Top members of La Raza, MALDEF, the National Immigration
Forum and other leading immigration activist organizations also serve on the
Council of the FSMA. As such, they are acting as agents for a foreign power
that is actively seeking to influence our national, state, and local laws and
policies, in ways that are inimical to the interests of our nation and our
citizens. NCLR and these other participating groups should be investigated by
Congress to determine if they are breaking any laws, especially since these
organizations and/or their affiliates not only enjoy tax-exempt status, but
even receive millions of dollars from federal and state government agencies.*
"This is country belongs to Mexico" is said by the
Mexican Militant. This is a common teaching that the U.S. is really AZTLAN,
belonging to Mexicans, which is taught to Mexican kids in Arizona and
California through a LA Raza educational program funded by American Tax Payers
via President Obama, when he gave LA RAZA $800,000.00 in March of 2009!

What will America stand for in 2050?
The US should think long and hard about the high number of
Latino immigrants.
By Lawrence Harrison
President Obama has encouraged Americans to start laying a
new foundation for the country – on a number of fronts. He has stressed that
we'll need to have the courage to make some hard choices. One of those hard
choices is how to handle immigration. The US must get serious about the tide of
legal and illegal immigrants, above all from Latin America.
It's not just a short-run issue of immigrants competing with
citizens for jobs as unemployment approaches 10 percent or the number of
uninsured straining the quality of healthcare. Heavy immigration from Latin
America threatens our cohesiveness as a nation.
The political realities of the rapidly growing Latino
population are such that Mr. Obama may be the last president who can avert the
permanent, vast underclass implied by the current Census Bureau projection for
2050.
Heather Mac Donald: OBAMA’S
SABOTAGE of HOMELAND SECURITY
“The watchdogs
at Judicial Watch discovered documents that reveal how the Obama
administration's close coordination with the Mexican government entices
Mexicans to hop over the fence and on to the American dole.” Washington
Times
The “zero tolerance” program was dismantled by Attorney
General Erc Holder once it had successfully cut the transit of
migrants by roughly 95 percent. Initially, officials made 140,000 arrests per
year in the mid-2000s, but the northward flow dropped so much that officials
only had to make 6,000 arrests in 2013, according to a 2014 letter by two
pro-migration Senators, Sen. Jeff Flake and John McCain.
The Chicago Model:
Population Replacement and the Transformation of the USA
Speaking at the University of Missouri in
Columbia during a 2008 speech, then-Senator Obama said, "We are five days away from fundamentally
transforming the United States of America."
Many believe that this fundamental
transformation was pursued for the eight years Obama was in office.
Few would say that at the time that a
fundamental transformation was already going on in Chicago. For more than
fifty years, the Chicago Democrats were using population removal to get votes
and guarantee the outcome of elections. Just as an iron curtain once fell
across Europe, a red curtain had already fallen across Chicago's 50 wards.
The roots of transformation
What are the origins of this program to
transform the nation? The roots of Obama's politics are to be found
in the uni-party politics of Chicago. It has been the aim of the
national Democratic Party to use Chicago as a model and then impose that
political model on the United States.
The Chicago model requires, first of all,
population replacement. Population replacement leads to voter
replacement and then cultural replacement. Once population
replacement is accomplished, voting will eventually reach a point where it
becomes irrelevant.
After population replacement, any
opposition party to the Democrats can never get enough votes to stop the
fundamental transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic
to a socialist democracy. Democrats
will always have a guaranteed majority once population is
replaced. Today, uncontrolled immigration and redefining citizenship
are the keystone to unlocking that guaranteed majority.
The ongoing debate over Obama's
natural-born citizenship status is an example of how the subject of voting and
citizenship is viewed by the Democrats. What should have been a
discussion about constitutional qualifications became one about racism.
This accusation of racism nullified the
issue in the minds of many, who had a foggy idea about citizenship to begin
with. The
debate also showed that Democrats want votes no matter where they can get
them. They
want votes up to the point where votes become irrelevant, as is now the case in
most Chicago elections.
Englewood and Daley College
What we intend to show here in summary
form is how the accumulation of individual lives and the political decisions
made by men produce social changes that some may not desire and others
maliciously intend. Just like the accumulation of individual
coccolithophores over time made the white cliffs of Dover, so population
replacement has altered forever Englewood and Daley College.
If we take as examples a Chicago
neighborhood and an educational institution in the city, we see how a plan for
fundamental transformation was carried out. Both of these examples
show how population replacement eventually led to voter and cultural
replacement. Population replacement and voter replacement became
cogs in the uni-party state that continues to run Chicago, making the city the
most segregated in the nation.
The destruction and transformation of
Chicago's Englewood community was perhaps the first and best example of how
population removal led to voter removal and the transformation of values. What happened over the course of about
50 years was that a viable community, often rivaling Chicago's Loop in terms of
wealth, shopping, and cultural attractions, was transformed into a wasteland
that encouraged broken families, poverty, and drug addiction.
The ruling Democrats in Chicago could see
this transformation happening before their eyes and did nothing to stop
it. They did little to stop redlining, the exodus of the white
working class to the suburbs, or the influx of poor blacks from the South.
In short, Chicago's ruling elites built a
plantation where blacks migrating from the Southern states would be housed in
projects and made to vote Democrat. In many ways, black leaders
became the capos of a plantation that assured that Democrats would win election
after election in Chicago. Can anyone point to an example of how
Jesse Jackson improved, over the long run, the lives of many blacks living in
Chicago?
Local urban election victories would be in
turn translated to victories on the national level by other segregated U.S.
cities. Chicago became the model for Democratic victories at the
polls. By the time Barack Obama ran for office, the formula for
victory by controlling urban minorities with the help of progressive whites was
well in place.
If we move from the example of how a
neighborhood experienced population replacement for the sake of voter and
cultural replacement, the transformation of Daley College on the southwest side
of Chicago becomes a good example of how and institution can also be
fundamentally transformed by removing one population and replacing it with
another.
Daley College, originally named Bogan
Junior College, was established to serve the white ethnic communities on the
southwest side of the city. As Latino immigration increased in the '70s and '80s, a
political decision was made to turn what was now Daley College into an all
Latino school. That meant replacing the faculty and forcing out the
white ethnic students. After an all Latino administration was put in
place, little by little, Daley College was transformed into an all Latino
institution. Population replacement also led to value and cultural
replacement.
Where once there were students speaking
Polish and
Lithuanian, students fleeing communism,
there are now
Mexican students speaking Spanish and
demonstrating in favor
of illegal immigration and socialism.
Ethnic cleansing in the U.S.
What happened at Daley College and
Englewood was nothing short of ethnic cleansing, yet few in Chicago would
recognize it as that today. Most Chicagoans know little of the
history of Englewood or Daley College.
Liberalism and ignorance may be in the
water they drink. Yet to participate today in that structure set up
by the Democrats is to participate in its evil, the same way the Germans of the
1930s participated in the growing evil of their politics.
Across the nation, controversy over
illegal immigration, the watering down of citizenship, and the relentless
attack on U.S. history seems to many to be unending. Unfortunately, even
those with a good heart and a desire for justice are attracted, perhaps in
their innocence, to the illusions of the Democratic
Party. Sometimes, we imagine that these misguided citizens outnumber
those who are in politics not for patriotism, but for power. The structure of evil that is the
Democratic Party is oblivious to them.
For the Democrats, the God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Jacob must be replaced with the ideals of the progressive
state. If the Democrats have to use Islam or the wisdom of the great
theologian Nancy Pelosi for that removal, they will. In many cases,
the ruling Democratic Party in large U.S. cities distorted the values of
freedom and justice to the point where they became the false values of
multiculturalism and diversity.
There are some who may argue that Chicago
politics is just ordinary urban politics found in a U.S. city that has
undergone wave after wave of European immigration. Furthermore, the
fundamental transformation of Chicago has brought prosperity to some. Walking
along the lakefront, it may be hard to argue against that point of
view. To make a counter-argument, you must go to Englewood and Daley
College to see the spiritual and physical devastation the Democratic Party's
quest for power has wrought.
Beyond that, there is the religious
question, which may be at the heart of U.S. political history. How
did Catholic immigrants end up supporting a progressive politics that was
opposed to their faith? Even when some Catholics resisted the
transformation of their neighborhoods, as in the case of Father Lawlor, they
were betrayed by Catholic politicians.
"Undocumented immigrants" will
become undocumented Democrats
It is obvious to many who call themselves
deplorables and those living in the heartland that the election of Donald Trump
help saved the nation. The Chicago model of fundamental
transformation could no longer proceed unstopped. Nevertheless, the
Democratic Party is still focused on its goal.
As always, the world goes
on. Yesterday's topless towers of Ilium give way to today's
Magnificent Mile. The uni-party, headed by the Democrats, still runs
Chicago. Chicago politicians are not yet done with their hope for a
fundamental transformation.
The Democrats still plan to have the same
power structure for the nation that we see in Chicago. Illegal immigration is the first step
toward population and voter replacement, just like in Englewood and at Daley
College. Illegal aliens will become undocumented Democrats.
Nevertheless, in many small towns across
the heartland, citizens are becoming aware that population and cultural
replacement is in store for them. They want nothing to do with
it. In 2016, they took matters into their own
hands. Donald Trump and the deplorables have frustrated the plan for
national, uni-party control. It remains to be seen for how long.
