Sotomayor a Puerto Rican Nationalist? | Say Anything: North Dakota's Most Popular Political Blog

Sotomayor a Puerto Rican Nationalist? Say Anything: North Dakota's Most Popular Political Blog

Mark Levin highlighted two new damaging blows to Sonia Sotomayor’s nomination at the start of his show Wednesday night. First, Greg Sargent of the Washington Post’s Who Runs Gov site found that Sotomayor said almost exactly the same thing about “wise Latina women making wiser decisions” in 1994 as she did in 2001.

Second, and more shocking, via Ed Whelan on the Bench Memos blog on NRO, former New York Times and Newsweek legal reporter Stuart Taylor asked his friend K.C. Johnson to look at Sotomayor’s Princeton thesis. Johnson was disturbed that Sotomayor declared herself a Puerto Rican nationalist and dismissed the U.S. Congress as the “North American Congress” or the “Mainland Congress.”

Just another nail in her coffin?
