Media claims to the contrary, the context does not make her remarks any more palatable.
On the contrary, her whole speech is clearly tinged with racism.

I had intended to read the whole article, but after having reached the 29th time she used “Latino/a” (yes I counted) I just couldn’t stomach it anymore.
“Now, the growth of Latino representation is somewhat less favorable. As of today we have, as I noted earlier, no Supreme Court justices, and we have only 10 out of 147 active Circuit Court judges and 30 out of 587 active district court judges. Those numbers are grossly below our proportion of the population”
I guess this means if I were to just get up and move to Germany I would be entitled to a seat on one of their highest courts? I’m sure that there are enough Americans there that we could all get together and demand seats in proportion to our population, nevermind that I don’t have a law degree or even speak German, the mere fact that we are there entitles us to positions of power, right?

Very simple - it does not unify, it does not advance, it does not build up, it does absolutely nothing to move America forward to promote, idealize, and push forward special interest group think and the divisiveness of Identity Politics.
Until Judge Sotomayor and the Teleprompter Precedent see themselves as Americans first, foremost and only - they will continue to tear apart, set one citizen ‘group’ upon another, and destroy America.
And that is sedition and treason.
I would have posted the speech entire ... but it was close to 24000+ characters and was toooo long to C&P
