It amuses me when people make assumptions about my political leanings based upon my gender and ethnicity, because that means they will usually be wrong.
I just want to say that Sonia Sotomayor’s role in Ricci vs. New Haven colors my opinion of her far more than what some people think that I, as a minority female, should be feeling. My husband could easily face the same situation as the New Haven firefighters whose promotion exam results got thrown out because not enough blacks made the promotion list. That would be so wrong, and yeah, I would take it personal because it affects my family. And for anyone to think that it is okay because of the decision for New Haven would be even worse.
