Ronald Reagan nominated a woman for the Supremes...O'Conner became a moderating force on the bench, and this was probably one of Reagan's only good decision... It has to do with being 'White'...
She is being slammed because she is Spanish, from Puerto Rico... It's because she said something about having life experience, which would be different than a white guy... The Republicans who voted for McCain/Palin, had no problem with Sarah Palin...they would to her rallies and drool for her... It has nothing to do with being a woman, that they are on her butt... It has to do with her being a non-white 'liberal'... The Triad of Rush/Cheney and Fox news, is revealing the darkness of their philosophy, and the coldness of their hearts... R.G.
