VIDEO: Sotomayor Not so Wise Today

Before I get to what struck me about today's round of hearings in the Sonia "Ignore my comments, my rulings, and my affiliations" Sotomayor, let's start with the "Wise Latina" woman comments that got her in a bit of trouble today. It's very important to remember that she said these words on six or seven different occasions. To illustrate, here is the quote seven times.

I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life.

Yes, on at least six (maybe seven) occasions, nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court Sonia Sotomayor uttered those words. Today, she said the words were misunderstood and she shouldn't have used them. They fell "flat" according to Sotomayor.

So we're to believe she DIDN'T think those words fell flat after the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth time she said them. They fell flat when it was time to SAY they did in order to get confirmed, right Ms. Sotomayor?

Here's a video of her taking questions about her comments from Jeff Sessions (R - Alabama) today.
