She's a survivor, totally qualified

So we have a new lady on the Supreme Court, Sonia Sotomayor. I was a little disappointed that the article I read is written in a poor order that tells the less important reasons Obama would appoint someone to the supreme court first:

Since David Souter announced his retirement from the Court, Sotomayor has been regarded as a front runner for many reasons; she has solid legal credentials, the real-world experience Obama sought in a nominee, and a compelling story as a girl who rose from poverty in the projects of the South Bronx.


It later goes on to say that she has experience with the public and private sector, and has been a federal judge. That's all fine, but a compelling story? Obama, I like you but don't be shining out da hood in you. Not this early, friend..

James 4:12

If you insist on the Bible route.
Stana posted this video in a bulletin.


I don't know what all that jazz at the end meant, but in short; yes. Exactly Keith. Who is anyone in this country to say that a couple can't have the same rights as everyone else just because they're the same sex? Atleast they're not black. Remember how we were scared of that too? They're people. It's love. Get over yourselves and whatever power you think you're entitled to because you're conventional/traditional/what have you.
