Senator Kyl to NRO:

One thing Kyl was willing to discuss, though, was Sotomayor’s remarks on the suitability of people with certain races and ethnicities to serve on the court — namely, her statement that “I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”
“I suspect she’s going to hear a lot about that,” said Kyl. “That was not a smart thing to say.”
