At CQ’s “Legal Beat” blog, Seth Stern documents more instances of Judge Sotomayor’s sentiment that “a wise Latina woman”—or a wise woman, regardless of her ethnicity—“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.” (My previous posts on the topic are here and here.) As Stern delicately puts it, Sotomayor’s “repeated use of the phrases ‘wise Latina woman’ and ‘wise woman’ [in substantially similar remarks] would appear to undermine the Obama administration’s assertions that the statement was simply a poor choice of words.”
