S. racial classification scheme, "Hispanic" generally means "Latino", with a tag-along of "other Spanish culture".<br /><br />BUT, J. Cardozo's forbears never got to South America, they came to the U. S. via Britain.<br /><br />And "White" or "Caucasian" means having origin in Europe.<br /><br />Not that it makes a difference, having driven a friend to a Taco Bell one night would have been enough to make TheOne's first nominee the "First Hispanic".<br /><br />2. Since Appellate Federal Judges get to decide what the Constitution says, who would grade it? It's like giving me a test on what dishes I like to eat or what music is my favourite. My answers are correct, since they are ex cathedra.staghoundshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976667812875074135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-74351664151304259692009-05-31T10:13:51.169-04:002009-05-31T10:13:51.169-04:00I've never been able to understand why there isn't...I've never been able to understand why there isn't something like a GRE test on Constitutional Knowledge for all potential Supreme Court nominees, on which they must score 100% or be forever disqualified.<br /><br />Maybe we should come up with that test.<br /><br />Question 1: From what original source do the rights of the people inhere?<br /><br />If you answer "From the Constitution" or "From the government", you fail.Fuzzy Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802539927743643041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-3978097787258863962009-05-30T16:50:32.406-04:002009-05-30T16:50:32.406-04:00My mothers nation does not allow "half breeds" so ...My mothers nation does not allow "half breeds" so I'm just a mutt. But the half Choctaw I married could become a member if she wanted to. <br /><br />We Indians really need one of our own on SCOTUS to "start dealin' out some justice" on the palefaces, as the O Man says about Sonia. The O Man would not agree but palefaces should include the descendants of the Buffalo Soldiers, of course. <br /><br />I keep hearing rumors that Sonia has been a very bad girl - I suppose we will just have to "wayt a wile" and see. There's supposed to be fireworks to equal the Wagon Box affair Monday. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://callejonextrano.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-63019176984949399662009-05-30T16:47:35.483-04:002009-05-30T16:47:35.483-04:00You know, o' beautiful one, that the Constitution ...You know, o' beautiful one, that the Constitution only has one requirement to be a Supreme Court or Appellate Justice, and being a lawyer is not it.<br /><br />Article III. <br /><br />Section 1.<br /><br />The Judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Office during good Behaviour, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.<br /><br />So, if you behave, you have a shot!
