Durbin on Republicans

Dick Durbin's statement on the Senate floor is ridiculous to the extreme and does nothing but fan the flames of ethnic angst:

Judge Sotomayor should not be chosen to serve on the court because of her Hispanic heritage, but those who oppose her for fear of her unique life experience do no justice to her or our nation. Their names will be listed in our nation's annals of elected officials one step behind America's historic march forward"

Read: Republicans who refused to vote for Sotomayor are racists. Disgusting.
