Female Hispanics Causing Judicial Panic

Numerous Democratic members of Congress are calling for Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to step down from the Court and follow Stephen Breyer into retirement so as not to give Donald Trump a chance to possibly name a fourth Supreme Court member, which should give one an idea of how confident Democrats are in a Biden re-election victory (they're obviously not!). 

Sotomayor, the only Roman Catholic member of the Court who's not a stooge of Leonard Leo, is only 69, younger than some of the justices in the conservative bloc.  But she is diabetic, and some folks in Washington suspect that she won't live too long beyond the biblical threescore and ten and thus want to to go gently into that good night now.  This angered commentators on MSNBC, who said that you should never tell an Hispanic woman what to do.  

I'm glad they feel that way, because now they have to eat their words when they realize that they can't tell Judge Aileen Cannon - who was born in Colombia - what to do with regard to the Trump classified-documents case she's "overseeing."

Judge Cannon ruled that, given the sensitive nature of some of the documents to be offered as evidence in the government's case against Trump and some other technicalities a more experienced judge could handle in days, the trial in the classified-documents case should be postponed indefinitely.  That ended any hope of the most important and most slam-dunk case against Trump going to trial before Election Day.  And if Trump wins in November, he'll handle the case against him the same way he plans to deal with his opponents in government and the media - he'll make it go away permanently.  

Justice Sotomayor, a stalwart of the Supreme Court's ever-shrinking liberal wing, has shown no sign of slowing down after fifteen years on the High Court and shows no sign of her diabetes getting the best of her - even as fears of a second Trump Presidency are getting the best of her fair-weather friends in Washington.  They should leave her alone.  As for Judge Cannon, they have to leave her alone - because there's no recourse for handling her incompetence and obvious and odious pro-Trump favoritism.  We're stuck with her.

One good thing has come out of Judge Cannon's service on the federal bench - it proves what bunk race-based and ethnicity-based diversity is.  (Most people probably don't even know she's Hispanic, given her Scotch-Irish surname.)  Because Judge Cannon proves that women and people of racial and ethnic minorities can be just as stupid and dangerous as white men, as U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who is black, proves every day with his sycophancy to Trump.  Justice Sotomayor has spoken of the value of the perspective of a "wise Latina."  All good and fine, but what about the perspective of a dumb Latina like Judge Cannon?
