Was it Trent Lott who was hounded out of office because he had something nice to say about Strom Thurmond?

Meanwhile, Sotomayor was on the GOVERNING BOARD OF LA RAZA FOR SIX YEARS. Some info on La Raza:

La Raza teaches that Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as "Aztlan" — a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America. These areas belong to the Latinos and Latinas and must be surrendered to "La Raza" once enough immigrants, legal or illegal, come to constitute a majority, as in Los Angeles. Once this is achieved, the current borders of the United States will simply be obliterated.

But the "reconquista" won't end with territorial occupation and secession. The final plan for the La Raza movement includes the ethnic cleansing of Americans of European, African, and Asian descent out of "Aztlan."

Miguel Perez, a La Raza spokesman at Cal State-Northridge, has been quoted as saying: "The ultimate ideology is the liberation of Aztlan. Communism would be closest [to it]. Once Aztlan is established, ethnic cleansing would commence: Non-Chicanos would have to be expelled — opposition groups would be quashed because you have to keep power."

Haven't checked out the site. Just the first one to turn up when I typed in Sotomayor Governing Board. The information is accurate.

So, you have a woman who was not just a member of a group that advocates racial cleansing, but she was on the GOVERNING BOARD FOR SIX YEARS. And there are people in this country who think that such a person should be lauded in textbooks? She and her principles should be held up as exemplary?
