It was perfectly OK to criticize and attack Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General, even though he was the first Hispanic AG, because he was a Bush appointee and a Republican...no concern by the media or anyone else about any backlash...
However, it is NOT OK to criticize the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor as Supreme Court Justice because she is Hispanic and there might be some backlash, the media and some talking heads warn us. This is the case even though she ruled in favor of reverse discrimination as a judge, AND she was caught implying that it is OK for judges to legislate from the bench in violation of the Constitution. Does anyone see any hypocrisy here?
