      If you've watched the confirmation hearings of any supreme court justice like with Kentanji Onyika Brown Jackson then you'll realize that Senators on the Republican side like Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton and Ted Cruz, you'll realize that they weren't being kind and understanding towards her. They were mean and hurtful towards her.

    This discussion is disheartening. The recalcitrant ignorance of some people is beyond me. I am a Chilean, my girlfriend is a white girl, and I really don't have anything against whites qua white. I can't tolerate injustice and defamation. Some people kept asking me if I was an "illegal Mexican." I am not; I've lived in this country for 20 years. Some people forget how minority groups have contributed to this nation: Asians, blacks, Latino, etc. But they choose to cling to a racist ideology.

    Being a supreme court justice is definitely not for me at all. Can anyone imagine if the US President Republican or Democrat decided to nominate me to become the next supreme court justice. It would be a honor for me to accept it but the confirmation hearings would be intense and challenging and tremendous and overwhelming and senators on one side would question me in many ways. So I consider myself very fortunate that I'm not into that at all.

    In form this is your argument:

    -A product sells very well. Therefore, the product is a good product.

    Continue:
    They note that slavery dominated the secessionist declarations, speeches, and pamphlets. Nevins also points to the argument of Alexander Stephens, who disputed Toombs' claims about the severity of the Morrill tariff. Though initially a unionist, Stephens would later cite slavery as the "cornerstone" reason behind his support of the secessionist cause."

    "According to economist and libertarian historian Thomas DiLorenzo, this tariff was the primary cause of the Civil War.[16] Most Civil War historians disagree. Allan Nevins and James M. McPherson downplay the significance of the tariff dispute, arguing that it was peripheral to the issue of slavery.

    Senator Grassley , since u claim to represent , the American voters, ie We the peoples , & exercise power n influence in our name , incl duties n obligations of interrogating , h'err interviewing the Presidential nominees to the SC of the US , what if We the peoples were to directly exercise our powers , duties & obligations , for a change , instead of outsourcing , delegating all the onerous tasks to you , ?
    Aahhaa it looks like , our master's & lords , we the peoples are not happy n satisfied with the jobs done by their elected Senators /Congressmen .
    Alright , let's see what , We the peoples, wish to ask the Presidential nominees to the SCOTUS ...?
    Are u game Ms S Sotomayer ?
    By all means, Senator Grassley ,why not ...after all , what &for who are the 3 branches of the Constitutional democracy , meant to serve ?
    Let's begin , Mr Martin ...
    Ms S Sotomayer u've been motivated & inspired by Perry Mason , fiction law -mystery novels to join the legal profession isn't it...?
    Indeed that's a fact & truth. Yet I was always clear , since my child hood days when I learnt to read English language , abt being determined to occupy the bench , so to speak, rather than the bar ...
    Why's that Ms S Sotomayer ?
    For the simple reason , the Judge on the bench has the last , final word /say , pronouncing the verdict , once lawyer , Perry Mason finished his arguments & requested the Judge to deliver the verdict.
    And what abt the Jury members ?
    Don't they deliberate & arrive at a conclusion of acquittal or conviction ?
    Now that's a terrain that needs an elaborate discussion , Mr Martin.
    Is US the only country to have a trial by jury system ?
    The trial by Jury system was introduced by England's King John 1 , as he signed the famous Magna Carta documents in the first decade of 13th century ...
    While it's true that most of the countries , fmr colonies of the British Empire hv abolished the Jury trial system, it has been adopted by the US, the Canada, Australia , where it continues inspite of critics railing against the glaring flaws , incl the UK
    Why does it continue inspite of the glaring conspicuous flaws in the system, Ms S Sotomayer ?
    Well, in practice in the US only abt 4% of the criminal cases & 1 % of civil cases are decided by Jury trial system .
    And the rest ?
    Plea bargaining by the prosecution &:the defendant attorneys offering an option /choice of , a substantially reduced prison term or being let off in some cases , should they plead guilty .... To avoid the expensive , time consuming going thru the onerous process of jury selection, premptory challenges , etc etc ....
    What about Germany judicial system. Does it follow the jury trial system ?
    That's an interesting query Mr Martin...
    U remember the Munich Beer Putsch in 1924 ,vwhen the National Socialist party ie A Hitler's -Natzis failed couple attempt ?
    Yes that was in 1924 ....?
    Yes. A Hitler was arrested &:tried for treason & sentenced for a long term but released in 9 months. And incidentally the Jury trial system has been abolished a year before this trial ie in 1923 by the Chancellor Wilhelm Marx ...!
    They follow a system of having a mixee bench ie a man x of lay Judges & professional Judges & it seems to hv worked fine in Germany to date ...
    And what abt Russia ?
    Russia under the Czar Alexander II had introduced the trial by Jury system in the year 1864 , in an attempt to introduce democracy , abolish serfdom , when he released peasants from servitude ...The system was abolished by the Lenin's bolsheviks in 1917 , however it made a comeback in Russia in 1993 besides Spain in the year 1995...
    Wasn't Joseph Stalin accused of manipulating witnesses in a thuggery , hooliganism case in Moscow ?
    That was the notorious , Bank robbery case of 1907 by Lenin & Stalin & their comrades , in Tiflis , Georgia , which was described by them as Expropriation of the peoples monies from the Imperial Bank....
    The 19th & 20 th century was a golden era for Bank heists across Europe / US incl Russia ....
    Soooh, in ur considered view is there any substantive difference in the Russian , trial by Jury system & the American , jury trial system...
    I'd rather refer that query to a Grand jury , Mr Martin....
