U.S. Supreme Court Nominee
The U.S. Supreme Court nominee is an Hispanic woman (or Latina -- depending on where you stand on the Politically Correct pitchfork), and everybody is talking. But what do we know about her other than the fact she is 54 yrs. old and was born/raised in South Bronx, NY? We know she's a graduate of Yale Law School and has 16 years' experience in the courts. But is she really the best choice? Ask yourself where she stands on abortion or the Mexico City Policy and you may change your mind about her. Do we know where she stands on same sex marriage?
Perhaps a better choice would have been Cruz Reynoso, a native Californian of Mexican decent who worked in agriculture (fruit orchards) as a youth, and who rose to prominence as the first Chicano to serve on the California Supreme Court. Reynoso's father worked as a farm worker. Justice Reynoso is an articulate, intelligent, politically savvy and quick witted individual with a passion for justice. Unfortunately, he was not a supporter of the death penalty (a hot potato issue), and as a result was not reconfirmed in the 1986 Judicial-Retention election. Justice Reynoso teaches at UCLA School of Law & the UC Davis School of Law. We know exactly what Reynoso stands for, and of his passion for equality and justice. Can we say that about Sotomayor?
I'm not anti-Sotomayor. In fact, I'm as excited as everyone else that Obama finally recognized the Hispanic-Latino community and that he chose a Latina woman for the job, but I just wonder if she really is the best nominee for the job.

Smart Gun Control?
In my opinion, the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms is outdated and out-of-synch with everything a modern, progressive society should stand for. 1) Does the US Constitution's 2nd Amendment give individuals the right to bear arms or is that right reserved exclusively for members of a "well-regulated militia"? 2) How can guns be better regulated? 3) Are "smart guns" the answer?
