Sonia Sotomayor (2nd Circuit Court justice)A grassroots immigration enforcement activist is calling on all Americans to oppose the appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court because of her membership in a controversial Hispanic rights organization.



Sonia Sotomayor has already raised a few eyebrows in the conservative community because of a speech she made in 2002 at the University of California at Berkeley. She suggested that justice might be better determined by some races than others by saying, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

A profile published by the American Bar Association reveals that President Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court is a member of the National Council of La Raza, which supports illegal immigration and is considered by many Americans to be a racist organization. One of them is William Gheen, who is president of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC.

William Gheen (ALIPAC)"We do not need a Hispanic supremacist on the Supreme Court. This woman is openly affiliated with a racist organization, La Raza, and is making overt racist comments -- and it is against the spirit of American law to define laws based on race," he notes. "We've spent decades getting America away from that. And now Obama is trying to throw that backwards by presenting an Hispanic supremacist to the U.S. Supreme Court."

Gheen is calling on his group's 25,000 members to contact their U.S. senators to try to stop the nomination of Sotomayor to the United States Supreme Court.
