Why would she think a female Hispanic judge would do a better job of interpreting a constitution written by old white men then an old white man would?

 

When the constitution was written, Thomas Jefferson was 33, and John Adams was 41.

 

Not sure I would call them old.

 

Edit: Ops, that was the Declaration if Independence. The Constitution was written 11 years later, so they were 44 and 51.

 

Getting to the edge of old.

 

Jokes are funnier when you don't over anaylze them.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
