In 2005, Samuel Alito was nominated by then President George W. Bush, to the United States Supreme Court. He was confirmed and now sits on the bench of the Supreme Court.

During his confirmation hearings, nominee Alito's membership in an alumni organization at Princeton University that sought to limit the number of women and minorities attending the university was revealed.

When nominee Alito was questioned about his membership in the organization, the questions were termed inappropriate by some in the media.

The author of this article notes a decidely different approach to media treatment of nominee Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina nominee to the United States Supreme Court.

Right. Standing up against bogus quota system is the same as "<i>sought to limit the number of women and minorities attending the university </i>"
Hey, it worked with ACORN. You managed to reframe standing up against election fraud as "voter intimidation."
Next up: "You aren't arresting me for possesion of Marijana! You're just a facist opposed to organic gardening!"

With blatent intellectual honesty like that, who needs Goebles-like propoganda.
Mmmm... On second thought, go back into the echo chamber, think about it some more, bounce around other crackpot ideas, and try again. Certainly you can come up with an apologist sidestep for a Latino racist that sells a little better than this one.
Poor Rachel. You can bet she cringed when she was handed this weakcheese Moonbat dictum to sell on air.
