We need more feminist leadership. But I would have to disagree with the political strategists who suggest there may be a backlash against republican senators for voting against the hispanic woman. Based on the nomination of Estrada in 2001, Democratic senators lashed out against the hispanic conservative claiming that he lacked judicial experience, yet there was no sign of repercussion against the democrats in high populated hispanic areas. However, this could be an altogether different scenario if the Dems play their political cards right. I personally would have loved to see a conservative hispanic woman nominated, i believe it would not have caused as much controversy and tension between hispanics and whites over the issue. I could be wrong. p.s. outstanding journalism! I love that a hispanic woman made it to the supreme court. We need more feminist leadership.
