The Island of Logic

Sotomayor’s responses to “What does the Constitution mean to you?”

• I like to drink a lot of prune juice to take care of constitution.
• Oh, that Constitution!
• Well that was written by a lot of white men and I am a wise Latina.
• The Constitution has something to do with the law. Right?
• Wait! Wait! Don’t tell me I know this.
• Well if it is law, then it is flexible like the rest of the law and open to interpretation and empathy.
• Can someone get me a dictionary? I’m not sure what empathy means, or even flexible for that matter.
• I am really wise though.
• And a Latina.
• And Obama said I have empathy.
