Sotomayor on the Constitution
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.
