Forget the Sotomayor circus, Howard Zinn reminds us what the Supreme Court is really for

So where are all the Sarah Palin apologists now?

Why aren't they rallying around Sotomayor and crying foul at the harsh conservative media and their brutal assaults on this woman?

Well, because they are two-faced cowards clearly only interested in brash partisan politics.

When a conservative woman is scrutinized by the media it's sexism. When a Hispanic woman with a liberal slant is treated in much the same manner it's fair game.

Yet the real problem lies in the fact that when the dust settles, and Sotomayor is confirmed onto the Supreme Court, nothing, I repeat, nothing in America is going to change unless the people unite and defy when they feel a particular law is unjust.


Throughout the history of America the Supreme Court has been relied up by the powerful for one thing: to maintain the status-quo.
