Oh, for many characters to have used and gotten away with this defense at times in the past:
"Mr. Bundy, how do you plead?" "I didn't mean it." "Case dismissed!"
"Herman Goring, you are accused of crimes against humanity and atrocities committed on the name of the Nazi state. How do you plead?" "I didn't mean it." "Case dismissed!"
At least OJ Simpson had the stones to stand up and say he didn't do it right from the start. He even had the audacity to say he'd continue to work to find the "real killers", in between rounds of golf that is.
I'm not saying that Judge Sotomayor is evil, a murderer or war criminal. I'm illustrating through an excessive example
how absurd her "defense" of her racist remarks is.
Judge (soon to be Justice) Sotomayor won't take responsibility for what she said and why. Why? She knows it's a non-starter. I'd have more respect for the lady if she just admitted she's a racist. Or at least a bigot. At least she would be honest about the kind of person she is. She's purposefully misrepresenting herself, which in and of itself should disqualify her to sit as a Supreme Court Justice.
UPDATE: Now it's a "rhetorical flourish". She "rhetorically flourished" at least seven times that we know of.
Here is something which isn't a "rhetorical flourish" - this woman is a damn liar.
