Why Senator Leahy (D) Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee did you permit the Republicans vicious racial attacks on Judge Sotomayor for at least four days during the Senate Confirmation Hearing on Judge Sotomayor ?
Mr.Leahy you should have questioned Jeff Sessions and his Republicans colleagues on the Senate Judiciary Committee when they all engaged in a well orchestrated relentless racial assault on Judge Sotomayor's suitability,Judicial Philosophy,Temperament,and qualifications of Judge Sotomayor to sit as an Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court. The Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee used subtle coded racial language under the disguise of questioning Judge Sotomayor and anyone that has a slight degree of sensitivity could see that the Republican onslaught on the Judge Sotomayor had obvious racial overtones.
Furthermore Mr. Leahy you could have also questioned Mr. Sessions on why he didn't call any of the 83% African American&Female litigants who had their discrimination claims rejected by Judge Sotomayor on the United States Second Court Of Appeals. Mr Sessions only called a group of New Haven White Fire Fighters plus one Hispanic Fire Fighter to score political points and to appeal to his racist base which is deep in the heart of Dixie and all over the United States of America. And by the way Mr. Leahy your Democratic Party invented racial politics,and your Democrats practiced three hundred and fifty years of white Christian Terrorism against people of color in the United States Of America.
What is vitally needed in the United States Of America is the Establishment, development, cultivation of a true viable well financed third or fourth political Party that will challenge and compete against the monopolistic stranglehold of the Republican and Democratic Parties at every level of government. How is it that in a country of well over 306 million people we have only two main political parties and a handful of fringe parties that do not possess the resources and finanaces to mount any semblance of a challenge to the main players ? The American people need to see that it is in their best interest to break-up this exclusive club of the Democratic and Republican party. Competition is needed to make our elected officials more accountable to the people they serve rather than currying favor with the corporate lobbyists and their respective special interest. It is free open competition that has made America successful in the market place and in this experiment in democratic governance.
The American taxpayers have had poor to marginal mediocre performance for the last forty years in all the systems of governance with very little accountability. Is our failure to act with any degree of urgency to change the present corrupt political system mean that we are satisfied with the status quo, or simply to lazy and comfortable ?

The third party to combat the Republicans and Democrats could be the Socialist Party... led by our main man Barack Obama !!
