We’re beginning to learn some very interesting tidbits from Sonia Sotomayor’s background. The Washington Times today has a report on discoveries in the documents of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, where Sotomayor worked for twelve years.
A legal advocacy group advised by Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor in the 1980s actively opposed conservative Robert H. Bork’s nomination to the high court calling him a “threat” to the “civil rights of the Latino community.”
…
The documents, which the group’s lawyers have said include relevant information about Judge Sotomayor’s time there, also show the fund did legal work for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, known as ACORN.
None of these should disqualify someone from serving on the bench, but talk radio and Fox News will no doubt have a field day.
