Sonia Sotomayor's Book Tells of Life's Struggles

14 Jan 2013

In a memoir to be published on Tuesday, Sonia Sotomayor writes of the chronic disease, troubled family relationships and failed marriage that accompanied her rise from a housing project in the Bronx to a seat on America's highest court. The first Hispanic and the third woman to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, the 58-year-old justice, appointed by President Barack Obama in 2009, describes the insecurities she has felt as a minority who benefited from racial remedies.

She signed on to write the sweeping, 315-page book, "My Beloved World," early in her tenure. She received a $1.175 million book advance in 2010 from publisher, Alfred A. Knopf, according to financial disclosure records.

Sitting down for a rare interview in her Supreme Court chambers, Sotomayor said that after being thrust into the public limelight with her nomination to the court, she felt the need for introspection to hold onto her identity.

The court's nine justices, appointed for life, typically decline to sit for interviews or offer any personal observations related to cases. Book tours offer rare opportunities to draw them out on issues, even if only a little.

TROUBLED FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS

She exudes the same energy when speaking on the phone or talking through the door to her assistant, often calling people "sweetie." Her chambers are spacious, bright and elegant, decorated with modern art on the walls.

Her environs have not always been so pristine. She describes the difficulty of growing up with a father who was an alcoholic and a mother who was frequently absent. Diagnosed with diabetes at a young age, she wet the bed, fainted in church and learned to inject daily doses of insulin to regulate her blood sugar.

Her father died when Sotomayor was nine, leaving a room full of drained liquor bottles hidden under his mattress, in jacket pockets and closets. While his death sent Sotomayor's mother into a state of grief, it was also a relief. Until then, her mother had worked long hours as a nurse to stay out of the house and avoid conflict.

VESTIGES OF DISCRIMINATION

The book comes out as the Supreme Court is weighing a landmark case about the role of race in college admissions. Sotomayor was careful in the Reuters interview not to discuss current cases, but said there was value to affirmative action programs.

"It's impossible to not recognize that the vestiges of discrimination take a long time to erase," she said. "It just doesn't happen overnight."

But she also called affirmative action a "double-edged sword." She said some people still attribute her position on the court to affirmative action, based on her identity as a Latina justice.

It DOES seem impossible for YOU to recognize discriminating against BETTER QUALIFIED whites in order to benefit your pathetic unqualified brown ass IS possible though,doesn't it,you piece of PC shit?

Just exactly HOW is creating MORE LEGAL discrimination helping to end discrimination,you bleeping retard?

I'll bet one of your other brain farts is screwing for virginity.

But she also called affirmative action a "double-edged sword." She said some people still attribute her position on the court to affirmative action, based on her identity as a Latina justice.

DUUUH! You admit this yourself and then wonder why people think this of you? I doubt you are smart enough to get a job driving a city bus based on your actual qualifications,and even that job may be too complex for you,

How about discriminating against better qualified blacks?

Oh that's right, that never happened in US history, did it?

On the other hand,*I* can,mindless puppet.

Judge Janice Rogers Brown,who the Dims would never allow to even be nominated for a SC seat because she is a conservative who recognizes the inherent discrimination involved with Affirmative Action.

She is,in fact,one of the brightest legal minds in the country,and a dedicated American and follower of the Bill of Rights.

WOW! She was actually smart enough to get on bus all by herself!

No wonder you admire her. Maybe one day you will be able to figure out how to get on a bus by yourself,too!

You know I wonder if she was for or against the Civil Rights Act of 1964?? That would prove one way or the other if she was smart or not!!

I doubt she was thinking anything about it at the time. She was quoted as saying she was tired and had a attitude for having to work so hard for so little (Which is NOT a exclusive "black thang") and just decided she was too damn tired to walk to the back of the bus,so she sat down where she was standing at the time.

I have no doubt she was for it once she rested up and thought about it,but right then she just wanted to sit down because she was tired.

BTW,she was beaten and robbed by a black thug a couple of years before she died.

I'm betting SHE would have liked to have been armed at the time.

Yup, and she must have wondered, just because I'm black, why can't I sit in whatever available seat there is on the bus, rather than being forced to sit all the way in the back.

I agree for the most part,but NOT the part where you insist on implying it is a bigger burden for someone black to do this purely because they are black.

BUT.....,it doesn't matter what either of us think if it was a private bus line with no government contracts because he or she is free to discriminate against anyone they want to discriminate against.

Of course it was, how could it not have been? What if there were no seats available in the back, where she was forced to sit? Then she had to stand, rather than sit in a seat in the front available only to whites? It was purely because they are black, precisely because these were the laws imposed on blacks. Had it been imposed on whites, then it would have been the opposite.

You really and truly don't even begin to understand how ignorant you really are,do you?

It is people like you that help keep racism alive by constantly playing the victim and dismissing or totally ignoring the fact that EVERY ethnic group has gone through the same thing and insisting blacks and American Indians are some sort of children incapable of taking care of or advancing themselves without unfair advantages imposed on everyone else by the "Great White Father".

BORN to be a Dim because you can't be anything else.

You should know by now that he doesn't like answering relevant questions but likes to focus more on asking irrelevant ones.... It's all about portraying others as the bad guy, the ignorant guy, the racist guy!!
