Do not forget that Miguel Estrada was not the ideal candidate for Latinos in the US. However, further important, he did not have the required experience to be an Appellate Court Judge; and his refusal to release his memos confirmed to the Hispanic Community what we already knew about Mr. Estrada. Yes, Mr. Estrada was for Hispanics, what Clarence Thomas is for Blacks. Let us be clear. Hispanics don't go bananas because a Hispanic candidate has been selected to a high profile position. We are not stupid. Any individual, whether is White, Black, or Hispanic, must be well qualified. Miguel Estrada was well qualified by the ABA on his academics but not in experience. His philosophy about minorities was an insult to our community. There should be no comparison between Judge Sonia Sotomayor and Miguel Estrada. Judge Sotomayor's 17 years on the bench is a living proof of her vast experience, and that she is not either left or right, but a serious defender of the rule of law.
