Biden Promises Biased Rulings on Sotomayor's Behalf

Uh oh: Plugs managed to get his gag off again. He took the opportunity to promote racist Supremes nominee Sonia Sotomayor before an assembly of law enforcement groups:
"So you all are on the front lines. But as you do your job, know that Judge Sotomayor has your back as well," Biden said. "And throughout this nomination process, I know you'll have her back."
The comment touched on the hot-button issue of bias in the debate over Sotomayor, whose confirmation hearings could start as early as July if Democrats have their way.
John Wesley Hall, president of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, said Biden didn't do himself any favors with that remark, since it's likely to generate more critical questions for Sotomayor during confirmation hearings.
"That (comment) means that she could probably care less about civil liberties and just do whatever law enforcement wants," Hall said.
Biden's handlers got the gag back in his mouth before he could set things to right with a proclamation that Sotomayor would balance her law enforcement views by continuing to discriminate in favor of non-Caucasians.
