Justice Sonia Sotomayor, Obama's pick for the Supreme Court vacancy, has frequently proclaimed her love for Affirmative Action, even going so far as to define herself as "a product of Affirmative Action." She also claims she would not have been admitted to Princeton or Yale Law school without this policy because her "test scores were not comparable" to those of her peers. She maintains that she was granted these positions because she is a hispanic woman. Her devotion to "diversity at all costs" has driven her to deny promotions to the New Haven firefighters who earned them just because their skin isn't dark enough to merit a position of authority.
