and as i said, latinos are not necessarily tied to one party or another. but there are some thing that's push us into the arms of the other party, and things of that sort would be, for example, in california where we saw proposition 187, the desire so many years ago by the republicans to take away public education from hispanic -- from immigrant kids in california. >> in terms of the republicans' hopes for turning this around, the reason that we're doing this is the story so high in the show today is because i, like you, was very surprised that the republican party didn't want to send somebody to the national council la raza conference. just given the politics here, given what's happened with the judge sotomayor nomination, it seems like -- it seems like a political move that's counterintuitive. if we assume that it was just a mistake and that they really do -- the republican party really does want to go for hispanic and latino voters, what would you expect to see from them in coming months in order to start trying to win back those folks? >> first of all,

moreover, latinos are twice as likely to have diabetes than non-latino whites of similar age. they can reduce the risk for complications if the -- if they're educated about their disease and take the proper steps to take care of themselves this means learning and practicing skills necessary to better control their blood cholesterol -- blood pressure and cholesterol level. they must exercise, receive regular checkups, as well as maintain a highly balanced diet as well as the willingness to change their dangerous eating habits. and that is difficult for a lot of us because we like our frijoles, our tortillas, our menudo. but we have to put that aside. that means eating more moderate portions or a combination of these. two people should be commended for their hard work in their attempt to educate the public about their the disease, rita torres, the actress, and edward. regardless of age of ethnicity, they ought to be recognized for their tireless effort to raise awareness. i have been affected personally by diabetes through the loss of five members of my immediate family, my fath

and since we are seeing more and more african-american and latino youth in our population, if we are leaving them behind, we cannot achieve our goal and america will fall further behind, and that's not a future i accept and that's not a future that the naacp is willing to accept. we're creating a race to the top that will reward states and public school districts that adopt 21st century standards and assessments. we're creating incentives for states to promote excellent teachers and replace bad ones, because the job of a teacher is too important for us to accept anything less than the best. we also have to explore innovative approaches, such as those being pursued here in new york city, invasions like high schoolier college, the preparatory schools that are challenging students to complete high school and earn a free associate's degree or college credits in just four years. and we should raise the bar when it comes to early learning programs. it's not enough to have just a baby-sitter. we need our young people stimulated, engaged, involved, and we need our folks involved in child dev

claiming the police promotion exam was biased against latinos and african-americans.he city settled the case, adding minorities who failed the test to the promotion list, but white officers with the same low scores were not given promotions. the white officers sued, but did not prevail in a case that went all the way up to the supreme court. meanwhile, sotomayor took a job at a private law firm and continued to make political connections. in 1991 at the urging of new york democratic senator daniel patrick moynihan, president george h.w. bush, appointed sotomayor judge on the u.s. district court. sotomayor briefly stepped into the national spotlight in 1995 when she issued an injunction that ended in 232 day long major league baseball strike. in 1997, president bill clinton elevated her to the much more powerful u.s. court of appeals. since then, she has written hundreds of opinions which most legal analyst agree show judicial restraint, bow to precedent and are largely uncontroversial. not so with a number of speeches she's delivered outside her courtroom. >> on the b

the difference will be in my judging but i accept that there will be some based on gender and my latino heritage. you said in your response to senator sessions that you weren't encouraging that but you talked about how we need to set that aside but you didn't in your speech say this is not good, we need to set this aside. instead, you seemed to be celebrating it. the clear inference is, it is a good thing that this is happening. so that's why some of us are concerned, first, with the president's elucidation of his point of view here about judging and then these speeches, several of them, including speeches that were included in law review articles that you edited that all say the same thing. it would certainly lead one to a conclusion that, a, you understand it will make a difference and, b, not only are you not saying anything negative but that but you seem to embrace that difference in concluding that you will make better decisions? that's the basis of concern that a lot of people have. please take the time you need to respond to my question. >> thank you. i have a record for 17 years

claiming the police promotion exam was biased against latinos and african-americans.e city settled the case, adding minorities who failed the test to the promotion list, but white officers with the same low scores were not given promotions. the white officers sued, but did not prevail in a case that went all the way up to the supreme court. meanwhile, sotomayor took a job at a private law firm and continued to make political connections. in 1991 at the urging of new york democratic senator daniel patrick moynihan, president george h.w. bush, appointed sotomayor judge on the u.s. district court. sotomayor briefly stepped into the national spotlight in 1995 when she issued an injunction that ended in 232 day long major league baseball strike. in 1997, president bill clinton elevated her to the much more powerful u.s. court of appeals. since then, she has written hundreds of opinions which most legal analyst agree show judicial restraint, bow to precedent and are largely uncontroversial. not so with a number of speeches she's delivered outside her courtroom. >> on the be

the media ran with this wise't latino thing. it was in the first stories out of context. i don't think she really answered. "time" magazine, sue palin is a wonderful legal affairs writer, meet the sotomayor ours, which is me both sides how can she be speeches that her record is judicial restraint. it is true i think conservatives judicial activism is usually described as liberal i think that over plans by calling her a reverse racist. she was almost in a weird way getting a sympathy vote at this point to make in the media to do diligence tickets and i think they tried. 583 questions later we still didn't know very much about her judicial philosophy or the incendiary comment because she just walked away from it. if she says gee, i didn't really mean that and it was just a rhetorical source, when she made the point that she said it repeatedly but now she doesn't say it, where to go with it or it may have nowhere to go.ft >> she said it ater least five times. >> after clarence thomas was presented in the media, is that why you don't really get anything out of the supreme cou

. >> with the ball in her court, sotomayor who could become the first latino justice faces the senate judiciary committee where her story has drawn praise from democrats. >> i have seldom in my lifetime seen a story that equals her story. >> and her judicial philosophy has brought scrit criticism from some republicans. >> i don't think we want people on the bench who are routing for one side or the other. >> the court of appeals is where policy is made. i know i should never say that. >> it's comments like these and when she said a wise latino woman would reach a better conclusion than a white male that are expected to generate the most controversy and there's a ruling in a reverse discrimination case involving a group of connecticut firefighters that was recently overturned. >> this is just proof positive that people should be treated as individuals and not statistics. >> that was a plaintiff in the firefighter case. he's one of about 30 witness who's will be testifying during the hearings later in the week. lisa? >> walk us through the hearings. how is it going to work this week? >>

. >> if confirmed sotomayor will be the first latino on the court. she would replace justice david souter who retired last month. >>> we just learned this morning in germany a man deported from the united states is charged with 27,900 counts of being an accessory to murder. they retihad those charges file today. he's accused of being a guard at a camp in poland. he denies the charges and says he was a prisoner of war at that time. >>> did dick cheney break the law while he was vice president? a source says the justice department is considering investigating him because of a secret cia counterterrorism program. senator die an feinstein says the new cia chief believes cheney ordered the cia to hide the program from congress. she says that's against the law. the former vice president has not commented. >>> the u.s. will spend another $1 billion on a swine flu vaccine. the health and human services secretary announces it today. she says a vaccine to fight it will be ready by october. there are concerns it could hit hard they are fall. the cdc says 211 pe

they got sotomayor to back away from the wise latino comment from obama's empathy comment. the republicans accomplished a lot in these hearings. lot in these hearings. >> harry hits i president obama: i took a trip to elkhart, indiana, today. elkhart's a place that has lost jobs faster than anywhere else in america. the unemployment rate went from 4.7% to 15.3%. in fact, local tv stations have started running public service announcements that tell people where to find food banks... even as the food banks don't have enough to meet the demand. as we speak, similar scenes are playing out in cities and towns across america. >> back live. houston powers lower right, ann coulter lower left. dick is on the top left. here's my theory. nobody wants to talk about the moral scandals sanford, edwards and the rest of it. i believe these recent sex scandals have undermine the moral authority of the conservative family values and has made them less effective in terms of situations like judge sotomayor or even opposing president obama on healthcare: >> ridiculous. t sotomayor is part of a

if the first latino would have been the guy that the democrat'' filibuster.f they turn around and did this to this woman, it is a double standard for these democrats. they are ruining our country. host: what comments? caller: sotomayor, for one of them. they are ruining the country. call congress and tell them we don't want any of this stuff. guest: george, let me respond to what i think was one of the points you were making which is that judge sotomayor has been reported to have made this comment in a speech that a wise latina brings a certain better understanding of issues than someone else might bring to the table. and i think she addressed that question directly yesterday in a number of ways as a result of questions asked by members of the committee. i think she backed away from the statement in saying the following that, look, it was an art -- all were moment, she was trying to make a rhetorical point and it fell flat, and she concedes -- concedes that. but the larger question is she is saying, look, everybody brings part of their cultural background to

and she talks about statistics and that is how few latinos are on the bench. it comes from an article i wrote in reports to the statistics that she used. i bring that up because it is inherent in that analysis of her. it is the notion there ought to be proportional representation on judicial some, that we ought to be selecting judges based on race, ethnicity and gender and ought to have more or less representation. i have to say that that i think comes close to arguing for a position that she had to take when she was with the poor rican legal the offense education fund. by the way to is not just on the board. she actually cents a memorandum somoza and the record. i cited some instances without american testimony. on the point is that if there is so-called and reminiscent nation of some groups in means it is over representation of others. what i said in my testimony that we are concerned about the number of latino judges. the person you need to do to see a judge is a have a law degree and, in fact, just using the judge sotomayor's of statistics that anything if
