Lawyer for far-left LULAC has advice for Republicans re: Sotomayor

Of the opposition response to the Sonia Sotomayor nomination, Luis Vera - National Legal Advisor of the League of United Latin American Citizens says:

"The more they personalize their attack, all I can promise you is that the Latino community will raise such a voice across the country, that it'll be many, many, many years before the Republican party can draw Latinos back into their voting block"...

...Vera says it's acceptable to attack Sotomayor's voting record, and what she's written in her decisions, but it's not fair to pull a few words and use them against her.

"The Republicans need to be careful about how they do this because, yes, without the Latino vote, the Republicans cannot succeed."

See the LULAC link above for more on his group. If the GOP were smart they'd realize that those "few words" are a key part of any opposition to her. They'd make the attacks only based on facts and wouldn't call her names that might not be true. But, they wouldn't shy away from the facts no matter what far-left racial power groups think. Obviously, the GOP and others in their umbrella will go the other direction: they'll concentrate on the name-calling while ignoring things like her memberships in PRLDEF and the National Council of La Raza.
