Sotomayor's Reportedly Unscripted "Wise Latina" Remark Originally Made in 1994

Judge Sotomayor’s supporters have claimed her remark on “wise Latinas” reaching “better conclusions” by virtue of their ethnicity and experience was “unscripted,” but “that comment was from the prepared text of a speech that Sotomayor then published as a law-review article. Now it turns out that Sotomayor made substantially similar comments in a 1994 speech.”
