Of course, Obama's Supreme Court nominee denies it even as she scrambles to back away from her unethical behavior.

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resigned Friday from an elite all-women's club after Republicans questioned her participation in it. Sotomayor said she resigned from the Belizean Grove to prevent the issue from becoming a distraction in her confirmation hearings.

In a letter to Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the federal appeals court judge said she is convinced that the club does not practice "invidious discrimination" and that her membership in it did not violate judicial ethics.

But she said she didn't want questions about it to "distract anyone from my qualifications and record."

Federal judges are bound by a code that says they shouldn't join any organization that discriminates by race, sex, religion or nationality.

Unfortunately, as I pointed out the other day, it is impossible to conclude that the Belizean Grove -- like its all-male counterpart, the Bohemian Grove -- is anything other than an organization that engages in invidious discrimination. If Sotomayor truly believed otherwise, she would not feel the need to quit -- indeed, she would maintain her membership and offer a defense of her membership.

So let's go down the list -- racism, sexism, unethical conduct, and free speech douchbaggery. It is clear that Sonia Sotomayor not only should not be confirmed to the United States Supreme Court, but she is also unfit to sit as a judge on any court in the United States.
