"Sotomayor resigns from women’s club
WASHINGTON - Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resigned yesterday 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.
But she's a hard-scrabble Hispanic who worked her way up.
Is there NOTHING the MSM won't DISTORT?
In a letter to Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Senator 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.’’
Yeah, you wouldn't want that coming up as a subject!
Federal judges are bound by a code that says they shouldn’t join any organization that discriminates by race, sex, religion, or nationality. The Belizean Grove bills itself as women’s answer to the 130-year-old all-male Bohemian Club in California.

Bunch of evil sickies!
The club owns a 2,500-acre camping area in northern California called the Grove. Chief Justice Earl Warren belonged to the Bohemian Club beginning in the 1940s, before he joined the court and long before the federal judiciary adopted a code of conduct.
Of ALL the ATTENDEES that have been there -- from Nixon to Reagan, David Gergen and Henry Kissinger -- the MSM chosses Earl Warren? WTF?
Because he was a Supreme Court justice?
Truthfully, I was SURPRISED to see the Bohemian Grove mentioned at all in my omitting and obscuring paper.
If they ever printed it, I would have seen the words "Bilderberg Group" in their pages, too!
