Sotomayor es una jueza federal de los Estados Unidos; tiene 54 a\u00f1os de edad, es hija de padres puertorrique\u00f1os, naci\u00f3 en el Bronx de Nueva York y se gradu\u00f3 como abogada en la Universidad de Yale. <\/p>\n<p>Para llegar a la Corte, Sotomayor debe obtener la confirmaci\u00f3n del Senado. All\u00ed tiene el apoyo del Partido Dem\u00f3crata y, en principio, no cuenta con la simpat\u00eda de los republicanos. Sin embargo, estos \u00faltimos se encuentran en una situaci\u00f3n inc\u00f3moda y eso debido a que si no apoyan la candidata de Obama, que es latina, pierden buena parte de los votos que todav\u00eda les quedan en la comunidad hispana.<\/p>\n<p>Por eso, Sotomayor parece tener todas las posibilidades de ganar en el Senado. Las cr\u00edticas que ha recibido hasta el momento son casi irrelevantes (que en una conferencia hace algunos a\u00f1os dijo que los jueces a veces crean derecho; o que tambi\u00e9n dijo que ella piensa que una jueza latina entiende mejor los casos de minor\u00edas que un juez blanco\u2026 en s\u00edntesis, nimiedades). <\/p>\n<p>Pero Sonia Sotomayor todav\u00eda no tiene su puesto asegurado. Son muchos los republicanos que en este momento est\u00e1n dedicados a escudri\u00f1ar hasta los m\u00e1s m\u00ednimos detalles de su hoja de vida, con la esperanza de encontrar algo impresentable, un esc\u00e1ndalo, incluso algo personal, que la derrumbe ante los ojos de la opini\u00f3n p\u00fablica.<\/p>\n<p>Qu\u00e9 diferencia con la manera como se nombran los magistrados de la c\u00fapula judicial en Colombia. Aqu\u00ed, el Presidente no siente el menor escr\u00fapulo en escoger candidatos que no tienen experiencia judicial, ni m\u00e9ritos para desempe\u00f1ar el cargo (para no hablar de asuntos m\u00e1s delicados). Peor a\u00fan, a la gran mayor\u00eda de los ciudadanos les tiene sin cuidado que el Presidente haga eso.<\/p>\n<p>El abuso del poder nominador del Presidente y, en general, la falta de transparencia en la nominaci\u00f3n y elecci\u00f3n de los altos funcionarios del Estado, s\u00f3lo pueden evitarse si los medios de comunicaci\u00f3n y la ciudadan\u00eda se toman en serio \u2014mucho m\u00e1s en serio\u2014 la tarea de escudri\u00f1ar a fondo el pasado de los candidatos y de evaluar sus competencias para desempe\u00f1ar los cargos.<\/p>\n<p>Muchas veces copiamos cosas de los Estados Unidos que no deber\u00edamos copiar. En este caso, deber\u00edamos imitar no s\u00f3lo la costumbre pol\u00edtica y ciudadana de investigar a fondo la hoja de vida y las ideas de los candidatos para ocupar altos cargos p\u00fablicos, sino tambi\u00e9n la reciente pr\u00e1ctica de nombrar miembros destacados de las minor\u00edas. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being appointed to the US Supreme Court is almost as big an honor as being buried in the Panth\u00e9on in France.
