Does the government really think we won't research its lies?

Sonia Sotomayor is being hailed as potentially being the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. That didn't sound right to me, so I did a little research and found that in 1932, Herbert Hoover successfully nominated Benjamin Cardozo, who served until 1938. His heritage is traced back to Spain, which does qualify him as Hispanic, although he is primarily regarded as Jewish in heritage. I actually don't think Sotomayor's heritage will be her strength or her shortfall, but rather her desire to legislate from the judicial branch. When I was in elementary school, I remember studying about the three branches of government and how they were supposed to check and balance eachother. With a liberal President interested in promulgating a socialist agenda, a likewise liberal congress whose spending abilities have been taking America down the road to bankruptcy for decades, and now a liberal-leaning Court that will most likely set their agenda rather than simply interpreting the constitution, there are no checks and balances anymore.
