My Question for Justice Sotomayor

The nominee will begin answering questions today (in between overlong speeches from the senators). The question I'd love to have answered:

"Judge, I want you to put yourself in my role. You're asked to confirm a nominee for the Supreme Court who has said repeatedly over the course of decades that he hopes that a wise white man, with the wealth of his experiences, would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a Latina woman who hasn't lived that life. How would you view that statement that doesn't just express that there are differences between men and women, but that one is better than the other? Would you want him to clarify it or retract it? Would you ultimately--assuming for the sake of the hypothetical that he is otherwise qualified--vote to confirm the nominee?"
