LULAC Extremely Disappointed With Supreme Court Nomination

The National Board of the League of United Latin American Citizens expressed its tremendous disappointment today with President Bush’s decision not to appoint a Latino to the Supreme Court. After years of intense speculation that President Bush would be the first President to end the 216 year shut-out of Latinos on the Supreme Court, his decision to nominate two non-minorities to the court in quick succession is a major let-down for the Hispanic community. Despite having received a record number of Latino votes in his reelection bid less than a year ago, the President has once again ignored the calls from every major Latino leader, both Republican and Democrat, to appoint a Latino.
