I suppose this is meant to shut up conservatives who are concerned that ‘equal justice under the law’ will not apply under Obama’s nominee for a lifetime appointment to the highest court:

At the tail end of a more than hour-long press briefing White House press secretary made a stunning admission about the administration’s Supreme Court pick while discussing her controversial 2001 speech.

“I think she’d say that her word choice in 2001 was poor,” Gibbs said of Sonia Sotomayor’s argument that a “wise Latina woman” would reach better conclusions than white men. “She was simply making the point that personal experiences are relevant to the process of judgment, that your personal experiences have a tendency to make you more aware of certain facts in certain cases, that your experiences impact your understanding. I think we’d all agree with that.”

Here’s an idea. How about if the hack that made the comments explain them. Or apologize for them.
