| #20 Well, the story is about AOC, so it's not a correction. Just a clarification, or something. 😁 |

| #17 This was a different Unwise Latina Wait! Are you suggesting that all Unwise Latinas look alike? Personally, I consider them all interchangeable, differing only in their degree of uselessness. |

| #16 I think the Wise Latina™'s name came up because she was the 1 in 8-1. |

| #15 I used to think that Sotomayor was a just a believer in a "Living Constitution". Now, I think she's a believer in a "Hypothetical Future Constitution". |

| #13 And there's a constitutional provision to allow territories to be treated different than states, per the article. What part of upholding the Constitution does Sotomayor not understand? |

| #11 "Imperialist"! Wow--haven't heard that particular epithet since aboaut 1969. Are we resurrecting it again since all the other insults have lost their meaning from overrepetition? |

| #9 My wife a PR indian from the Junta (sp) mountain area. Her comment was... Why not just turn PR loose and let it be its own nation? It would save US taxpayers and butt load of money each year. |

| #8 OMG! How will they ever get over this? Probably by voting to reject statehood once again. If memory serves, there have been at least 2 referenda where PR voted to *not* apply for statehood. |

| #7 At this point why do we want to keep Puerto Rico? Nothing but a money pit. Declare them independent and be done with that shithole |

| #6 Statehood would make NM the 4th poorest state, a drop from 3rd. |

| #5 Ref #3: Precisely why they'll never vote become a state or a separate country. It's the Chicago, D.C., and NYC of the Caribbean. |

| #3 PR citizens are exempt from USA income taxes, estate taxes and excise taxes but are eligible for Social Security and Medicare it is a great deal but the Island has wallowed in corruption and incompetence ruining its economy |
