With Dignity and Grace she served. As a human being, she gave. As one called by God to serve mankind, she did so, beautifully and with personal human touch. She IS and WILL be missed.

From an evacuation in an emergency perspective whatever is required to ensure

(a) the employer can put an evacuation plan in place for each individual,

(b) to ensure additional risk to co workers during an evacuation, i.e. an individual with say claustrophobia trying to evacuation in a crowded stairwell and panicking causing a slowing in evacuation. Or an individual with a vision impairment that in normal office lighting can see sufficiently but under evacuation lighting conditions is effectively blind.

Comment on Is Diabetes a Disability? by Sarah

Isn’t using her medical condition in consideration for confirmation against the constitution? You can’t do that for any other job, so I don’t see why her medical condition is an issue. There have been justices who have been diagnosed with cancer after confirmation and they were not asked to step down (though some have retired) so why does her having Diabetes matter?

For the same reason it shouldn’t be used by the confirmation committee, it shouldn’t be used by those associated with disability groups. This is exactly what we need to fight against. Being singled out for an illness, instead of included. Isn’t this what these groups fought for? It seems a bit backwards to me to know all the sudden put a spotlight on an illness such as Diabetes and say that because she has one disease she can relate to those with disabilities of all kinds. All disabilities are not equal and these groups should know that better than anyone.

Just my opinion.

The White House hasn’t said much about Sotomayor’s diabetes, as outlined in this post: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0709/24778.html

In that article, it is brought up that Sotomayor’s doctor did write a letter on her behalf stating that her diabetes has been very well controlled in the 20 years that he has known her.

Personally, I do not think that Sotomayor’s diabetes should be considered during her confirmation. She has a long history of being a judge and lawyer, and her diabetes has never been an issue.

As to whether she is more sympathetic to the rights of a person with a disability, I believe that she will be… but that is not necessarily just because of her diabetes. I think many things that she has had to overcome and deal with in her life and career have helped her to be an empathetic woman.
