LETTER: Sonia Sotomayor, retirement and race

I am most disheartened by Ruben Navarrette’s April 17 e-commentary in support of Justice Sonia Sotomayor. I wonder how he might feel if Justice Sotomayor were white or Black or Asian? Using race in his defense of her tenure rather than the depth of her opinions? The color of your skin does not define your character or competence. Using race to justify or condemn the action of others is simply wrong and, some would say, the definition of racism. This must end. We are all one people.

LETTER: Trump tries to win Nevada

Mr. Trump advocating for tax-free tip income is definitely one approach to winning Nevada. But my tip to Mr. Trump is to pick Marco Rubio and show the diversity of the GOP.

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

LETTER: Russian warships off the Florida coast

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.
