WASHINGTON (AP) - Officials tell The Associated Press that President Barack Obama intends to nominate federal appeals court judge Sonia Sotomayor (SUHN'-ya soh-toh-my-YOR') as the first Hispanic to serve on the Supreme Court. Sotomayor, 54, would succeed retiring Justice David Souter if confirmed by the Senate. The officials spoke to AP on condition of anonymity because Obama has not yet announced his decision

A friend who was a classmate of Sotomayor said that she was an unremarkable , even dull, student.
LOL! Funniest thing I've read in a while!
She looks like Hugo Chavez in a wig! Maybe she was picked to make Rith Buzzy Ginsberg seems reasonable.
Thanks. Shows you how far we’ve fallen as a nation.
That’s an insult to Chavez, LOL
No doubt. The Senate Republicans can't really do jack about it -- they can't filibuster, not after all these years of demanding A Quick Up Or Down Vote[tm] on GOP nominees....
Whoa. She really said that? That idiot sure is full of herself.
Sometimes, FR resembled a Beavis and Butt-head fan forum.
Yeah, not really a trifecta --more like a grand slam homerun... the bases are loaded and she brings them all home...
... heh heh heh... heh heh heh ... you said Butt-head...
-”-more like a grand slam homerun... the bases are loaded and she brings them all home...”
Yeah, and its game 7 of the world series because she is PROUD of her lack of judgement - she actually said on a recorded show that “I know I shouldnt say this but the courts are really where policy is established”
As such, she has declared war on the seperation of govt.
Well, at least she’s more manly than Souter...
Do you have evidence that it is?
“AB Princeton, Yale Law, appoined to the Federal bench by Bush 41, elevated to the second district Court of Appeals by Slick Willy. Shes not been a bombthrower and qualifications are hard to dispute.”
Do you recall if this is the one, according to recent reports, who said that sometimes rather than ruling according to the constitution a judge has to look inward and do the right thing, or some other similar bilge?
“Do you have evidence that it is?”
No but do you have evidence that she isn’t?
Actually they can and should. (Of course the two RINOs from Maine will not support a filibuster, so it is a moot point.)
My Gaydar detects a beard marriage.
actually, we’re just replacing one gay judge with another, aren’t we?
I believe it was in deference to Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan D-NY. GHWB wouldn’t have picked her himself.
Sotomayor is Lesbian but as closeted as David Souter. You won’t see her at a gay pride parade but she will will have a live in female assistant that the stooge media will not touch (my assessment)
