Welcome to the USAASP (the “United States Affirmative Action Supreme Court”)!

Unless her taxes are paid properly.

Whatever the current “verdict” on Sotomayor is, I guarantee we will be cursing her name in the future. She will be a leftist activist. No good can come out of this illegal “president”, even by accident.

I'm a little surprised he didn't pick Diane Wood. Soto isn't well like even among Democrats, she's described as something of a megalomaniac.

Which explains why Obama likes/relates to her.

Tax evasion is a plus for potential nominees in the view of most Democrats.

The present Court should decide if 0bama is actually the POTUS, before he starts packing his lefties on it.

Picking a high jumper for the SCOTUS? Never mind, that was Javier Sotomayor from CUBA.

I expected this. Obama is moving to cement the Hispanic vote AND hire another liberal.

From Wiki

Widely considered a political centrist by the American Bar Association Journal and others, Sotomayor was nominated on November 27, 1991, by President George H. W. Bush to a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York vacated by John M. Walker, Jr. (the president’s cousin). She became the youngest judge in the Southern District and the first Hispanic federal judge anywhere in New York State.

Sounds like she will be the most liberal judge on the court and she thinks she makes the laws.

Noonan, Brooks, what say you fools now?

I absolutely agree. Now is the time to do it.
