Sotomayor Says White House Even Picked Out Her Clothes
NBC Conneticut ^ | Mon, Oct 19, 2009 | AP

Posted on 10/19/2009 9:40:18 AM PDT by NMEwithin

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's nomination process was so controlled that the White House even approved her clothes, she told Yalies when she appeared at her 30th Yale Law School reunion on Saturday.

Sotomayor described her grueling nomination process privately when she spoke to 1,800 alumni, students and faculty , the New Haven Register reports.

State Sen. Ed Meyer attended the event and said Sotomayor became teary at times, but kept the crowd laughing.

The Yale Law School grad talked about shopping for clothes to wear to her acceptance ceremony, but government officials took over the fashion decisions. They told her to bring five suits and then recommended which one she should wear, Meyer said.

I suspect Michelle’s ego is so large that she picks out her own clothes(except on the few occasions where she looks half decent)and wears what she wants. She is not the fashion queen the SRM makes her out to be, that is for sure(nor is she the beauty that they try to claim either).

Tell us, Justice Sotomayor, will the WH also be picking out your opinions?

Not even the fashion police can remedy fashion DOA.

“Gosh....I wonder who in the White House makes these decisions? If Michelle had the final say, then Sonia would certainly look like a circus clown.”

I was thinking that if the someone in the White House made the decisions on Sotomayor’s clothes, then they should have that person help Michelle. At least Sotomayor looked better than Michelle often does!

“Remembere the big deal made about the campaign dressing Palin?”

Oh yeah...and didn’t the press go nuts?!

Obama and his minions want to CONTROL EVERYTHING...yet the libs think it will never happen to them. Somehow they will be spared the government running every aspect of their lives, while only those ‘right winged gun toting nuts’ will be subject to government intrusion. This also just shows you how superficial Obama and his whole administration really is. Everything is fake,a media campaign,a ‘staged’ event(like the doctors in white coats last week....lol).

PATHETIC!

I’m sure they’ll help her with her decisions too. Remember: Being Democrat means you don’t have to be very bright to get where you are. The only thing that counts is to be the right color or sex.

I’m guessing they will be writing her “opinions” for her as well. They won’t let her go too far from the plantation.

The confirmation process was a cakewalk compared to what any Republican goes through. That goes without saying. Grueling nomination process? What did Obama do to the poor girl?!!

Apparently he was picking out (and probably trying on) her clothes!

They need someone to dress Michelle, fer Pete’s Sake! The Empress has no clothes!

And why no concern over this from the left? What a stink they made when Sarah’s campaign bought her and the kids a few outfits. Yeesh!
