Obama selects Sotomayor

President Obama, perhaps in an effort to get everyone quickly back in the swing of things after Memorial Day weekend, has decided to nominate federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sotomayor, who has served on the 2nd Circuit for over a decade, would be the nation's first Hispanic justice.

And, happily for Woman, Esq., would add another woman to the Court.

The New York Times has compiled the background information here, only the first of many stories and speculations on Judge Sotomayor's future as a Supreme Court Justice.
