AP source: Obama picks Sotomayor for Supreme Court
By BEN FELLER
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.

Here's a good read:
The Dynamic of the Nomination of Sonia Sotomayor
We're going to be hearing a lot about the Ricci case.

Well nothing can be done to stop the nomination.
I doubt that a no vote by Republicans will do any more long term damage than Dems voting against Roberts or Alitio or Thomas.
As to the Rcici case puniushing 21st century whites for old societal "ills" is not a good way to ease whatever effects of "racism" exist but it does strengthen the base.
A different and more lenienbt set of laws for black people shouldn't be the goal of the supreme court.
IMO.
And narrowing a search to women and Hispanics.....
Well just imagine.

Wasnt this his first overall pick when he first knew about Justice Souter retiring.
Obama wont have any opposition in confirmation, At this point he can pass anything or anybody, he could of selected Pee Wee Herman.

It isn't that bad. There still have to be a few dems who take things seriously.

I wonder if the whites who failed the test are still in the running for promotions??

Poor white men. When will they ever get a fair shake in this country?

You tell 'em Heck.
Though I'm surprised that you espouse the genetic inferiority theory of the Klan.....
That hair shirt of yours ever get itchy?

Well, she may very well be a finer judge that some folks think.
I don't see her as being a blatant judicial activist, contrary to her
statement about a certain court "making law".
She didn't mean to condone that, I read.
If she's a better judge than Souter, we should be fine.
I applaud Obama for not nominating Angela Davis.
BRAVO !
-
And Hispanics are overwhelmingly pro life.
She just may pull a switch on the liberals on more than a few issues..

Steve, our very own Joe the Plumber.
What is this nonsense you're spouting now? I think Hispanics are genetically inferior, much like the Klan? Delightful.
You got all that from what I just wrote? How insightful.
Here's a question for you: in a country that is 50% female, 15% Hispanic, and 13.5% black, would you have any problem with all nine Supreme Court Justices being white men?

I read that as Steve did....you don't think white men get a fair shake in this country.

Heck, our very own Janeane Garafalo.
I know your scope is limited Heck but Alo had 2 things in his post.
One was the Ricci case.
Then you attacked white people for daring to copmplain that minorities get extra help in a job search.
I know it's all a blur to you.
I just assumed you meant minorities were actually inferior and needed special assistance to gain meaningful employment.
No?
And answering your question I say no.
Are you upset that there aren't even more women?
Why?

"I just assumed you meant minorities were actually inferior and needed special assistance to gain meaningful employment.
No?"
That made me laugh. I love your "No?" statements. Never fail to amuse.
"I just assumed that meant you hate Jews in your spare time. No?"
As for your answer, that's what I figured you'd say.

Good. Your stunted sense of humor is tough to please. Gosh there might have been another reason to think so poorly of people.
"I just assumed that meant you hate Jews in your spare time. No?"
No. I hate Muslims. Don't you remember?
As for your answer, that's what I figured you'd say.
And as for your pointedly missing answer I counted on that too.
Wanna try again?
I ask YOU Heck.
Are you offended by the fact the SC is NOT at least 4 women?
\Why or why not?
WSS
~facetious remark for you to ignore~
"Heck is offended ONLY if Obama tells him to be."
-
No, I don't feel that there needs to be exactly four women on the court. Nor is it a matter of being "offended".
-
I don't know the significance of this....
but it's surprising..

President Obama announced he will nominate U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Do you think she was a good choice?
Thanks for your vote.

My guess is that it signifies that the readers of the WashTimes online is even further Right than those of the print version.

Cal, how many times do we have to explain the difference between scientific polling and online polls like these?
We must have gone over this at least three times already.
