Obama nominates federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court justice


"WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama chose federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor to become the nation's first Hispanic Supreme Court justice on Tuesday, praising her as "an inspiring woman" with both the intellect and compassion to interpret the Constitution wisely."

Intellect is good. How does one interpret the Constitution 'compassionately?' Let's hope the Senate can sort that one out.

"Yo no sé si soy un estadista. Lo que es cierto es que, de la política, lo que me interesa es mandar."
-Manuel Azaña (ex-presidente del segundo república de España)
