New Supreme Court Justice Nominee
Barrack Obama has nominated federal appellate Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court.. If confirmed, she would become the first Hispanic and third woman to take a place at the Supreme Court bench. I wouldn't usually blog about this, but her name is actually a familiar one to me, as it was her ruling that led to the end of the 232-day baseball strike in 1995. If she can help bring baseball back after a cancelled World Series, then surely she can do well on the highest court in the land (even though she's a Yankees fan). :)
