Apparently, no one told Sonia Sotomayor that Supreme Court justices are supposed to be circumspect, emerging from their marble palace mainly to dispense legal wisdom to law schools, judges' conferences and lawyers' meetings. Since becoming the first Hispanic justice, Sotomayor has mamboed with movie stars, exchanged smooches with musicians at the White House and thrown out the first pitch for her beloved New York Yankees. A famous jazz composer even wrote a song about her: "Wise Latina Woman." In short, Sotomayor has become a celebrity — all without having made a single major decision at the nation's highest court. It's not that other justices ... Read Full Story

Sonia Sotomayor heeded White House advice to paint her fingernails a neutral shade during her Supreme Court confirmation process — up to a point. At a White House reception after her confirmation, Sotomayor showed her freshly painted red nails to President Barack Obama, along with her red-and-black semi-hoop earrings, according to an article in the new issue of Latina magazine to be released Nov. 17. Obama joked that Sotomayor had been briefed on proper nail color and earring size. "Mr. President, you have no idea what you've unleashed," Sotomayor replied, according to the article by her close friend Sandra Guzman, who was at the ... Read Full Story

(Getty Images | Composite by Zimbio.com) The confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nomineee Sonia Sotomayor continued Tuesday in the same general malaise as Monday's snore-o-rama . The takeaway? Sotomayor is probably in. But out of those hours of boredom, we were gifted with 2 pretty awesome moments. First, Sen. Chuck Grassley laid on a little sexual innuendo as he suggested that when he speaks, people get "excited." Then later, Judge Sotomayor had to explain what nunchucks (or nunchaku) are and why they're dangerous! Sotomayor was called upon by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) to explain why she ruled in favor of upholding a New York ... Read Full Story

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor says her nomination process was so tightly scripted that even her clothes were chosen for her. Sotomayor made the comments when she appeared at her 30th Yale Law School reunion on Saturday. The New Haven Register reports that Sotomayor spoke to 1,800 alumni, students and faculty, describing her recent grueling nomination process. State Sen. Ed Meyer was among those in attendance. He says Sotomayor became teary at times but kept the crowd laughing. He says Sotomayor talked about shopping for clothes to wear to her acceptance ceremony. Government officials, however, told her to bring five suits and they recommended ... Read Full Story

I was one of those who opposed the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, mainly because the pick was based on race and gender rather than merit and she was disingenuous and obfuscatory at her confirmation hearings. Well, the Court still hasn’t decided any cases argued with Justice Sotomayor on the bench — and the first [...]
