Obama selects Judge Sotomayor for U.S. Supreme Court

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Obama on Tuesday nominated federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Sonia Sotomayor on Tuesday calls her nomination to the high court "the most humbling honor of my life." Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic and third female U.S. Supreme Court justice if confirmed. Obama announced the nomination Tuesday morning in the East Room of the White House. "Thank you, Mr. President, for the most humbling honor of my life," Sotomayor said. "My heart is bursting with gratitude," she said. She gave special recognition to her mother, who was sitting in the audience. "I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences," Sotomayor said. Obama called Sotomayor "an inspiring woman who I believe will make a great justice." She "has worked at almost every level of our judicial system, providing her with a depth of experience and a breath of perspective that will be invaluable as a Supreme Court justice," he added.

  1. Congratulations to all Women

    Now, all Minorities should stand firm behind Sonia Sotomayor and support her nomination.

    National Organization for Women : "We celebrate the Nomination of Sonia Sotomayor and we launch a campaign to ensure the Swift Confirmation of Sotomayor as Next Supreme Court Justice"

    Mr Obama has shown courage and bravery. He is no coward before the Violence and Racism of Republicans.

    So let us support Sonia Sotomayor and let us put all our force of little ants to push for her approval and appointment in Congress.

  2. Fox News is in a big campaign to discredit Sonia Sotomayor, using the most Idiotic Republican Clowns, that are presented like Great Jurists and Experts. ( interviewed by Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Laura Ingraham, etc ..)

    The Kernel and Nucleus of American Politics is Race and Racism, or in other words Minorities and the Destiny of Minorities. Everything revolves around Minorities, like planets around the sun.

    Enter Fox News and you are hypnotized, mesmerized, suggested and hinted, nonstop 24hours/7days :

    That Minorities are lazy, that they live on Welfare, that American Values are destroyed by Minorities. That Western Civilization is doomed if Minorities have some Progress. That Minorities and Foreigners are incapable of Civilization ( Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly ), that Mexicans, Latinos, Africans, etc ... are dangerous lepers with syphilis and other venereals.

    They do not tell those lies outright but are always suggesting them in the most Hyprocrital way.

    Some people like Glenn Beck speak as if they were the owners of "God" and with a very personal relation to "God" .... and I use quotes for "God" because that is not a Good God but an idiot God created by the deranged mind of a child that was raised in a dysfunctional family as Glenn Beck candidly admits. There may be a Good God, but that is not the God of Fox News Hyprocritally promoted by Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Bill O'Reilly, etc ...

    Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes are most boring, even if they are not so stupid and idiotic as the other mentioned guys. Unfortunately Charles and Fred use their intelligence and culture to be boring, tiring. With all due respect I call Charles and Fred, the Mummy and the Zombie.

    One rare and extraordinary day Juan Williams ( the Black Guy ) spoke up against them and stood up to say that Republicans were degenerating into a White Race Party that did not understand Minorities.

    My opinion of Juan Williams changed 180 degrees after that speech. I know that Charles Krauthammer and Fred Barnes are highly respected in American Journalism. But for me they are dead corpses with a lot of cobwebs. I do not dislike them like Glen, or Bill, or Sean, or Laura. But my only use for Charles and Fred is to combat insomnia.
