Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor leans to uphold the McCain-Feingold law of 2002 - Restrictions on Corporate Spending in Elections
The McCain-Feingold law bans the broadcast, cable or satellite transmission of “electioneering communications” paid for by corporations in the 30 days before a presidential primary and in the 60 days before the general election.
This finance law was applied to the documentary “Hillary: The Movie,” which was produced by a nonprofit advocacy corporation called Citizens United. This Citizen United is asking a reversal of the law because according to them banning corporate contributions during a political campaign violate First Amendment rights.
Sonia Sotomayor, the last appointed Justice in the Supreme Court is beginning to look like a Liberal. It appears that she doesn't want Big Corporations to spend unlimited amounts of Money on Elections, supporting candidates, advertising, propaganda, etc ...

A few firsts at Supreme Court hearing on campaign finance
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-ticket13-2009sep13,0,6823941.story
Some excerpts :
Sonia Sotomayor, the first Latina justice and President Obama's first high court appointment, spoke her first words from the bench. And the world took note.
By all accounts, she jumped right into questioning. She appeared skeptical of arguments by Citizens United that the conservative group's 90-minute campaign-era movie about Clinton ("Not a musical comedy," observed Justice Stephen G. Breyer) was protected speech. And she questioned Olson about why he had abandoned a former argument -- that Citizens United was not really a corporation -- for a more sweeping one, that campaign funding restrictions discriminate against corporations.
Upbraided by several Republican senators during her confirmation hearings about the importance of respecting court precedents, she asked Olson why he seemed so intent on toppling it in this case. Her first words:
"Mr. Olson, are you giving up on your earlier arguments that there are ways to avoid the constitutional question to resolve this case? I know that we asked for further briefing on this particular issue of overturning two of our court's precedents. But are you giving up on your earlier arguments that there are statutory interpretations that would avoid the constitutional question?"
His answer: No.

Sotomayor Gets Opening Toss at Yankee Stadium
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/09/22/sotomayor-gets-opening-toss-at-yankee-stadium/
Some excerpts :
The Supreme Court’s newest member, a Bronx native, will toss the ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon, before the New York Yankees take on their rivals, the Boston Red Sox.
Justice Sotomayor’s pitch will be part of the Yankees’ celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. On Friday, Ricardo Martinelli, the president of Panama, will throw out the first pitch at the new Yankee Stadium, which opened earlier this year.
“Having Justice Sotomayor, a South Bronx native, participate in our yearly Hispanic Heritage Month celebration is very exciting, as she is an inspiration to so many,” Manuel García, the Yankees’ director of Latino Affairs, said in a statement. “We are proud to welcome her and President Martinelli to our new home.”
The Supreme Court begins its next term on Oct. 5.
