President Obama has made his pick to the Supreme Court, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. She is the first Latina to be nominated to the Court. The Manhattan born Sotomayor has ruled in some high profile cases, such as the case that ended the 1995 baseball strike, and ruled in the case in which the creators of the film Philadelphia were sued by the AIDS victims family. Looking at her bio and rulings, she appears to be straight down the middle, but of course that is not how the right-wing will paint her. Fox News has already suggested her nomination is only to appease the far-left, and her record does not demonstrate that. Still residing in Manhattan and owning a condo in Greenwich Village, the right will try to label her a Liberal Activist. Her appointment in 1992 by George H.W. Bush and began her commission the following day. She again was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1998.Based on her rulings, she appears to be a good choice for SCOTUS
