A little bit about Sonia Sotomayor who President Obama will OFFICIALLY pick in a couple minutes:

Sotomayor was nominated as a trial judge in New York by President George H.W. Bush in 1991 in a deal with the state’s U.S. senators. She was elevated to the appeals court in 1998 by President Bill Clinton.  She made headlines as a trial judge in 1995 with an order preventing Major League Baseball from using replacement players, ending a nearly year-long strike.  A child of Puerto Rican parents, she grew up in a housing project in the Bronx in New York City. She excelled as a student and graduated from Princeton University and then Yale Law School. Sotomayor, an avid fan of the New York Yankees baseball team, is divorced.

This guy is no ball hog.

This is awesome but just a little correction to note….

The president did not “elect” her, he Nominated her as a supreme court judge. The senate then has to vote and either confirm or reject her appointment. but the president does not elect the judge.
