Obama taps Second Circuit's Sonia Sotomayor for SCOTUS

Posted by Scott "The Piper" St. Clair - May 26, 2009

Who? 
 
Judge Sonia Sotomayor currently sits as a federal appeals judge on the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City.  The Second Circuit is one of the most influential appellate courts in the federal system.
 
You can read a thorough and impartial bio of Judge Sotomayor at Judgepedia.org. Included is the news of her appointment by Pres. Obama and comments from across the political spectrum made by attorneys, legal scholars, and court watchers of all stripes.
 
I've been of the opinion for many years that the two most important consequences of electing this or that candidate to the office of President of the United States are national security and nominating federal judges.  We'll now get to see first hand just how the latter will play out. Indeed, the stakes are high.
 
How high?  Watch this then post your thoughts...
