Judge Sonia Sotomayor~r~r~r

NYT: "President Obama will nominate Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit as his first appointment to the court, officials said Tuesday, and has scheduled an announcement for 10:15 a.m. at the White House."

She'd be the third woman on the bench and the first Latina. As of late she was involved in the Connecticut case over reverse discrimination when no blacks made it past New Haven's firefighter promotion test and the department scrapped the test. Check out her Wikipedia page. As of right now there are nine citations about her possible nomination to the Court.
