Judge has stirred controversy by saying that judges' legal findings are informed by their own life experiences as well as their legal research.

New York judge would be the first Supreme Court justice of Hispanic descent and only the third woman ever to sit on the panel.

President Obama this morning will nominate U.S. appeals court Judge Sonia Sotomayor of New York to replace retiring Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court, White House officials said.

If confirmed, Sotomayor, 54, would be the first Supreme Court justice of Hispanic descent and only the third woman ever to sit on the panel. She grew up in a Bronx housing project, went on to Princeton University and Yale Law School, and has stirred controversy by saying that judges' legal findings are informed by their own life experiences as well as their legal research.

Obama, too, has said jurists' life experiences are a key part of their legal makeup. He met Sotomayor in person for the first time Thursday at the White House, administration officials say. After spending the weekend at Camp David, he made his decision to nominate her last night.

Hi. President Bush nominated two constructionists because he could - President Obama will nominate 2-3 judicial activists because he can. It's not brilliance, just a consequence of an election.

I suppose it was also brilliant when the President took a leak this morning without hitting the seat. President Bush nominated two constructionists because he could - President Obama will nominate 2-3 judicial activists because he can. It's not brilliance, just a consequence of an election.
