Supreme Sotomayor? We Knew That!
By Wink
So Sonia Sotomayor is the Supreme Court nominee? Are you surprised? Not if your read Winkest Link. We called that more than two weeks ago. (“Supreme Court Pick” May 12, 2009)
Did our moles give us the inside scoop? Are we clairvoyant or did deductive reasoning lead us to that conclusion? What difference does it make? If you want the real deal, the most logical analysis of the goings-on in the good old U.S. of A., then you MUST come to the Winkest Link.
That said…
A difficult background does not automatically qualify you to be a member of the Supreme Court, but the life story of Judge Sotomayor is compelling:
Both of her parents are Puerto Rican. She was born in the Bronx. Her father died when she was nine, and she was raised by her mother in a very difficult environment.
In spite of those obstacles, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from Princeton. (“Perry Mason” was her favorite TV show growing up.) She received her J.D. from Yale Law School, where she was editor at the Yale Law Journal.
She was an Assistant District Attorney in New York before entering private practice in 1984. Sotomayor was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush in 1991.
Some conservatives are assailing her, and some liberals don’t believe in her either, but they must be on the extremes, because Sotomayor has been considered by both Democratic and Republican presidents as a potential Supreme Court candidate.
Her “Perry Mason” dream has come true and YOU READ IT HERE FIRST.
