Justice

This is a high point for justice, and I wish her well.

U.S. President Barack Obama tapped U.S. Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court on Tuesday, officials said, making her the first Hispanic in history picked to wear the robes of a justice.

If confirmed by the Senate, Sotomayor, 54, would succeed retiring Justice David Souter. Two officials described Obama's decision on condition of anonymity because no formal announcement had been made.

Administration officials say Sotomayor would bring more judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice confirmed in the past 70 years.

The court has descended to representing injustice and the powers of business, under the past terms of right wing representatives. It is past time for respect for law to retutn to this country.

The law, as the president has stated, is about people, not just paper and pencils.
