FIRST HISPANIC NOMINATED FOR SUPREME COURT

President Obama chose federal appeals judge Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court justice.  

Sotomayor is the first Hispanic to be nominated for this highest honor;  Sotomayor went to Harvard for her undergraduate and Yale Law School.

The President opined that Sotomayor is "an inspiring woman" and with intellect and compassion to interpret the Constitution wisely, stated reporter Ben Feller.

About President Obama's long decision:

The Caucus reports: "The President reached his decision over the long Memorial Day weekend, aides said, but it was not disclosed until Tuesday morning when he informed his advisers of his choice less than three hours before the announcement was scheduled to take place. The president narrowed his list to four, according to people close to the selection process, including Federal Appeals Judge Diane P. Wood of Chicago, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Solicitor General Elena Kagan. In what may be her best-known ruling, Judge Sotomayor issued an injunction against major league baseball owners in April 1995, effectively ending a baseball strike of nearly eight months, the longest work stoppage in professional sports history, which had led to the cancellation of the World Series for the first time in 90 years."
