President Obama has picked a Hispanic woman, Sonia Sotomayor, to serve on the Supreme Court; she currently sits on the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and is from the Bronx. The New York Times has a collection of Statements on Sotomayor’s Nomination, and an article about her life history: ‘Kid From the Bronx’ With Hopes and Doubts.

Fox News, of course, has already published an attack piece: Sotomayor — Obama’s Nominee Spouts Biased Views on Race and Gender.
