re: #17 Nevergiveup

Judge Sonia Sotomayor, nominated Tuesday by President Barack Obama to fill a vacant Supreme Court seat, is no stranger to the sports world.

Sotomayor helped end the 1995 Major League Baseball strike with a ruling against Major League Baseball owners in their collective bargaining dispute with players, and also was part of a three-judge U.S. Court of Appeals panel that overturned a lower court ruling that temporarily allowed Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett to enter the NFL draft despite the fact he hadn’t been out of high school for three years.

For what it is worth?

Oh my goodness, she’s a sports liberal, the worst kind of liberal. Before you know it we will have woman in football, gays on the PGA tour and midgets playing professional basketball.
