My current event blog post will be on Obama's nomination of Supreme Court official Sonia Sotomayo. On Thursday, the longest serving Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee said that she will be confirmed--barring any surprises. She will be only the third woman serving on the Supreme Court and the first hispanic. The Judiciary Committee has not yet announced when the hearings will be held. But the Democrats are trying to get her confirmed as soon as possible. The democrats are trying to give Sonia Sotomayoras much preperation time before the high court's next term begins.
