Barack Obama has selected Ms. Sonia Sotomayor to replace retiring Justice David Souter on the US Supreme Court. Choosing a female and the first Hispanic-American to the lifetime position on our highest court looks to me more like an act of Political Correctness than a choice based upon judicial rationale. PC mixed with some payback to the US Latinos who supported Obama's bid for the White House. Payback is an important part of the Chicago style.
I was hoping he would pick a Mohammedan Mullah of uncertain gender, preferably somewhat disabled. Now that would be PC!
