President Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor as his pick to replace Justice Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court.   *Trumpet Sound* — Let the games begin!  Although it appears Sotomayor will be confirmed by the Senate, we will begin to see Republican Presidential hopefuls rise to the top of the “spoiled” cream the part has represented as of late.   Keep an eye on those in the Senate that vote “no” to Sotomayor, because in the political game of life — her capabilities are irrelevent, her standing unimportant, and her world view becomes the only thing that matters.  why?  ’Cause thats how they roll in Washington.   We invite you to defend your vote!
