Obama on Sotomayor Nomination
5:01 pm By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Justice| Obama| Politics
26 May 2009This just in via email from the Obama camp: the official statement about the Sotomayor nomination:
As La Macha mentioned in her previous post about the Sotomayor appointment, the romanticism around the parents who worked around the clock to get the judge where she is today is a big part of the rhetoric, and echoed in the Obama statement.
Either way, this appointment is, to me, the only (albeit ineffective) salve for my disgust over the Prop 8 ruling.
