New Yorkers, as well as the world, should be very proud of Sonia Sotomayor' Rubies77. That's right New Yorkers and the world, let us be proud. We made it into DC. Obama nominates Sotomayor to Supreme Court - CNN.com

Proud New Yorker.

I like most of her views, but she seems way too caught up in identity politics for me to fully endorse. Ah well, it's too bad that doesn't matter.

I'm not from New York (I'm from Chicago), but my grandfather was from the Bronx. I guess I'm more happy to see a 'city kid' nominated to high office, we need more of those.

that's great news! i'm looking forward to her getting appointed.

Pretty awesome. The first hispanic woman in the Supreme court, and a NYer, which makes it even better

I'm from New York, and I'm not proud of her.

I think she'll make a terrible justice, but that can be expected from our failure of a President, Obama.

Everyone should be proud.

And, this discussion also belongs in the politics room, where it's already being discussed.
