Sotomayor political circus pulls into D.C.

Thanks to Supreme Court Justice David Souter's retirement, our nation’s capital will not need a visit from the Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey's three-ring extravaganza. President Barack Obama’s nomination of 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor, a Latina woman who appears to share his judicial philosophy, to fill Souter’s seat on the bench promises a summer of nonstop entertainment, courtesy of a hyperactive and overabundant media fueled by the histrionics of liberal and conservative fringes alike.
