President Bush nominates U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska of the Southern District of New York to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, but not before she receives "high-five" from Borat: You can view the formal announcement of yesterday's nomination at this link.

And, in related news, The Associated Press reports that "Glorious judge for make benefit 'Borat' filmmakers." The article begins, "A New York judge has tossed out lawsuits brought by a driving instructor and two etiquette school teachers who said the makers of the movie 'Borat' deceived them. Judge Loretta Preska says all three accepted money and signed agreements releasing the filmmakers from liability."

I have posted at this link a copy of last week's ruling from Judge Preska dismissing these three Borat-related lawsuits.
