"Empathy and Judicial Picks Rarely Mix on Capitol Hill"

"Empathy and Judicial Picks Rarely Mix on Capitol Hill": This article appears today in The Washington Post. In addition, Christina L. Boyd and Lee Epstein have an op-ed entitled "When Women Rule, It Makes a Difference."

Yesterday's edition of The Boston Globe contained articles headlined "Obama may break with tradition for high court pick; Retirement of Souter opens opportunities"; "Souter surprised conservatives; Repeatedly sided with liberal wing"; and "Home is where his heart is; Souter eschews power for a small N.H. town."

The New York Daily News reported yesterday that "Bronx judge Sonia Sotomayor would be first Latina on Supreme Court if she replaces Justice Souter."

And McClatchy Newspapers have articles headlined "Obama likely to get nominee he wants for Supreme Court"; "Souter: A low-profile justice who frequently dissents"; and "Liberal or not, Souter's departure will remake court."
