4 reasons I'm glad Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor.

1. Finally, a Supreme Court Justice with a [last] name longer than 3 syllables. (Thanks to downtownlad for noting the possible distinction and my son John Althouse Cohen for confirming it.)

2. Finally, a Hispanic Supreme Court Justice... and we won't have to keep talking about how some day there ought to be a Hispanic Supreme Court Justice.

3. We'll get back to the historical high water mark of women on the Court. Wow! To hit 2 again!

4. Jeffrey Rosen gets his comeuppance.
