: Legal Pad | LASotomayor Obama's pick for Souter's replacement
By Richard Binder
President Barack Obama, speaking at the White House, said he is
nominating Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace retiring Supreme
Court Justice David Souter. Sotomayor, a judge on the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the 2nd Circuit, would become the first Hispanic justice if
the Senate confirms her nomination.
From the moment on May 1 when Justice David Souter announced his plan to retire, Sotomayor, 54, was viewed as a leading contender for the spot. Judge Diane Wood of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit appeared to take the lead last week.
But in a C-SPAN interview aired over the weekend, Obama emphasized again the need for a ?common touch,? a quality that seemed to point toward someone with Sotomayor?s background.
