Judge Sotomayor might be the luckiest person alive

...not just being tapped to sit on the highest court in the land. She's lucky on other counts too. Check out this Chicago Tribue story:

Last Nov. 23 she hit a jackpot in a Florida casino, collecting $8,283 in winnings while gambling with her mother.

Sotomayor listed her winnings in a recently released disclosure form outlining her 2008 finances.

She's a liberal jurist who enjoys gambling and baseball? She's right up my alley, even if she is a Yankees fan. (Though I must admit, if I were born and raised in the Bronx, I would cheer for the Bombers as well.) This should make for a potential tense October on the Court if the Yanks square off against Justice Alito's Phils or Justice Stevens' Cubbies.
