1. Interesting photos.

Make me wonder what they are thinking and saying.

3. Obama talking to Scalia and Biden talking to Roberts....I only wish

they were telling them off but I guess that would not be appropriate, huh?

15. Obama was asking Kennedy, "How are you feeling?

Are you getting tired, yet? Wouldn't you want to spend your days fishing?"

4. Good photos!

Thanks for posting them. I can't see them all together without thinking of that Boston Legal episode.

For once, Clarence Thomas appears to be awake.

5. I think she's very pretty

:)

[Mabus]

8. I was thinking the same thing

Beauty and brains.

[CatWoman]

17. and I hope she gives F. Tony and Doubting Thomas

HELL!!!

[Mabus]

20. You know how that stuff works

...it rolls downhill. So, if she gives hell to Tony, Doubting Thomas will hear about it for days. Sotomayor scores a two-fer.

11. She's the best looking justice on the court imo.

[Qutzupalotl]

18. Agreed.

And I would totally tap that.

6. I think that SC library needs an architectural update

It's so stuffy and wooden.

Nice pics though, thanks for posting.

7. A beautiful sight! nt

9. I wonder why Scalia is smiling in #1

10. Proud of the moment when a Black President gets a Latina Woman

confirmed to the Supreme Court?

Or maybe he farted?

[liquid diamond]

12. Hahaha. I think it's the latter.

[Thickasabrick]

13. That one got my attention too - what kind of evil crap was he

thinking?

[undeterred]

25. He's not a U.S. Citizen either.

:hide:

14. NPR says Ricky Martin is a longtime friend of Sotomayor.

I know, strange, huh.

Her official portrait looks fabulous.

[Jackeens]

16. Ah, thanks Qutzupalotl - I was puzzled by that one!

[Catshrink]

19. No photos of Obama with Thomas...

Guess the comparison would be too much for ole Clarence.

21. An African-American president and an Hispanic SC justice . . .

Historic day, this. :)

[Cha]

22. Beautiful pics of Judge Sotomayor!

What's Ricky doing there? :)

[GivePeaceAchance]

23. Just imagine an all female supreme court that'd have the right wing out there minds but ...

Justice fully assured.

24. She looks beautiful! This makes me very proud! n/t

26. Wonderful pics

I love how everyone was ignoring Clarence Thomas.
