"1. also from the article

Although President Obama noted that she had first been nominated to the district court in 1992 by the first President Bush, she was actually chosen for the seat by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat, who had an arrangement with his Republican counterpart, Senator Alfonse M. D’Amato, to share district court judge selections in New York. President Bush did little more than ratify the agreement.

In 1997, Republican senators held up her nomination by President Bill Clinton to the appeals court for more than a year, foreseeing that as a Hispanic appellate judge she would be a formidable candidate for the Supreme Court.

. . .
In addition to ending the baseball strike while on the trial court, Judge Sotomayor ruled in another case that homeless people working for the Grand Central Partnership, a business consortium, had to be paid the minimum wage. In May 1994, she ordered New York State prison officials to allow inmates to wear beads of the Santeria religion under their belts. And in December 1993, she struck down as unconstitutional a White Plains law that prohibited the displaying of a menorah in a city park."

10. LOL. Lieberman would be an extremelly liberal pick too. VERY liberal actually.
Dude is a slimy warhawk when it comes to foreign policy and the "war on terror", but those aren't even the big issues of the day as far as the court is concerned. Lieberman would support abortion rights and gay rights decisions probably 100% on our side. And those are just a few of the issues I'd bet he would vote the right (left) way on.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still not a fan of Lieberman as a person, but CMON, he isn't the least bit moderate in reality.
