OBAMA WILL NOMINATE Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.

UPDATE: Jim Lindgren: “Compared to recent nominees, Sotomayor is a far more distinguished choice than was Harriet Miers (whom I opposed), but a less distinguished choice than John Roberts — and probably Samuel Alito as well. I expect Sotomayor to be confirmed, but without too much enthusiasm, except in a few pockets of the Democratic coalition.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: More thoughts from Ann Althouse.
