We Have A Supreme Court Nominee!

"President Obama has chosen federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor as his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court, two sources told CNN on Tuesday." Jeffrey Rosen is rolling in his grave.

President Obama is expected make the official announcement in an hour or so, so maybe we will liveblog that -- unless the California Supreme Court makes a very early ruling on the whole gay marriage deal, in which case we will just have to do a double-header liveblog full of gays and Puerto Ricans. This is precisely the sort of nightmare apocalypse scenario that half the Supreme Court masturbates to every night.
