    Obama nominates Sottomayor - does he realize she's a Bush appointee?

     

    President Obama promised us a clean break from the evils of the Bush presidency, yet here he is nominating Sonia Sottomayor to the US Supreme Court.  Does he even realize that she's a Bush appointee to the NY District court where she sits now? 

     

    Among her more controversial decisions, sure to be vetted during congressional hearings:

     

    - in 1995, in a "strike breaking" decision, she ordered MLB players back to work, siding with the owners rather than the players union

    - Overturning freedom of the press traditions, she required a new york newspaper to print Vince Foster's alleged suicide note, which bore neither his fingerprints nor his signature  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vince_Foster

     

    Sottomayor, who is a huge Yankees fan, was not  romantically linked to Randy Johnson during his short tenure on the Yankees pitching staff.
