I love this picture - Sonia & Barack. What a beautiful, class woman and what a smile!

She's smart, she's talented, and she was first appointed by a republican. She's proof that you can come from the projects and still live the American dream. She is an amazing role-model for young children.

Good luck Sonia!

1. Her happiness makes me happy.

What an infectious smile!

[pink-o]

2. wow, that's awesome! She truly looks thrilled.

That's what empathy and humanity look like, Michael Steele you stupid tool! I'd rather have Sonia's empathy any day, as compared to the crap your party is spewing.

3. These are the messages that make me happy

Anyone can be President, anyone can make it to the Supreme Court.

I just heard that of our 110 supreme court judges in US history; 106 have been white males. We are now seeing that America is more than that.

Congratulations to our next Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor.

7. Great smile

And I have a feeling that behind it is a person who will take no shit from certain members of the high court.

9. Do looks matter THAT much? I guess they do. Sad. nt

10. Oh please, this is more than just looks

I love her infectious smile - I see it and I just break out in a smile too. That speaks volumes and one of the reasons why I feel she is beautiful. Beautiful isn't some measure of ones looks but a person's overall personality and aspect on life. Having said that means to me someone like Sonia Sotomayer is way more beautiful than a 'beauty queen' like Carrie Prejean.

12. I called her as the nominee a few weeks ago, actually.

But, it's so weird how often threads talk about how good looking some folks are.

I think she's a great choice.

15. From her smile I detect someone who would be a lot of laughs at a party....n/t

11. I think this picture reflects her personality, you can see a joy from within.

That is, afterall, what truly makes a person beautiful.

13. Agree!
