The HuffPo has a great article by Sam Stein on how Sotomayor got picked:

Following a thorough vetting process that drew down the number of potential Supreme Court nominees to four, President Barack Obama ultimately settled on his decision to nominate Sonia Sotomayor at 8:00 p.m. on Monday, senior administration officials said. In the most detailed briefing to date about the process of filling the forthcoming Court vacancy, two high-ranking White House aides said on Tuesday that the president's decision on who should replace Justice David Souter came down to Solicitor General Elana Kagan, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit judge Diane Wood, and Sotomayor. The president personally knew the first three, having appointed two to their current posts and worked with Wood in Chicago. He had never met Sotomayor before. But after the two spent an hour together discussing judicial philosophy in the Oval Office last Thursday, he ultimately settled on the judge from the second district court of appeals. That meeting was part of a seven-hour visit Sotomayor made to the White House -- without, remarkably, being caught by any members of the press corps. The president had expressed an inclination as to his choice on Friday but took the weekend to think about it. |

yea i completely agree. i dont think only hispanics are getting over with republicans. i think majority of minorities are over with republicans coz of lack of support towards minorities and if they dont get it together. good luck winning future elections coz our generation is coming up. if that day occurs, when im able to vote. its going to take beating for a republican to persuade me.
