Sonia Sotomayor

Judge Sonia Sotomayor, Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court is expected to begin making courtesy visits next week to Senate leaders and members of the Judiciary Committee who will conduct hearings on her nomination.

Some outside groups are sounding the alarm against her while most Senators are mostly silent.

What do you think? Will it get done by August and completed by September? Do you think she will be approved? How much damage can the Republican opposition inflict without harming their own party?

Twitter? Hey, what's going on?

If you tweet about what's going on in Afghanistan, is it possible that the Taliban is also using twitter?
"Any technology we're using, we can expect the enemy to be using too." - an Army public affairs officer at the Pentagon


Obama v. Cheney? What's going on here? We didn't hear from Cheney for years and now that he is out of office, he can't stop talking!
I can't recall any ex-vice president talking so much, so soon!


If anyone is still out there - Happy Memorial Day.

Veteran Pennsylvania Sen Arlen Specter said Sunday that he hopes his recent switch to the democratic party will serve as a "wake-up call" to an increasingly conservative GOP.

Do you think conservatives have been squeezing moderates out of the GOP? Does it even matter?
