"Court Choice Pushes 'Identity Politics' to Forefront"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Court Choice Pushes 'Identity Politics' to Forefront": The New York Times on Sunday will contain this article, along with an article headlined "Sotomayor Would Be Sixth Catholic Justice, but the Pigeonholing Ends There." Adam Liptak will have a Week in Review article headlined "The Waves Minority Judges Always Make." And the newspaper will contain an editorial entitled "Judging Sonia Sotomayor." Today's newspaper, meanwhile, contains articles headlined "Obama Says Sotomayor Would Clarify a Remark" and "In Puerto Rico, Supreme Court Pick With Island Roots Becomes a Superstar."

Sunday in The Washington Post, Robert Barnes and Eli Saslow will have an article headlined "Bias Case Looms Large for Nominee; Ruling on Firefighters' Lawsuit Raises Questions About Sotomayor's Philosophy." Tomorrow's newspaper will also contain an article headlined "Friends Provide Glimpse Into Nominee's 'Very Full Life.'" And today's newspaper contains an article headlined "Obama Says Judge Regrets Wording; GOP Leaders Try to Rein In Reactions to Sotomayor's 2001 Speech."

Sunday's edition of The Los Angeles Times will contain articles headlined "Two sides to Sonia Sotomayor: The passion for minority rights that she showed from Princeton onward is scarcely reflected in a review of her judicial decisions; So which way would she lean on the Supreme Court?" and "Would Sotomayor really be the first Supreme Court Latino? Some say that Justice Benjamin Cardozo, reportedly of Portuguese descent, beat her to it in the 1930s; The debate renews old questions about the labels 'Latino' and 'Hispanic.'" Today's newspaper, meanwhile, contains an article headlined "Some Republicans rebuke Limbaugh, Gingrich on Sotomayor criticism; Accusations that the Latina Supreme Court nominee is racist can only hurt the party, say GOP members who advocate a more civil debate." And CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen has an op-ed entitled "Make Sotomayor's confirmation hearings worth hearing: The Senate questioning of Supreme Court nominees has become a farce; This time, let's have Sonia Sotomayor say more and senators say less."

And Michael Doyle of McClatchy Newspapers reports that "Sotomayor's record reveals she's far from soft on crime."
