Actually…

…if it’s ice cream versus Sonia Sotomayor for pressing summertime concerns, I’m more worried about the latter.

The U. S. Senate confirmation hearings for Sonia Sotomayor, President Barack Obama’s first nominee to the U. S. Supreme Court, are a million miles away. You’re more worried — and rightly so — about whether to have a caramel fudge ripple cone this evening on your walk beside the lake or a fudge brownie chunk one. (Get a double scoop — one of each –it’s vacation after all.)

I read about Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings. I expect the same exacting standards to be applied to Sotomayor. What are the chances?
