Sonia Sotomayor Reverse-Heals Ankle as Only Wise Latina Woman Could

How can Justice Sonia Sotomayor take a strong stance against (or for, or whatever people are saying this week) Roe v. Wade when she can't even stand up without crutches, huh?

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was taken to George Washington University Medical Center in the District this morning for X-rays of her right ankle after stumbling at the La Guardia airport in New York, White House officials said…

"This morning, on the way to Washington, D.C., Judge Sotomayor tripped at LaGuardia Airport. After an X-ray at Medical Faculty Associates, it was determined that Judge Sotomayor has a small fracture in her right ankle," [a WH press secretary] said. "She has been treated and released, and is looking forward to keeping her full schedule of meetings on Capitol Hill this afternoon."

Another reason for the conservatives to oppose her nomination to the Supreme Court. Soft on calcium.
