Amidst all of the press coverage of the Sotomayor nomination yesterday, WISN (Channel 12) ran an interesting story focusing on the reactions of Ed Fallone and Rick Esenberg.  The story highlighted Ed’s correct prediction of the Sotomayor nomination in a comment on this Blog on the very day Justice Souter announced his retirement.  (Have any good stock tips, Ed?) 

I also enjoyed reading the characteristically thoughtful commentary on Politico about Sotomayor by our former colleague Scott Moss.  His observation of gender bias in some of the criticisms of Sotomayor resonates with recent work by Andrea Schneider on gender roles in negotiation, which I plan to blog about later today.
