I'm listening to President Obama's press conference announcing federal judge Sonia Sotomayor as his nominee for Supreme Court Justice and he made a small gaffe, 20 decades not centuries. We knew what you meant to say, Mr. President.
Judge Sotomayor seems to be a reasonable choice and I wish her a speedy confirmation and a distinguished career as a high court jurist.
