Sonia Sotomayor’s Last Laugh

Linda Greenhouse

on the Supreme Court and the law.


Justice Sonia Sotomayor is accustomed [ adjectif ]

to being underestimated

and to surpassing the expectations of her doubters.

So I’ll wonder if she even took the time to ponder the leak

last week of a May 2009 letter to President Obama

from a famous Harvard law professor lobbying for

the selection of Elena Kagan

to replace Justice David H. Souter,

whose retirement had recently been announced.

I’m quite sure it is the professor, Laurence H. Tribe,

rather than Justice Sotomayor,

who is mortified by the revelation

that he had dissed the soon-to-be-nominee,

a graduate of Princeton and Yale Law School,

as “not as smart as she seems to think she is.”’

It's the ultimate global marketplace,

The reform of the Victorian law

will be the first step towards

an almost total ban on smacking,

although the Government will make clear

it has no desire to criminalise

parents who give their child a quick smack

at moments of frustration

or to keep them out of danger.

'We are sympathetic [ adjectif ]

to looking at reforming

the reasonable chastisement defence

in a way that catches those who assault their children

and then use this defence,'

a source close to Charles Clarke,

the Education Secretary, said.

Broadband machines are always connected

at high speed to the internet,

making them preferable [ adjectif ]

to using a slower dial-up connection.

But security flaws

in the Windows operating system mean

that viruses or hackers can subvert the machines

without the owner being aware.
