The Judge was on her way to DC to meet with the GOP Senators today when she broke her ankle before boarding the Shuttle to DC. New is sketchy at this time. I first heard the news about 45 mins ago on Fox, but waited till I swa a written report before trusting Fox's report, heh.
Jun 8th, 2009 | WASHINGTON -- The White House says Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor has broken her ankle after an airport stumble in New York City.
The story is just now breaking so the report is short. Too short to cut and paste any more than I have. http://www.salon.com/...
She appears to be one tough Judge since reports say she stopped by the White House before going for X-rays. More to be added as it becomes available.
Here's to wishing the Judge a swift recovery as she will probably need both legs in the coming ass-kicking contest.
The White House Press Release is below.
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. She has been treated and released, and is looking forward to keeping her full schedule of meetings on Capitol Hill this afternoon.
