At her Wednesday night book talk here, Justice Sonia Sotomayor glided through her audience of 700, dispensing homespun wisdom through a cordless microphone, interrupted by impromptu applause.

When the moderator read a question from Tabbie Major, age 7, about which books Justice Sotomayor loved as a child, she found the girl, locked her in an embrace, held on while reminiscing about Nancy Drew mysteries and then called out for a photographer to capture the moment. No need: a good portion of the crowd was already snapping pictures.

Remember what President Obama said when - just before he nominated Sotomayor - he talked about what he was looking for in a Supreme Court Justice?

Ya done good on that one Mr. President. Thank you!!!!

1. I love Sotomayor. Can't wait to buy her book.

She is one person I admire in my list of "the most admired"

2. Thank you Luke. I love and admire, Sotomayor too.

She has already made history. However, she has only started to spread her wings, she will soar!
