Yesterday, the Democrats leaked some of the names President Bush is considering, and one of them is indeed a woman: Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.

The first lady added: "I know that my husband will pick somebody who has a lot of integrity and strength. And whether it's a woman or a man, of course, I have no idea."

The president, when asked about his wife's comments, told the Washington Post: "I talked to her yesterday, and listen, I get her advice all the time. I didn't realize she put this advice in the press. She did? Well, good. We're definitely considering people from all walks of life."

Sotomayor was named a U.S. District judge in 1991 by former President George H.W. Bush, the president's father, and confirmed in August 1992. President Clinton nominated her for a seat on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in 1997, and she was confirmed in 1998.
