Politicker has the reaction of Ruben Diaz of the Bronx to the Sotomayor nomination:

"For Hispanics and for all Puerto Ricans, it's an achievement that is long overdue," Diaz said. "The Democratic Party has taken us for granted for so long, and we feel we have been there for the Democratic Party always."

He said Sotomayor, currently a judge on Second Circuit Court of Appeals, was "very qualified" but said that "for Christians, it will be bad."

The Huffington Post, meanwhile, quotes pro-equality organizations that will surely drive Diaz barking mad.

"Nobody wanted to talk to the queer person at that time," said Ettelbrick, who represented Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund. "She was the only one [on the advisory committee] who made a point to come over and introduce herself. She was totally interested [in gay civil rights issues] and supportive."

"From everything I know, Judge Sotomayor is an outstanding choice - fair and aware, open and judicious," said Evan Wolfson, head of the national Freedom to Marry organization. "I believe she has the demonstrated commitment to principles of equal protection and inclusion that defines a good nominee to the Supreme Court.

Imagine that, Senator Diaz.
