    @Vivien Smith-Smythe-Smith: Oh, dear Aunt Helen! I once saw a wonderful version of that second picture in which Bush was photoshopped to be eating an ice-cream and not sharing.
    Do you remember when people had fits about Helen Clark wearing a trouser suit to meet the Queen? I thought it was utterly ridiculous.
    And I think Sonia Sotomayor looks professional and stylish in those pictures. The bright red jacket is such an awesomely vivid colour!

    "Judge Sotomayor, by choosing to wear a blazer, are you saying you do not support Michelle Obama's right to BARE ARMS?"

    This is someone who gets to cover all her clothes up for her job. I don't think she worries about what the fashion industry is thinking about her choices.

    I am disappointed that Alito does not dress Italian enough. With the incredible fashion that comes out of Milan, who can he dress so boring?

    I am surprised she didn't mention the one thing about her sartorial choices that I noticed: This black-with-a-bright jacket instead of a full suit is very Sarah Palin.

    We should be focusing on what's important here, namely: What does Sotomayor's outfit think of the ruling in Pleats vs. Flatfront Pants?

    Cute shoes!

    Oh... no evidence of shoes. (recovers) Well, no evidence to the contrary! Innocent until proven guilty, amiright?

    Though seriously, I thought what she wore was universally tasteful yet bold and feminine. Oh wells, 999,999/1,000,000 is not bad.

    @booboolee: Technically, she only had one shoe on, as the old leg was yet clad in a cast. So, I must admit: the shoes were not cute. I also didn't care.

    All these fashion assholes can suck it when she's confirmed and gets an awesome SCOTUS robe. They can go on and on about sheath dresses and bangle bracelets all they like, but there is nothing I want to see Sotomayor wear as much as that robe.

    @vulcanized: I wonder what she will add to hers. Ginsburg has her lace collars; will Sotomayor accessorize with giant bracelets, or perhaps some fabulous earrings? No one say sombrero.

    Well, I don't want to put words in Judge Sotomayor's mouth, but I'm pretty sure she would say something like, "I didn't get where I am today by listening to the "fashion industry's constant refrain." And I sure as shit don't give a fuck what Robin Givhan thinks. Who is she anyway?"

    Also, sheath dresses may look good when you're standing up, but sitting in them is tricking for those of us with a bit of belly. They make me look link a bent sausage, about to bust its casing.

    Funny, my only thought about her clothes was that the colored jackets were pretty bold choices, given the context and the usual stodginess of both Senators and appellate judges.

    Clearly harem pants with a military-style jacket would have been more fashion-forward ... AND a subtle nod to the war on terror!

    Basically, they're bitter because she didn't get her tits out. How sad. I'm so sorry her, in your opinion, complete and utter lack of sexual display was so distracting while she was interviewed for the highest court in the country.

    To be fair, Ruth Bader wore a tube top and fuzzy mule slippers to her induction. So there was a feminine precedent.
