Reason.com: Barely Hitting Above the Mendoza Sotomayor Line[*]

Last week, Reason.com asked a baker's dozen of legal experts to speculate on who President Barack Obama would pick to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter.

Read "Replacing Justice Souter" here.

[*]: All about the Mendoza Line, generally considered the lowest allowable Major League batting average for a non-pitcher.

Seeing as Sotomayor was mentioned by almost every pundit on cable, I'm surprised the reason guys are so out of touch. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be.
