Sotomayor Breaks Ankle in New York

Sonia Sotomayor broke her ankle this morning hurrying through New York’s LaGuardia airport, the Washington Post reports. The Supreme Court nominee was X-rayed at a Washington hospital after her flight and found to have a small fracture; she’s now on crutches. “She has been treated and released, and is looking forward to keeping her full schedule of meetings on Capitol Hill this afternoon,” said a White House spokesman.
