May 27th, 2009 | 0 comments | Posted by Jen

She has the word “honorable” in her title (and, for that matter, she has a title). But it wasn’t until our pal Jeff Chang sent us this photo of Sotomayor and her twin nephews Conner and Corey (who were apparently born in Korea), that we knew for sure:

I mean, c’mon. The peace sign is a DEAD. GIVEAWAY.
