Everyone is speculating about the ways Sotomayor’s personal background will compromise her judicial integrity. I mean, it’s pretty hard to hold a gavel while eating arroz con pollo, let alone while having a vagina. Here is a list of some glimpses into the personal lives of Supreme Court judges.

1. Judge Breyer opens up about exploring his sexuality: "In my experience when I was 8 or 10 or 12 years old, you know, we did take our clothes off once a day…. We changed for gym, O.K.? And in my experience, too, people did sometimes stick things in my underwear."
2. Scalia declares that when it comes to allegations of crotching, you’re guilty until searched and/ or proven innocent: "You search in the student’s pack, you search the student’s outer garments, and you have a reasonable suspicion that the student has drugs…. Don’t you have, after conducting all these other searches, a reasonable suspicion that she has drugs in her underpants? You’ve searched everywhere else…. By God, the drugs must be in her underpants."
3. Scalia challenges stereotypes about Italians using their hands. Scalia insists the gesture is not offensive or obscene, in which case it can only be interpreted as a gesture or Jewish-Italian hand-using unity.
4. Rehnquist is accused of being a Jew by President Nixon. Referring to Rehnquist as ”Renchberg…the guy dressed like a clown," alluding to Rehnquist’s loud shirt and psychedelic tie, the president asked, ”Is he Jewish? He looks it.”
5. Rehnquist brings jazz hands into court. The musical theater buff adds 4 gold braid stripes to the sleeves of his robe after seeing a production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s "Iolanthe," in which The Lord Chancellor (comic baritone) wears the costume.
6. Clarence Thomas makes history by becoming first Supreme Court justice accused of asking "Who has pubic hair on my coke?"
7. John Roberts is trans-friendly. A member of the drama club at high school, Roberts plays the female character of Peppermint Patty in the school’s production of You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown.
8. Mom’s say the darnedest things. While her son is trying to stay "mum" on roe v wade, Rose Alito tells the media "of course he’s against abortion."
9. "I promised myself I wouldn’t cry." After Alito is attacked for his membership (which he can’t even recall) in a harmless group (committed to blocking women and minorities from being admitted to Princeton,) Alito’s wife starts "crying hysterically after Ted Kennedy made her cry"/ after being reminded she married a bigot.
10. Nominee gets verbed. Bork gets "borked," this losing the nomination but winning the honor of having his name become a verb ("to bork")
