$10 to the first Senator to ask Sotomayor about this at her confirmation hearing?

New York Times: Sotomayor, a Trailblazer, and a Dreamer [but did she wear a bullet proof vest?]

“At other times, it involved more derring-do: if the firm had a tip from the United States Customs Office about a suspicious shipment, Ms. Sotomayor would often be involved in the risky maneuver of going to the warehouse to have the merchandise seized. One incident that figures largely in firm lore was a seizure in Chinatown, where the counterfeiters ran away, and Ms. Sotomayor got on a motorcycle and gave chase. ”

We’re pretty sure the whole episode went down like this — which means Senator Sessions should be asking for a copy of her motorcycle driver’s permit in t-minus 5 minutes.

We hate to be the ones to crush Sotomayor’s superhero dreams, but it’s worth pointing out that allowing these stories to live on isn’t always helpful. [insert Hillary and the Bosnian bullets]
