Sotomayor Web Chatter Index - Week 7

Confirmation Hearing

Now that the confirmation hearing for Ms Sonia Sotomayor's nomination to the US Supreme Court has started, I am curious to see how the chatter profile would change.

New items and faded topics

"Litigator" did not have the staying power to remain in the top 20. "Firefighters" is also waning. The new entrant to the top ranking is "judgepedia" - a wiki on judges, did not know one existed.

Foxnews has dropped in rankings after being highly ranked for most weeks. Would it come a come back now that the confirmation hearing is now?
