They've Thrown Out the Ceremonial First Protester

Just like the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game, the Senate Judiciary Committee has thrown out the first protester. These tweets just in from the Sotomayor opening ceremonies:

Protestor yells: "What about the unborn?! ...Stop genocide of unborn Latinos!"

I wonder how the Democrats are enjoying their "Code Pink" moment?

Of course, these shouted protests at congressional hearings don't persuade anybody, but they make for some lively theater. Given the number of times Code Pinkos have shouted at Republicans or military personnel, I think it's only right that the Dems get to enjoy some of the same uplifting moments during their gal's moment in the spotlight.
