I missed this article in time to post it in BN, but I think there is some good stuff in it: Sotomayor predicts WikiLeaks case in Supreme Court - Yahoo! News
Legislation involving anything that touches on free speech always scares me, but there is simply no excuse for things like the WikiLeaks scandal, and something does need to be done. Sotomayor did not indicate in any way where she falls on the question.
She talked on a couple other issues as well:
I find it hard to believe she has not looked into this at least a bit, but find her neutrality interesting considering her heritage.
I really do like this statement.
Sotomayor said Thursday that the "incident, and others, are going to provoke legislation that's already being discussed in Congress, and so some of it is going to come up before (the Supreme Court)."

"I haven't really examined the Arizona law in detail ... so I haven't formed an opinion yet, and I wouldn't until I heard the case," Sotomayor told a Latino boy who asked the question.

"Waiting for the courts to resolve these issues is not what all of you should be doing," Sotomayor said, adding that they have to "work hard at either passing laws that you think do the right thing, or changing those laws which you think do the wrong thing."
