Megyn Kelly v. Sonia Sotomayor: Who Wore It Better?
Judge Sonia Sotomayor and Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who was covering Sotomayor's confirmation hearings, both sported electric blue blazers over black blouses today. Kelly -- who is, by the way, also a lawyer (Albany Law / Jones Day) -- joked on air that she called up President Obama and got advance word of Sotomayor's outfit, so they could coordinate.
A reader poll, inspired by the regular US Weekly feature, "Who wore it better?" -- after the jump.
Update: Having a hard time deciding? Check out our slideshow below, which contains multiple screenshots of Megyn Kelly and Judge Sotomayor.

Blah blah.
Lat = bone smuggler.
26.3% of all ATL readers are blind. Next.
Kelly's got crooked nostrils. Really distracting...
Sotomayor looks like Schwarzenegger in Total Recall.
"Two Weeks. Two weeks!"
First to say that ATL needs to invest un a video capture card.
She actually looks quite fetching in a mumu.
Lat hates Sotomayor! only explanation for this poll. :D
Is this even a question!?!?
Lat, do you like to smuggle plums?
Sotomajor
Since when were transvestites eligible to be Supreme Court Justices anyway?
A wise Latina woman obviously looks better in an electric blue blazer than a white woman.
Is anyone surprised that someone whose parents spelled their name "Megyn" would wind up at a "law school" like Albany?

The blond is hotter, duh, but as to who wore it better, its looks better with Sotomayor's coloring and the style is too old for Kelly.
5,
Comment of the Century. See http://www.imdb.com/media/rm119117056/tt0100802
12, well done. And how the hell can I tell who wore it better with no below the shoulder shot?
13: And yet, the girl named Megyn who went to Albany Law makes much more and has significantly more job security than any law firm associate does. I usually take the side of the elitists, but she did pretty damn well for herself with that Albany degree so it's hard to criticize her.
question is who is hotter, not who wore it better.
15 - Very true. I voted for Sotomayor too.
I am a Seton Hall summer at Orrick. Should I be scared of Sotomayor?
Megyn, of course, but what is that Eyetalian hand gesture and tip-of-the-tongue vowel formation thing that Megyn has going in the screen shot.
Could Megyn have an Eytalian in her otherwise Irish ancestry?
The hands never lie…..
18 -
She still couldn't play at my country club.
If you have an "alternatively" spelled conventional name, you might as well have a surname ending in a vowel.

damn, Jones Day hired out of Albany Law.
tsk tsk tsk
First a post about hot guy lawyers at whatever big law firm that was. Then a post about shoes. Then a post about who looks better in women's clothing. I think Lat might be getting gayer.
24: FWIW, she was law review there and it's not like Jones Day is a terribly prestigious law firm anyway -- they're much more about quantity, as in offices everywhere and armies of associates, than they are about selectivity and quality.
BLARRRRRF!
I'm pretty sure than Megyn Kelly, wearing anything, "wears it better" than Sotomayor, wearing anything.
this is what 5 meant.

23 = racist bigot.
looks like Sotomayor is saying "give in to your hatred young Ms. Kelly. Strike me down and your journey to the dark side will be complete."
make sure to file this story in the "who gives a sh*t" category
Megyn Kelly would look better with a pearl necklace
I should have gone to Albany or some other TTT; that's where all the hotties are. My top-14 is a kennel club.
Can't imagine having a study group with Megyn, talking about compulsory joinder, fee tail, etc.
30 = Roxana
26.2% of ATL readers who voted do not share my fidelity to the truth.
Sotomayor looks like a parade float
3: Why would you say that all the Sotomayor voters are blind? What are the odds that every single blind person who found themselves mysteriously propped in front of a monitor displaying the ATL poll somehow managed to click the same radio button, then, Ouija-like, move the pointer down to click Submit?
On average, half of the blind people who somehow managed to record a vote would vote for Megyn. This means at least 52.6% of ATL visitors are blind. Assuming that, at best, 1 in 2 blind ATL visitors are able to magically vote on the poll, it's actually quite obvious that 100% of people currently visiting this website are blind. QED.
17 - Here's your below-the-shoulder shot:

Megyn Kelly...sooooo hot. Want to touch the hiney.
12 and 17 - you're both idiots. You're probably the type who would complain about racial injustice too, and there you are blatantly promoting racial divides. People like you disgust me.
Megyn Kelly is hot. And not just law school hot. Sotomayor is law school ugly, and that's pretty damned ugly.
no contest. one of the most attractive women in the news.
Calling Sotomayor law school ugly is even an insult to law school ugly. Even within the typical (low) range of law school looks, she'd be in the bottom 10-20%.
The albany grad who went to jones day is hot. What a surprise.
I can't believe Megyn is a lawyer, she's so hot. Check her out in this photo:

"If you have an "alternatively" spelled conventional name, you might as well have a surname ending in a vowel.
13"
she does have a surname ending in a vowel you fucktard
26--shafted by Jones Day.
48 - I wasn't shafted by JD - I never applied - but it is generally agreed that JD is not very prestigious (with a few exceptions, like Issues and Appeals).
хочу блондинки заебать - так, что я проголосовал за блондинки.
Дейвид Лат - пошел ты на хуй бля!
30 - doesn't follow the news.
50 = comment of the week
There were two blondes on Fox this afternoon and one of them had absolutely lovely breasts. I can't remember if it was Kelly or the other one.
Shockingly (unless your SCOTUS), I think the wise latina made a mistake on this one.
She should have thrown on a poncho and a sombrerero to play to her base.
18 - uh, are you kidding? Do you really think that her sterling Albany Law credentials are what got her the money, security, and whatever else comes with her FoxNews gig?
Its because she's hot. Brit Hume stated that outright (click on the "also a lawyer" link for the old ATL story about her). He said she's hot, she has a strong voice, and she bought into FoxNews' right wing whack job ethos from Day 1. Hume practically came right out and said she was a pre-brainwashed news bunny. Slam dunk! Any other network and that would be a scandal.
She could have gone to a TTT or not gone to law school at all, for all it was worth. She might as well have listed her years at Albany Law as "time spent doing stuff" on her resume for all that it mattered to FoxNews. Assuming they ever even looked at her resume - other than the headshot stapled to it (doubt it).
You might as well look at Tony LaRussa and say he's really done well with a Florida State law degree, as if it had any bearing on his successfully managing major league baseball teams. Like Megyn, its simply a mildly interesting and wholely irrelevant footnote to his life. They both might be licensed pilots too, but their current careers aren't a testament to the skill of their flight instructors.
About all Megyn's legal career tells you with any certainty is that if you are a "TV hot" woman, the horndog partners at Jones Day will hire you out of Rocco Columbo's School of Law and Refrigerator Repair.
BoHa ochiH kpacuva,
davau, davau, davau
55 = Sonia Sotomayor
Sotomayor = cow
Albany- has more Presidents and SCOTUS Justices to count as Alum than most tier 1 schools (Ivy League excluded).
"Albany- has more Presidents and SCOTUS Justices to count as Alum than most tier 1 schools (Ivy League excluded)."
I have more SCOTUS experience than most people (people who have any SCOTUS experience excluded)
Ok - Politics aside, WTF is voting to Sotomayor in this poll?
Do you need glasses? Seriously people, this is getting out of hand.
61,
It may be the same people who believed that Carla Bruni was intimidated by Michelle Obama because Michelle is just so glamorous...
62,
...instead of because Michelle shoots up with HGH and may blow into racist roid rage.
faaaascinating....
Are you people serious about Megyn Kelly? That nose screams bad nose job and automatically brings her down at least a point, if not two. Of course, Sotomayor's nose is even worse, but at least she's not trying to get by on her looks.
Sotomayer definitely wears it better. She could play linebacker for my team anyday.
I'm sorry, but when you name your daughter "Megyn with a 'y,'" you're essentially guaranteeing that she'll end up on on The Pole. Or FauxNews (as if there's a difference).
As if another affirmative action SCOTUS hire wasn't bad enough, the Soviets start posting on ATL! It's all over.
67 - "FauxNews" hahhahahahahaha!!! Did you come up with that yourself? I've never heard it!
- - -
Megyn is absolutely beautiful, and striking in person. She's a tad bit outspoken in an annoying, ugh-I-wish-women-didn't-speak, just-because-you're-hot-doesn't-mean-you-can-get-away-with-it-,-okay-maybe-it-does way, but I'll be damned if that would stop me. She's close to perfect (but knows it).
Sotomayoar bareback!
69 = Britt Hume
Megyn Kelly is not only hot, she's also smart, poised, and eloquent. Anyone who has ever actually watched her would know that in addition to being a solid anchor she is one of the more sophisticated legal commentators on television. I realize that this is not saying a great deal, but it is disingenuous to suggest that she obtained her position by pure hotness. I doubt many of the people criticizing her would do as well reacting to newsworthy legal events on the fly.
I know it wounds the ego of all you prestige whores to see someone who didn't go to a T10 school making more money than you do. But there is more to career success than your undergraduate GPA and LSAT score. Suck on it whores. Suck on it and like it.
Megyn = super-hot
People who voted for Sotomayor = jealous women, homosexuals and liars
55 = chick who's still pissed that Megyn Kelly stole her man.
What a stupid poll! Megyn Kelly is hot and Sonia Sotomayor is butt-ass ugly.
