How might her experience as a trial judge impact the Court? President Obama indicated he was looking for a jurist who had "a common touch and a sense of compassion." Is he suggesting the current Supreme Court is out of touch with the impact their decisions have on Americans? We'll examine how Sotomayor, if confirmed, might affect the makeup of the U.S. Supreme Court and its decision-making in the coming years.

Second half of the program: Matters of the Mind -- Autism Experts estimate that three to six children out of every 1,000 will have autism. Autism is characterized by impaired social interaction, problems with verbal and nonverbal communication, and unusual, repetitive, or severely limited activities and interests. It is a disorder that doctors have begun to understand better, provide new treatments to patients and further assistance to families.

This being said, when will a study be done comparing unvaccinated children and those who receive the entire recommended vaccine schedule. report abuse

written by Becky , May 28, 2009, 03:51:25 PM Re: Mike's comment above I find it interesting that my vet won't give my dog more than two vaccines at a time. She said it's too stressful to their system. But the pediatrician wants to give my niece 5-6 vaccines in a day (some of them "combo" vaccines)! I love my dog, but for crying out loud, you think we'd be at least that concerned about our human babies getting so many vaccines at once. And, for those that are wondering, my vet started saying this about 7 years ago, so it's not like she picked up on the "new" theory of too many vaccines causing autism. I think it's something to be looked into. report abuse
