Sotomayor quits women's club after GOP criticism

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor resigned Friday from an elite all-women's club after Republicans questioned her participation in it. Sotomayor said she resigned from the Belizean Grove to prevent the issue from becoming a distraction in her confirmation hearings. [TOO LITTLE TOO LATE if that's what she wants. Not to compare the organizations, but if a guy had quit the KKK only for those reasons, would you expect everybody to just drop the matter?]
