Sotomayor Inspired By TV Lawyer
During her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor tells Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) that the television show Perry Mason inspired her to become a prosecutor.

She says she thought the idea of serving in that role was quite amazing. (0:54)
