A Historical Confirmation!!

A historical vote that the Senate has confirmed Justice Sotomayor as the next 111th Supreme Court Justice, replacing Justice Souter.

The third woman Justice and first Hispanic Justice for the highest court in America.

The President stated,  “It’s a promise that, whether you’re a mighty corporation or an ordinary American, you will receive a full and fair hearing.  And in the end, the outcome of your case will be determined by nothing more or less than the strength of your argument and the dictates of the law.”

“These core American ideals — justice, equality, and opportunity — are the very ideals that have made Judge Sotomayor’s own uniquely American journey possible.”

No matter what you may think about her judicial experience and statements in the past the deed has been done. We are left to now wipe the slate clean and see just how she has a junior court member will proceed in this lifetime duty to serve our country.

God Bless the USA

Here comes the Judge!

President Barack Obama announces the new nomination to replace Supreme Justice Souter.  Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

Excerpt from Organizing for America

Born and raised in a South Bronx public housing project to Puerto Rican parents, Sotomayor has distinguished herself in academia, as a big-city prosecutor, and as a leading figure on the federal bench. If confirmed, Judge Sotomayor would start with more federal judicial experience than any new Justice in 100 years.

First appointed to the Federal District Court by President George H.W. Bush, and then elevated to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals by President Bill Clinton, Judge Sotomayor is widely admired as one the finest legal minds in America today. As a trail-blazing Latina whose career has spanned nearly every aspect of the law, Judge Sotomayor will show fidelity to the Constitution while bringing to the Court a common sense understanding of how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives.
