Judge Sonia Sotomayor has been confirmed to serve as the 111th justice on the United States Supreme Court. Justice Sonia Sotomayor is first Latina to sit on the nation's highest court. She graduated from Princeton University in 1976 and received her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1979. She was an editor at the Yale Law Journal. She worked as a assistant district attorney in New York for five years. She taught at New York University School of Law and Columbia Law. In 1991, she was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush. In 1997, she was nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit by President Bill Clinton. In May 2009, President Obama appointed Sonia Sotomayor for U.S. Supreme Court Justice. She won by a vote of 68-31.
There is so much controversy about her being the first Hispanic and the third female justice. I would like to know everyone's view points on this.
She seems to be a good choice. Although I disagree with her previous court's ruling on the firefighter case.
