Introducing Judge Sonia Sotomayor:

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.
