Judge Sotomayor is a true American. She grew up in a public housing project believing in the power of education. With her own indefatigable work ethic, Sotomayor excelled in school and won a scholarship to Princeton University. After graduating Summa Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa, she entered Yale Law School, where she served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal.

She has worked at almost every level of our judicial system — prosecutor, litigator, trial court judge and appellate judge.

Sotomayor would be the court’s first Latina justice. She is an inspiring public figure and will make a great justice. I hope the Senate will move swiftly to confirm her nomination.
