The U.S. Senate has begun hearings on the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Help your Senators get Sotomayor confirmed. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them to support a fair confirmation process. President Barack Obama recently announced his nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to replace Justice David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court. Judge Sotomayor’s life experience combined with her sterling academic and judicial experience demonstrate that she is a uniquely well-qualified nominee with a sharp and independent mind and a record of excellence and integrity. Judge Sotomayor would bring more federal judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice in 100 years, and more overall judicial experience than anyone confirmed for the Court in the past 70 years. Furthermore, throughout her distinguished three-decade judicial career, Sotomayor has brought to the courts a common sense understanding of how laws impact the realities of people's daily lives. Sotomayor is also the first Latino nominated to the United States Supreme Court. She is a first-generation American and grew up in the South Bronx – fulfilling another of President Obama’s promises to add diversity of background to the Supreme Court. ADAction: Contact your Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them to support and vote for this impressive nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor. View All ADA Updates |
