Obama picks Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to be the next Supreme Court Judge to replace David Souter

Tuesday, May 26, 2009

In a much anticipated choice of Barack Obama, he nominiated federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court. She represents hispanics for the first time for a U.S. Supreme Court Justice position. At age 54, she has now reached the highest office you can obtain as a judge. Still, she must be confirmed. President Obama says Sotomayor "is an inspiring woman who I believe will make a great justice," during a White House announcement. He believes that she has more experience which qualifies her for the job, more than any other seated judge when they acquired their office. Humbled for the nomination, she thanked President Obama for the nominiation. She claims "My heart is bursting with gratitude. I am an ordinary person who has been blessed with extraordinary opportunities and experiences."
President Obama met her briefly for about an hour Thursday, and did not make the announcement of his choice until today. Predident Obama most likely made his decision, but did not want to make any formal announcements until today. She will now be vacating the position as judge on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and received a nomination by President George H.W. Bush in 1992. President Clinton elevated her to her current seat. Obama's nominee will replace retiring Justice David Souter, who announced this month he would step down when the court's current session ends this summer.
She had a tuff road to where she is now, as she started her humble beginning living in a housing project in South Bronx, but then went on to attend Princeton University and eventually attended Yale Law School.
