Ironically, we’ve been having a heated debate on another post here about minorities in America. Now, Obama has announced his choice for supreme court: Sonia Sotomayor. She’d be the first Hispanic to sit on the court, and the third female.
It is appropriate given the number of Hispanic Americans in the U.S. Sotomayor is considered a “moderate-liberal,” which would bring balance to the court. It is unlikely that Republicans would block her nomination and risk alienating their Hispanic onstituents.
Sotomayor could be confirmed before the end of the summer.
