Nominee for the Supreme Court

President Obama nominated Judge Sonia Sotomayor of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to replace Justice David Souter in the Supreme Court. She went to a Catholic School and then got into Princeton University. She got her law degree from Yale Law School where she served as editor of the Yale Law Journal. She then worked in the district attorney office in New York for Robert Morgenthau, and tried private practice. In 1991, the first President Bush elected her (selected by senate a year later) for the federal district court. President Clinton selected her for the court of appeal in 1997. She is from a Puerto Rican family, lost her father when 9 years old, raised in Bronx public housing projects to become the nation’s first Hispanic justice. For more on this see NYTimes today. I’ll try to read on this and post more.
