Sonia Sotomayor makes a historical gain for the Hispanic community and for US history becoming the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. After a controversial run with politicians who tried to prove that "she could not separate her race from the law", Sotomayor is victorious in her long pursuit of the Supreme bench.
A 17 year veteran federal judge, Sonia Sotomayor will not only be the first Hispanic ruling on the Supreme Court, but also only the 3rd female to ever be honored with the position. Her nomination was confirmed by a 68-31 vote!
We truly are living in an era of "change" as Barack Obama would put it. We have an African American running the Oval Office and a female Hispanic Supreme Court Justice. I'd have to say the good ol' US of A has come a long way in settling its racial differences.....at least in politics. That being said, the American people can hopefully get past the surface judgements as well and let the past be a lesson and not a hindrance. I know too many people who hold themselves back in the world because they continue to believe they are oppressed. Welcome to the 21st century people! Get up and make something of yourself......you CAN!
