Judge Sonia Sotomayor

Why is this nomination so important, so historical and so interesting to us as Powerful Latinas?  We are preparing a PANEL DISCUSSION on Sonia, so there will *not* be an interview for the next couple of weeks.  There will shortly be more info on this panel so check back here!

A few facts:  Judge Sotomayor served 11 years on the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, one of the most demanding circuits in the country, and has handed down decisions on a range of complex legal and constitutional issues.  If confirmed, 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.
