Sotomayor Confirmed to Supreme Court



Seth Stern, Congressional Quarterly: "A little more than three months after Justice David H. Souter announced his intention to retire, the Senate on Thursday confirmed Sonia Sotomayor to become the Supreme Court's first Hispanic justice. The vote was 68-31. The outcome had been foretold for weeks, given the Democrats' overwhelming margin in the Senate and Sotomayor's competent but cautious performance during her four-day confirmation hearing before the Judiciary Committee in July." http://www.truthout.org/080609R?n
